"To Be Continued..." Chapter 4 Launched!

1/11/2022

[11 Jan] In Chapter 4, two of our young heroes, Hinson and Chi-yin had a seperate journey from Bong. These two boys stayed in the Underwater Palace as guests but to their surprise, the mermen had another plan! They were trapped in a cell and could only use their wisdom to win back their freedom from a tricky and maths-minded creature - The Octopus, which was guarding them. Could they free themselves and how did they manage to do it? And the dice last time predicted that there should be a new member to their team. So, who might that be? Watch the animated clip again here:

The dice this time predict the following: old man, reunion, poetry, double, secret, wisdom

Bong is completely missing in this chapter. Will the two paths converge into one again? Stay tuned and this story is "To Be Continued"...

Now boys, question time. Here are two thoughtful questions for you. Feel free to answer one or both of them:

1. How would you describe the character of the Octopus? Why do you think it was assigned this job to guard the prisoners?
2. Did the merboy harm the heroes at first and then help them? What was going on in the mind of the merboy?

I think that the Octopus is placed as a guard because his boss thinks that he is the only one that knows the Famous "Octo-question ", and the Octopus should have forgotten, that he should kill the prisoners if they didn't answer the question, and even though they did, he shouldn't do anything, and that is a bit funny to an Octopus!

I think that the octopus is not too dumb or smart a little in the middle.I think he was assigned of this job is that he remembers one famous question from the sea king and asked the prisoners to answer the question correctly if done incorrectly the prisoner will be held in solitary confinement but the sea king thought he would just forget it but he doesn't in fact remembers it clearly.It is actually really funny if you ask me.

I think the octopus 🐙 is stupid because he free the heroes just by a question and I think he added the poison into the food

1.The Octopus was smart but pride because it can ask hard question. I think it was assigned this job to guide the prisoners because it was smart so that the prisoners can't escape. 2.The merboy didn't harm them because the octopus said the leader of mermen want their technological knowledge. The merboy wanted to discover the world so he followed Hinson and Chi-Yin.

I think the octopus was not so clever and I don’t like it.
I think the merboy exchange with Bong .

Duncan Chan

I think the octopus is a bit clever but it is mostly stupid,because at the first place it shouldn't let the heroes go just by asking a question,and also it was too concentrated by the question that the heroes asked that it trapped itself in the prison! I think that just because the boss of the octopus had thought it has eight long tentacles,it can catch sneaky prisoners that are escaping with its tentacles and I personally think that the octopus was the cleverest creature there,so that's my explanation.Question two, I think the merboy was tricking them at the first place,but afterwards the heroes encouraged the merboy to help the heroes so it jump in the portal with them,and I think the merboy replaced Bong because Bong is nowhere to be seen.

I think the octopus is stupid because it can’t even see the robot came in to the cell.I think it was assigned to be the guard of prisoner because it know a very hard question

I think the octopus was not so clever because he had no idea he had been locked in the prison.

Adam Chan 4A07

Q1
I think the octopus is compliance with commitments.Because when Chi-Yin and Hinson answered correctly, he opened the prison door to let them go.Also,the octopus can concentrate well.Because when the octopus was thinking about the question Chi-Yin gave him, the octopus was to concentrated and didn’t know he was locked in the cell.

4C20 Cyrus Tso

for Q2. I think that the merboy put some poisonous stuff or potion into the meal, then why else would he ask Hinson and Chi-yin to eat the food and they just blackout and end up behind bars, and after that, the merboy saved them, which he was just trying to hide the evidence that he is working on the octopus`s side

4C20 Cyrus Tso

Sorry. Left a fullstop at the end.

Ethan lai 4B09

I think the octopus is not cleve because if he’s smart he should solve the problem that Hinson.And I think the merboy trapped the two heros
And want to get there technically so I think the merboy is harming them.

李昱贤

I agree You , 4B Ethan Lai ,
I think the octopus is stupid, his question was easy , and he cannot solve hinson question

1. I personally think that the Octopus in the chapter has an arrogant character but also is very clever although it was still outwitted in the end. I think it was placed there to guard Chi-yin and Hinson by the Old Wise Man to test their intelligence and prepare them for the various hard challenges that await them in the future.
2. I think the merboy was possessed by Guawa at one point and put an otherwise lethal poison in their food in order to assassinate the two heroes, but the poison didn’t work and merely gave them a bad stomachache. Afterwards, the merboy regretted his actions and decided to join them in their quest, also seeing the vast world.

