I am sorry to interrupt your training, but we at Math Spies Headquarters have an emergency.   The Math Spies Pool and Patio has been vandalized by a known criminal named Smudge.  Have you seen this person below?

If you have not completed the pool problem, go back and study that mission.  It contains valuable information to help you solve this crime.

Good luck, Recruit.
