Tooth, Load, Scramble


The Dragon’s Fire rollercoaster was shut down after a series of warning lights began flashing in the middle of opening day. The park manager worried he wouldn’t be able to find a technician able to work on it quickly. Luckily, Master Machinist Murphy was in HR applying for a position; getting the rollercoaster operational again became his interview.

Getting to work, he was able to find the initial cause of the problem: a bad tooth on an important cog. That had, unfortunately, caused loads on other parts of the system to exceed capacity. The whole lot looked like scrambled eggs.