Max Yau 4B 28

1/14/2022 09:33:18 am

Q1: I think that the octopus is being a guard as it knows a difficult question but it is also stupid as it didn’t know that it was locked into the prison.However,it also showed that he has interest in math so that he wouldn’t know that he was locked up.
Q2: I think that the merman will join with Bong,Chi-yin and Hinson as he can call out his family,friends etc to fight with Gawa.

Jayden Yeung 4C(26)

1. I think the octopus is clever but treacherous. It is because it can ask the famous "Octo-question" that puzzled a lot of mermen.
2. I think the merboy harm the heroes at first and then help them. It is because the merboy tell Hinson and Chi-yin to eat the food first ,then the two heroes felt something odd happening to their stomach. Soon after , their visions went blurry. After that , Hinson and Chi-yin found they were locked up. At last , the robot tell them that you cannot use it underwater . At this moment , the merboy came with a snooker ball and cover them so they can use the portal underwater. Maybe the merboy conscience found, so it wanted to help the heroes, therefore it dove into the portal too.

Q1: I think the octopus is absolutely cunning.Because it let the heroes go just by asking a easy question, also it thinks that it was smart just by asking a stupid question.When the heros asked it a hard question,it thinked so hard by the question that the heroes asked and accidentally trapped itself in a prison.I think the reason the boss had invited the octopus to be a guard is because the boss didn’t have enough guards watching the prisoners.The octopus had really long hands,and it should extand its hand through the gap of the prision to catch the heros while they are trying to escape.Why the octopus would make a foolish move?

4E02 Nathan Chan

1/14/2022 09:44:35 am

I think the octopus was a little bit smart,but he was mostly dumb and stupid because the octopus can’t even see the robot getting in the cell,letting the prisoners go easily and he couldn’t even notice he was being locked up by Chi-Yin.

4A19 Marcus Mak

1/14/2022 09:49:50 am

I will describe the octopus as clever because he knows how to solve the famous octo-question and the prison boss wants him to guard them because he thinks that the octopus can find a good way to guard them but the octopus failed.

4B04 Cheng Paak Him

1/14/2022 09:58:31 am

I think the octopus was not clever because it went inside the cell without itself knowing when it was solving the pyramid of numbers.

Jayden Tang

1/14/2022 10:01:35 am

1.I think the octopus is stupid because it made a big mistake by asking Hinson and Chi-Yin an easy question and letting them out. I think its boss thought humans are dumb so it put the weakest guard to guard them. 2.I think the merboy wanted to test their intelligence so he gave poisonous food to the two heroes and took them to the octopuses. After the merboy saw how smart the heroes were, he helped them get out of the palace and joined them on their adventure.

Bryceton Mo

1/14/2022 10:04:47 am

I think that the octopus is dumb, as it ran into the jail cell while trying to think of the answer that Hinson gave to it.

Joshua Wong

1/14/2022 10:06:11 am

I think that the Octopus is placed as a guard because Octopuses are good at regrow.They have a perfect and nature back up system.

Ng Man Him

1/14/2022 10:10:36 am

1. I think the octopus's arrogant ,as he mocked at the heroes .He's assigned to guard the prison because his face's to terrifying ,no one dared to escape.
2. I think the merboy didn't harm them .What he said was to let the boys don't worry ,but he didn't expect the king and the octopus to trick them ,so he rescued the heroes with the magnificent pearl.

CHING CHUN

1/14/2022 10:10:51 am

I think that the octopus is very sily because he just let the prisoners go with a question . It is the guard because the Merman King assinned him to do.The Merman King had no idea how dumb the octopus is. I think that the merboy did harm the heroes but he was just doing the Merman King's orders. Then he thought that the Merman King never told him not to join the the heroes so he joined them.

Ng Ho Him

1/14/2022 10:11:03 am

1.I think the octopus was bad-mannered,as it laughed at the boys.I think it was assigned the job because its brainpower is ten times than humans.
2.I think the merboy didn't harm them.I think he just want to help the boys to defeat Guawa.

