Intro

Greetings traveler! So, you have chosen a journey of movie making? Many trials await you, many whimsical creatures will cross your path and sleepless night with no additional pay are upfront. So, no time to waste! You must complete all of the six trials to prove you are worthy of being called the Great Responsible-for-the-coffee-on-set one! The destiny awaits! Tally ho! And, be aware – if you see any actors, don’t look them in the eyes...

...and learned to love the Math

Find the number on a post on location. The number is a length in si system units - how long time duration of a movie (in full si system units) a reel with 35mm format film of that length would be? The movie would be 25 frames per second and each frame takes 19 mm of film. If the maximum water supply rate to some towns in third world countries during water shortages is 100 litres per day, how much water will be supplied with this rate during the previously calculated amount of time? Give answer in liters, up to third number after the comma.

Traveler, behold! A post! On it you see a number, the number is a length in si system units – how long time duration of a movie (in full si system units) a reel with 35mm format film of that length would be? The movie would be 25 frames per second and each frame takes 19 mm of film. The maximum water supply rate to some towns in third world countries during water shortages is 100 liters per day[1], how much water will be supplied with this rate during the previously calculated amount of time? Give answer in liters, up to third number after the comma.

A film is a sequence of still images shown in order to create an illusion of dynamic. Each still picture is called a frame. The speed at which the pictures are shown to viewer may vary but there are standard ones like 24 frames per second (or FPS), 25 FPS, 30 FPS and so on. For convenience of show, still pictures are not presented on separate sheets but, a while back, where recorded on a tape that was rolled in a reel. The reel was then rolled in front of a light source in the projector to present the movie to the audience.

There is a line of concrete posts. It has a gap. Go to the western most post of the gap and find the area of a biggest circle that can be inscribed in to this post's cross section area. How much percentage is the circle area of the whole post cross section area (write full percentage, no numbers after comma)? Add 1 to the percentage numerical value, and you will get one country's telephone code. Fill the country's name in to the second blank. Subtract 22 from the telephone code and fill the third blank. The fourth blank is filled by the material, that is displayed in the "Beavis and Butt-Head do America" official trailer (approximately 0m42s long) while a certain famous filming location is being made fun of.

On the wast plains of Dillweedia, the majestic herds of producers roam free. They can easily be frightened by the amulet of Excel. There is a line of concrete posts. It has a gap. Go to the western most post of the gap, find the area of a biggest circle that can be inscribed in to this post's cross section. What percentage is the circle area of the whole post cross section area (no numbers after comma)? Add 1 to the percentage numerical value, and you will get one country's telephone code. Fill the country's name in to the second blank. Subtract 22 from the telephone code and fill the third blank. The fourth blank is filled by the material, that is in the "Beavis and Butt-Head do America" official trailer (approximately 0m42s long) while a famous filming location is being made fun of.

Producer is a person on set, who is responsible for the whole production of the movie - deadlines, budgeting, promotion, personnel and so on... Excel is a software peace by Microsoft that is used for calculation, people do not like using it. I do, tho. What is producer responsible for?

Go to the lone pine tree near the line of the posts. How many posts will be in the frame of a camera with a APS-C sensor and focal length 22 mm lens, if it would be directed so the nearest post from the position of the pine tree would be in the center of the frame?

You ventured in to the middle of the Dillweedia plains, there is a lone pine tree – the Tree of Budget! As you can see, traveler, it could have been bigger… Near the tree is a line of the posts – remnants from ancient fortress of Backstagia. How many posts will be in the frame of a camera with a APS-C sensor and focal length 22 mm lens, if it would be directed so the nearest post from the position of The tree of Budget would be in the center of the frame?

^^

Dillweed is a curse word from Beavis and Butt-Head. Budget for movie is very important, it means how much money will you get to make your masterpiece! Backstage is a place in live performance that represents the space, that is not visible for the audience. You can take a nap there. The sensor size is a important factor for a camera, but theory is to log to describe here, google it or whatever... What type of three is the Tree of Budget?

You are standing near four electric boxes. Add together all the numbers (digit by digit) of their serial numbers - this will be "x". This number connects the movie, the triangle. If "x" represents percentage - fill in the first gap!
If "x" represent a particular year in 20'th century - what film would win the Cannes Palme d'Or at that year? Fill in the second gap!
If "x" is an angle in degrees in a triangle with two sides adjacent to the angle that are 4m and 7m long, how long will the third side be? fill in the third gap (leave only full meters)!

You are standing near four electric boxes – the ancient numerical inscription made by Gaffers of Tungstenia, before they where concurred by the order of the knights of the LED (Light Emission Diode). Add together all the numbers (digit by digit) of their serial numbers – this will be "x". This number connects the movie, the triangle. If "x" represents percentage – fill in the first gap! If "x" represent a particular year in 20'th century – what film would win the Cannes Palme d'Or at that year? Fill in the second gap! If "x" is an angle in degrees in a triangle with two sides adjacent to the angle that are 4m and 7m long, how long will the third side be? fill in the third gap (leave only full meters)!

^^

In the earlier days of the film, gaffers, the people who are responsible for light equipment operation on set, where using mostly tungsten lamps to light the scene. But the introduction of the light emission diode lights (or LED for short) replaced a part of the tungsten lights. But still, many gaffers prefer tundsten lights over LED’s because of their unique features.

On the movie set in 1987, actor Andre the Giant let out a 16-second fart that brought the entire production to a standstill.
In total silence, the director Rob Reiner asked - 'Are you OK, Andre?', and André replied: 'I am now, boss'!

On the side of the electric box, there is a blinking light... How many times will it blink during 16 seconds?
How many times will it blink in 1 minute? How many times will it blink if it is blinking during the time that is 20% longer than 3 minutes? 20% is the increase of woman work applicants if workplace flexibility is provided. Fill in the blanks!

You find a cylindrical thingy made of concrete. How many kilograms would one such cylinder weight if it would be made of glass, like a lens? The density of glass is 2500 kg/m³. If You divide the numerical value of density of the glass by 100 you will get the percent of 13 to 17 year old children in Florida who committed crime and were represented by attorney.

Traveler, You are near the tomb of the cinematographer Johnny. The legend says, he formatted all the memory cards from the 6 day shoot without coping them. Now he is sealed inside, feasting only on dry ramen... The door to the tomb is cylindrical and is made of concrete. How many kilograms would one such cylinder weight if it would be made of glass, like a lens? The density of glass is 2500 kg/m³. If You divide the numerical value of density of the glass by 100 you will get the percent of 13 to 17 year old children in Florida who committed crime and were represented by attorney.

Cinematographer is a person who does all the important things with a camera! Directing multiple cameras or doing it by themselves. If you format your cards and not get files from them prior - you will have a bad time, buddy.
