Description

It seems that Victor has been leading Andrea astray on the way to the barbeque. They have been walking for hours and seem to be lost. Fortunately, Maths Crimes Detective Al Gebra uses the map to show them a shortcut that gets them back on the straight and narrow with plenty of time to get to the barbeque.
