Task 1 | Interstellar
Participants need to use sika paper, bamboo chopsticks, clips, marbles, straws, etc. to create a probe ship and track within 45 minutes. Five table tennis balls (stars) should be placed on tracks. After the contestants launch the probe boat, the boat needs to hit the stars to make them drop form track, while the probe ship needs to move forward. The more the distance of the probe ship moved, the higher the scores the contestants gained.

The characteristic of this level is that contestants cannot use tape to make any objects in the process. They must use clips and rubber bands and heavy objects like marbles to reach mechanical balance to complete the task.

Task 2 | Magical Melody
Participants should listen to music while reading number music notations and music scores to get the hints. Then, players determine the absolute position of triangle crystal and arrange the route to allow the crystals to reach the correct position in the fewest number of moving steps.

We hope players show their teamwork ability to assign the works, getting hints, solving the questions, designing the moving route, and moving the crystals efficiently. Players should apply their knowledge of music theory and melody recognition ability to get the correct hints. In addition, they have to use the inferential capability to optimize the route design.
