Ali was a 13-year-old boy. Video games meant everything to him. As soon as he woke up in the morning, he would sit in front of his computer, not even caring about school time. His mother warned him repeatedly:
"Ali, you’re wasting your time."
But every time, Ali would reply, "Mom, I’m too young, I have plenty of time."
Suddenly, he heard the sound of that old clock ticking in his room again. In an instant, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Then, a voice echoed around him:
"Ali, you are here because you wasted your time. If you want to return, you must answer five questions correctly. You have 10 minutes. If you fail even one, you will remain a green giant forever," it said.
Ali's heart started pounding rapidly. "No, I can’t do this! I’m just a kid!" he shouted, his eyes filling with tears. But the voice continued calmly:
"If you want to return, you must answer the questions correctly. Otherwise, you will remain a green giant forever."
Ali felt a deep sense of dread. Despite his panic, he knew he had to solve the questions quickly. If he wanted to return, he had to find the correct answers.
First Question:
"You went shopping at a grocery store. The total cost was 38 liras. You gave 50 liras. How much change will you get?"
Ali quickly thought and answered:
"12 liras!"
The voice responded, "Correct."
But Ali didn’t feel relieved. Time was slipping away, and despite getting the answer right, he still had four questions to go.
Second Question:
"Imagine an analog clock. The hour hand points to 10, and the minute hand points to 8. What time is it exactly?"
Ali quickly tried to calculate:
"10:40."
The voice said, "Correct."
But Ali grew even more anxious. His vision darkened further, and in a panic, he thought to himself, "Please, hurry!"
Third Question:
"It’s 7:50, and you have a meeting in 25 minutes. What time will the meeting start?"
Struggling to think clearly, Ali finally gave his answer:
"8:15."
The voice replied, "Correct."
Time continued to race by, and his green, monstrous body was drenched in sweat, making it harder for him to respond. Ali was growing more terrified with each passing second.
