Top Secret Mission Details

Sir Rexington Shrubringle Merlin, an interdimensional traveller in the service of Scotland Yard, requires your assistance. In a parallel universe, a group of terrorists has hijacked the British nuclear launch system. While the terrorists have been neutralised, the weapons remain primed for launch!

Fortunately, you have a chance to intervene. Sir Rexington Shrubringle Merlin needs you to locate vital clues concealed within the British Museum of your dimension.

Instructions:

You must locate eight objects scattered throughout the museum. If the answer to a clue is a word, take its first letter; if it is a number, record it as given (numbers may be more than one digit). Arranging these in the order of the questions will reveal the nuclear override code.

Once you have deciphered the code, report immediately to Sir Rexington Bushwinkle Arthur.

Good luck—you hold the fate of millions in your hands!
