Clue 5
Fractions of a number — the last clue
The griefer dropped a pouch of lapis lazuli blocks. Let's calculate the fraction of blocks they lost to find the final clue.
First solve each problem. Then find each answer in the list below and cross that sentence out. One sentence will be left — that's exactly what the villain did!
Step 1 — solve these
1/5 of 15 = ?
5/10 of 22 = ?
3/6 of 14 = ?
2/8 of 4 = ?
5/6 of 12 = ?
2/6 of 6 = ?
1/3 of 18 = ?
1/5 of 25 = ?
1/3 of 24 = ?
2/4 of 18 = ?
2/6 of 36 = ?
Step 2 — cross out the sentence with each answer
1.The villain teleported onto the high temple roof using an ender pearl, then enchanted their diamond helmet with protection.
2.The villain teleported onto the high temple roof using an ender pearl, then brewed a splash potion of slowness to escape.
3.The villain soared through the sky wearing a pair of phantom wings, then drew a secret map of the base corridors.

5.The villain soared through the sky wearing a pair of phantom wings, then enchanted their diamond helmet with protection.
6.The villain bridged across the wide canyon at incredible speed, then enchanted their diamond helmet with protection.
7.The villain soared through the sky wearing a pair of phantom wings, then activated a complex redstone trap in the hallway.
8.The villain lit a massive stack of TNT next to the diamond vaults, then called a pack of tamed wolves to block the path.
9.The villain lit a massive stack of TNT next to the diamond vaults, then drew a secret map of the base corridors.
10.The villain lit a massive stack of TNT next to the diamond vaults, then enchanted their diamond helmet with protection.
11.The villain bridged across the wide canyon at incredible speed, then called a pack of tamed wolves to block the path.