Jayden Chan4E01

1/14/2022 10:14:22 am

I think that the Octopus is a clever octopus because it knows a lot of math questions but it was overwhelmed by the two.I think it was assigned to be a guard is because it knows the famous”Octo-Question”and the prisoners will challenge it but will soon fail and forced to give the things that it’s boss wants.

Gary Ng4E20

1/14/2022 10:23:11 am

I think the octopus was stupid ,because he went into the cell when it was thinking the Maths problems.

Ben Wong 4C25

1/14/2022 10:23:28 am

Q1.I think the octopus is a stupid octopus,because it dropped its key after the boys solve the question.The mermaid king wanted the octopus to be the guard because it the octopus is fierce.

Q2 I think the merboy helped them at first but he put something like poison into their meal so they will be fainted and he can get the tegnology from the three heros.

HaytonLi4D16

I don't like the octopus because it doesn't except failure

Max Chan

1/14/2022 10:36:38 am

I think he is very proud, maybe he was sent here to work, because he wanted to come out, and he had to go through his problems.

Aldon So 4A

1/14/2022 10:40:21 am

Q1.I think that the octopus is a rather clever creature because put aside the “Octo-question” ,it probably knows much more math questions. But it is still tremendously prideful and arrogant. (Still, when the octopus said “yes” and agreed to Hinson’s “number pyramid” challenge, we should follow in its steps of determination.)I think that maybe the pendant has a sort of magical power, and maybe the person who ordered the octopus to guard the boys was counting on the octopus figure out how to activate it and perhaps sedate the boys if they got the “Octo-question” wrong. Maybe the octopus was laughing because he figured out how to unlock the pendant’s magic. Fortunately, the robot was faster than his laughing.

Q2. I think that when the merboy put the sedative in Chi-yin and Hinson’s food, he was planning to help them all along. Maybe the sedative was just a time gap to help him think about the million-dollar question: should he help the boys? Maybe the merboy was fascinated about the hula hoop portal, the dice, and the robot. Or, he had been on quests to defeat Gauwa and knew that they would never succeed without his help, so he jumped into the portal with them.

4C28CoryYip

I think the octopus is stupid,because he dropped the key and didn’t notice it.
I think the merboy is going to help Hinson and Chi-yin to find Bong.

Anders Kan 4C

1.The Octopus was very stupid so the boss let it to have a chance to guard the prisoners. 2.The merboy did not harm the heroes at first but helped them to escape the prison. The merboy wanted to join the adventure with the heroes.

I feel the octopus is self-righteous and ugly. i don't like it.

Mason Yuen4B30

I do not like the octopus despise the two boys but it cannot unravel the question from the two boys and it is dumb that he go inside the jail lock itself the jail.

Jason Chow 4C

1/14/2022 10:54:13 am

Q1.I personally think that part of the Octopus is smart , but more than a half of it is stupid,stubborn,and dumb. It was assigned the job to guard the prisoners , is just because he knows that famous Octo question ,and none of the merman could answer the question. But it can't even answer Hinson's basic sequel question, how sily !

Marcel Tsim4D24

1/14/2022 10:56:51 am

1.I think the octopus is an arrogant character, for said his brainpower was very high. I think it was told by the Mermen King to guard the boys because only he knew the answer to the Octo-Question, fortunately answered by Chi-yin. But I think he was stupid as he went into the jail cell without noticing.
2. I think the merman boy was hypnotized by Guawa at one point which made him cook up supposedly poisonous. After the two heroes were released he must have felt very guilty and regretted his actions. Therefore, he decided to help them by using that pearl.

Q2.I personally think that the merboy first harmed them by taking them to the underwater palace, then imprisoned them , then he wanted to help them because , he was interested at their adventure , and decided to help them, not harming them anymore.

Ayden Wong

1/14/2022 10:59:06 am

I don't think the octopus is very clever because it shouldn't let the heros go just by answering a question.
Second I think it's too concentrate because when the octopus is thinking the challenge that Hnson gave him ,it walked around the room but didn't find out that it had walked into the prison cell.

