On the Subject of Albuquerque

Well, to cut a long story short, he got away with my snorkel. But I made a solemn vow right then and there that I would not rest — I would not sleep for an instant — until the one-nostrilled man was brought to justice.
But first, I decided to buy some donuts.

Miracle Machine and Donut Guy are trapped in a time loop, and the module will solve once they both escape. To solve the module, identify all of the temporal anomalies, and press the red button on the bottom-right of the TV to give Miracle Machine or Donut guy timed nudges.

Select the TV to play one iteration of the loop. Miracle Machine will drive to Donut Guy's donut shop, and they will have a back-and-forth conversation, listing donut names. Below is an example.

• “You got any cinnamon rolls?”
• “No, we're outta glazed donuts.”
• “You got any glazed donuts?”
• “No, we're outta bear claws.”
• “You got any Bavarian cream-filled donuts?”
• “No, we're outta bear claws.”

Miracle Machine and Donut Guy will mention three donut names each. Convert each of these donut types into a number from 0-5:

Glazed donuts	0		Jelly donuts	1
Bavarian cream- filled donuts	2		Cinnamon rolls	3
Apple fritters	4		Bear claws	5

Group each “You got any… / No, we're outta…” into a pair — name these three pairs A, B and C. This manual will refer to the “You got any…”s as the Ys, and the “No, we're outta…”s as the Ns.

For each Y and N in A, B and C, find its corresponding edgework calculation in the table on the next page, and add the result to its donut value. If any of the Ys and Ns are now above 5, subtract 6 from them until they're between 0 and 5.

	A	B	C
Y	Number of batteries + Last digit of serial number	Last digit of serial number + Number of ports	Number of ports + Number of unlit indicators
N	Number of unlit indicators + Number of port plates	Number of port plates + First digit of serial number	First digit of serial number + Number of batteries

Using Y and N as row and column respectively, plot A, B and C in the table below.

	0	1	2	3	4	5
0
1
2
3
4
5

• If any of A, B and C were plotted on one of the marked cells, it contains the temporal anomaly.
• Otherwise, the temporal anomaly is the cell which is not adjacent to the other two plotted cells, either horizontally or diagonally.

Take the sum of the Y and N values of the temporal anomaly. When the TV is showing the anomaly:

• If the sum is odd, nudge Miracle Machine.
• Otherwise, nudge Donut Guy.

Successful nudges will allow the loop to continue, with Miracle Machine and Donut Guy listing three more donut names each. Repeat the instructions above two more times to solve the module.

Mistimed nudges will result in Miracle Machine and Donut Guy's deaths, and the module will strike.

Oh yeah, and you can select the TV during playback to skip forwards.
