Super spy extraordinaire Pedro Vex is in deep trouble. During what was supposed to be a covert operation, he’s just walked into a room full of underpaid henchmen ready to take him down. It’s a set-up! Pedro stands in the doorway and prepares to fight. He quickly takes a mental inventory of the position of the henchmen, their weapons and any visual weaknesses. He also wonders how a spy of his caliber can fall into such a trap. He only has seconds before battle, these are his split second observations. Can you determine the position of each idiot in the room, their weakness and their weapon?
