Math Spies in London Mission 3 Introduction



As you walk around London, blend in with the crowd and observe.  We know that Colonel Chaos and Smudge and Sludge are still here.  You mission is to locate them and tail them.  Do not try to apprehend them.  Merely observe their habits and report to headquarters.


Each place you visit, you have a ten pound note to spend.  British prices look something like American prices except they have pounds and pence instead of dollars and cents.  There are 100 pence in a pound.
