The Airplane
(Click or tap on any clue to reveal the clue.)
What is that tiny metallic noise I hear when I press the buttons?
- It's an announcement.
- It's coming over the headphone/receptacle audio system.
- You should wear and plug in the headphones (the bulge in the seat pocket) and then press the buttons.
Why are the buttons over my seat all mixed up?
- Because it's a FubAero Jet. The circuits seem to always be miswired (although methodically so).
- Maybe you can figure out which button goes to which function and seat.
- Light button = Reclines the seat 3 rows back (or 6 forward) and 1 seat left (or 3 right).
- Recline Button = Calls attendant for seat 1 row back (or 8 forward) and 2 seats left (or right).
- Call Button = Lights the seat 1 row forward.
- For example, the light button of 8C reclines seat 2B.
How do I get the attendant to remove my plate of Zalagasan delicacy?
- ASK THE ATTENDANT ABOUT REGULATIONS.
- You have to clear the food off your plate.
- You don't necessarily have to eat the food yourself to clear the plate.
Can I get someone to eat my stew for me?
- Would you eat someone else's stew?
- Well, maybe if you were a Zalagasan.
- Unfortunately, you can't sit next to the Zalagasans, so you can't get them to eat your stew.
- NO!
How do I get rid of my plate of Zalagasan delicacy?
- Play with the buttons at the airplane seats.
- Figure out what they do, and their pattern.
- You can recline other people's seats.
- Reclining a seat will upset the food tray of the seat behind it.
- Go to a seat where the button will knock YOUR food off your tray.
How can I get the Zalagasans to leave their seats?
- Show them your authentic Zalagasan tribal shield.
- Tell them about the llama sitting in the back row.
- Hum a few bars of the music you hear over the headphones.
- You can't get them to leave their seats. Why would you want to?
How can I get the woman to leave her seat?
- She's more concerned about her baby than you.
- When you walk past her seat, you disturb her baby, and she leaves her seat to calm the baby down.
- You need to REALLY upset the baby to get the woman away from her seat long enough to sit in.
- Read anything good lately?
- Read the airline magazine. Princess Ani-ta'a terrifies babies.
- SHOW THE AIRLINE MAGAZINE TO THE BABY.
- The mother will now leave her seat long enough for you to sit in it. Big deal. Are you proud of yourself for scaring babies?
Can I survive a plane crash?
- Didn't you read your safety card?
- It shows how to survive a plane crash.
- I guess the last step is important (and missing).
- You can't survive the crash unless you follow the instruction on the missing piece.
Where's the missing piece of the safety card?
- No desert [sic] until you finish your food.
- Don't continue unless you've cleaned the food off your plate.
- You should return to the seat where the food was dumped.
- You'll find the missing piece under the seat there.
Where can I find a parachute?
- Don't continue until you've found the missing piece of safety card.
- Read the safety card. (Some of the words aren't English.)
- To float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
- You need to ask an attendant for the item on the card.
- ASK ATTENDANT FOR STINGLAI KA'ABI.
How do I open the hatch to jump out of the plane?
- Follow the directions.
- LIFT THE HANDLE THEN PULL THE HANDLE.
How do I get my parachute unstuck from the plane?
- The parachute is stuck in the hatch. We'll restate the obvious in case you missed it.
- Maybe someone inside can help. You can see the flight attendant in the hatch window.
- KNOCK ON THE HATCH. The flight attendant will be glad to help.
How do I stop from falling and dying?
- You can't stop gravity, but maybe you can slow it down.
- You need to have gotten a parachute beforehand.
- PULL THE RIPCORD. (Don't bother counting to ten first. You don't have time.)
