Z Cube Challenge – Find a cure for Chemical Z!

CHEMICAL Z UPDATE

Chemical Z has been wreaking havoc through the streets of Eyewire for almost a week now.  It’s been insanity!  At HQ everyone’s been furiously arguing over whether to get take-out from Chipoltbrains or Au Bon Brains, and someone drank half of rprentki’s diet brain juice before putting it back in the fridge!

“You can’t really find diet brains at MIT so I had to travel all the way across town just to get that stuff!  From now on I’m going to drool into my brain juice when I drink it, hope you like that brain stealer!” -rprentki

But despite the reigning chaos, we believe we may be on our way to finding a cure for Chemical Z!  Now we need your help:

Eyewire HQ has identified the neuron-type targeted by Chemical Z.  We are providing you will a model of a neuron that has suffered damage from Chemical Z.  If you can help us to repair the damaged sections of this neuron, we may be well on our way to becoming Z-free!

You have From Friday October 24th at 11 am EDT to Tuesday October 28th at 11 am EDT to find a cure!  After that it will most certainly be too late!  Hurry hurry!  (But don’t hurry too quickly, accurate repair is most important here.)

Steps to take:

  1. Locate the cell called “Z Cubes” by clicking the “Change Cell” button
  2. Complete all 10 sections destroyed by Chemical Z
  3. HQ will look at your work and let you know if you were able to create an antidote

***DON’T skip cubes!  You can not return to a cube if you skip it!

GET REWARDED

Because we are so invested in curing the damage inflicted by Chemical Z, HQ is giving out some big rewards for whoever does the best job repairing this cell.  The person who is the most precise will get 6,000 points, and the 2nd and 3rd most accurate people will receive 4,000 and 2,000 points respectively.  As this may be a dangerous mission, we are also giving out 1,000 points to everyone who participates.

There’s also the reward of, you know, not turning into an undead brain-addict.

Go forth and and use that fantastic, delicious brain of your to find a cure before it’s too late!
