INTRODUCTION
It is the year 2030. Famous works of art have been disappearing
from collections around the world for the past 27 years without a trace. You
are an investigator for the insurance company, Art Worth, which has been trying
to recover them for years.
A wealthy art lover, Constance Brushwork, has recently
passed away and among her papers was found a poster that seems to be a
montage of the missing
artworks! The poster has a diagram that designates a number to each piece of
the montage - 100 in all. A letter was also found that states that the
masterpieces are in an enormous electronic vault carved into the side of a
mountain that can only be opened by entering the montage piece numbers, artists,
and artworks.
TASK
Art Worth has a list of the masterpieces stolen over the years along with the
artists who created them. You and your colleagues must now take that
information and identify which piece of the montage the artwork is and from
where it was stolen. Only then can you open the vault and return the
masterpieces to their rightful owners!

You and your fellow investigators will each be assigned one
missing masterpiece. |
