Introduction to Capture Col. Chaos

There are rumors that Col. Chaos is hiding out in the Tower of London.  This historic castle along the River Thames has served as a royal residence as well as a prison.  The officials and tour guides are posted at the entrances and exits to make sure he doesn't escape this time.  He may even try to walk off with some of the Crown Jewels.  Proceed to the Tower of London.

Capture Col. Chaos

Greetings, Math Spy!
