Free the diver using quadratic equations
A diver is trapped inside the wreck. Oxygen is running low: cross three compartments and solve the equations that control their locks to bring them back to the surface.
The harbor lights reflect on the water. The diver surfaces, safe and sound: three gates, three equations, a single way out calculated step by step.

The flashlight beam sweeps over the rusted instruments beyond the inner porthole. The hatch is governed by a two-equation panel: solve both to work out the four-digit code.
The control panel is still running on emergency batteries: dim lights, flickering indicators. Reactivating the link to the surface requires a new code, hidden in two equations.
The last door is the sturdiest of all. The mechanism isn't written in the usual form yet: before you can solve it, you'll need to rearrange the equation, moving all terms to the left of the equals sign.
