KCP-201 - "The Impossible Well"

Object Class
Euclid

Description
KCP-201 is a weird well, with two separate chambers, one for water and one for a collection of objects.

This object was discovered by the KCP team in a cave on the island of Hawaii, just off the coast of the Big Island.

The object is very old, and is covered in fungus and mold. The objects in the chamber are very interesting, and include a metal box, a glass vial, and a wooden box. While you may not find the box or the vial of interest, the wooden box does contain an object of interest. It's an ancient book, which was written in a language no one can read, but it contains a map.

The well contains a large maze filled with water, the water is a mixture of salt and salt-water. The maze is filled with a strange liquid that changes color with depth, if you go too deep it will kill you. The map of the maze shows the exit to the well, but you must find a way to get to it. There are four doors that lead to the surface. The fourth door has a key that opens the maze and releases the water from the well. '''A person can enter the maze, but can never be sure to find the exit.'''

''Addendum 001-a: A book was found in the deep, dark well of the Impossible well. The pages were yellowed with age, and when the light hit them they were opaque. A great deal of writing was evident on the pages, but the majority of it was unreadable.''

The text on these pages are as follows
''"This is the history of the Great War. I was there. I saw the first battle. The Second Battle was worse than the First. We won. But the Third Battle was even worse. We lost. Then we lost again. And again. This is the story of our defeat."

"This object is a work of fiction. any resemblance to actual events or locales is purely coincidental, and any similarities to people, living or dead, is entirely intentional."''

Test 001-a: A fish was placed in the well, and after a certain amount of time the fish died. How much time did it take for the fish to die?

Solution: Since the fish is dead already, there is no way for it to survive for any amount of time.

Note: The test is a subset of the test that tests the ability to find an unknown number of unknowns with the help of a known constant.
