Your cousin is coming into town to stay with you for a couple days. The two of you have always been competitive, and as you look around your house, you realize if he gets a look at this place as it stands, you'll never hear the end of it. Here's your "to do" list. You have $time minutes to get it all done. You can track your time in the upper right corner. You'll have to be efficient and couple a few things together in order to make the deadline, or you'll suffer a lifetime of ridicule from your cousin. You will spend a bit of time just getting started on some tasks, and the times below are estimates - tasks may take a little longer than planned. What do you want to do first? - [[dishes]] (20 min) - [[mow]] (40 min) - [[clean]] (30 min) - [[shower]] (20 min) - [[check things out first]]

<div align="right">You have $time minutes remaining.</div> <div><B><Center>Get the Job Done!</Center></B></div> You run out to the garage to get the mower. <<if $hasgas is false>> After a couple of vigorous pulls, you work up a bit of a sweat, and you realize it's not going to start. You open the cap and see that it's out of gas. There's no gas in the can. It took you 5 minutes to do this.<<set $time to $time - 5>> You'll have to [[go get gas|go to the store]] (about 10 minutes)<<set $fromgas to true>><<set $fromdishes to false>>, or you can do [[something else]] in the mean time. <<elseif $hasgas is true>>You pour your gasoline into the mower and in a single pull, it roars to life!

<<set $time to $time -20>> <div align="right">You have $time minutes remaining.</div> <div><B><Center>Get the Job Done!</Center></B></div> You run to the bathroom and jump in the shower, washing off the dirt and grit of the day. <<if $mow is true>> <<set $shower to true>> Get moving on [[something else]]. <<elseif $mow is false>> You realize, after you're all clean, that it's a sweltering 95 degrees outside, and you haven't mowed the lawn yet! You'll have to shower again after you're done with that. You wasted 20 minutes! Better get crackin' on [[something else]]! <</if>>

<div align="right">You have $time minutes remaining.</div> <div><B><Center>Get the Job Done!</Center></B></div> <<set $checkahead to true>> You go to the kitchen and see that there's no dish soap, so you put that on a list. There are plenty of cleaning supplies, and a trip to the bathroom shows that you have soap, shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream and toothpaste. When you go to the garage, however, you see that there's no gas for the mower. You'll need gas and dish soap to get everything done. You've spent about 5 minutes checking things out.<<set $time to $time - 5>> Do you want to [[go to the store]] (10 minutes) or get working on [[something else]]?