Terry Wong 4C21

1/14/2022 11:02:06 am

I think the octopus is evil. It is because the octopus put Hinson and Chi-yin in the metal bar room and gave the heroes a extraordinarily hard question to solve. The octopus has this job because the prisoners are scared of it so that they will not escape easily.

4A 16 Lee Hoo Fung

1/14/2022 11:12:46 am

2. I think the merboy didn't hurt them. When they eat, the merboy went away to sleep, then the octopus came and catch them.

4B03 Darren Chen

1/14/2022 11:23:05 am

1. I think the Octopus's self-esteem is too high as it thinks no one can answer its "Octo-question". Mermen King also has same thought that no one can solve this question so it assigned Octopus as a guard of the prisoners.

2. I think merboy didn't help them, he pretended to help the heroes and followed them because he wanted to know what's their next plan & tried to stop them.

4D 31 Yau Cheuk Yuen

1/14/2022 11:39:00 am

I think the Merboy was innocent and didn’t know the food has poison at first. But he admired the two boys as heroes and helped them to leave the place. He finally joined the hero’s team.

4A30 Golden Wu

1/14/2022 11:41:11 am

I think the octopus is a bit smart because he knows the ‘octo question’ but a bit not smart because he can’t solve out Hinson’s question. The merboy didn’t harm the heros.He doesn’t know that their food is poisinous to humans and the mermen wanted the heros’ technology, so the merboy must harm them to get their technology.

Preston Sze 4D

1/14/2022 11:45:58 am

For the first question, I think the Octopus is foolish and arrogant. It is because it said its brainpower is ten times of the two heroes. However, it did not know that the robot helped Chi-yin to answer the 'Octo-question'. Afterwards, Hinson gave a question to the Octopus but it could not answer properly. It even did not realize itself walking into the cell and then Chi-yin got a chance to lock it up. For the second question, I think the merboy set a trap to harm the two heroes as he told them to finish their meal. The two heroes fainted suddenly. Therefore, I believe the merboy adding stun drug in the food. The merboy should be jealous to the two heroes' power. Finally, he considered about the previous rescue from two heroes , so he decided to assist the boys as a token of gratitude.

Eden Sze

1/14/2022 11:55:19 am

The octopus is a smart but conceited being and I think he is the guard because the mermen thought the question could trick all kinds of prisoners. Also, I think the merboy is secretly the missing teammate and secretly helping them along the way.

FOK SIU HEI

I think the octopus its half smart,half careless,evil and ugly I really hate it.

Jayvas Wong

1/14/2022 11:58:28 am

1. I think the octopus is rude as its boss thought. The octopus’s boss thought it is responsible to be a guard.
2. I think the merboy is harming Chi-yin and Hinson because he was following the leader’s instructions to harm them.

4D13OceanLeung

1/14/2022 11:58:38 am

1.I think the octopus is arrogant,and I think he was the guard to guard the heros, because he says he has high knowledge.

4E03 Angus Chan

1/14/2022 12:04:26 pm

1.I think the octopus is dumb as it ran into the cell to think the question that Hinson gave him , without knowing itself was trapped by Chi-yin.
2.I think the merboy didn’t know the meal was been poisoned by someone.At last , the merboy helped them to leave the palace.

Marcus Lok 4C 16

1/14/2022 12:12:00 pm

I think the octopus is a bit clever but it is extremely arrogant because he thought that he was very smart after giving the Octo-question to the three heroes.However,when it was doing Hinson’s question,he didn’t know how to do it at all.

LOUIS TO 4A 27

1/14/2022 12:16:07 pm

I think that the octopus a boss because he thinks that only one guy know the Famous 'Octo question' and the one guy who knows the question is him.However, Chi Yin answered the question correctly, and Hinson asked the octopus a math question and the octopus couldn't answer it , so Hinson looked the octopus in the jail.

4E16 Kintus Lee

1/14/2022 12:16:52 pm

The octopus was placed as a gard because the leader of the sea think he is smart , but I think he is a little but stupid, because he can’t answer Hinson’s question.

Jaden Leung 4E33

1/14/2022 12:20:51 pm

1. The character of Octopus is arrogant because he thinks that his brain is ten times of Hinson and Chi-yin. The Octopus was assigned this job because he had eight legs to guard the prisoners.

2. No, the merboy did not harm them at first. However, the merboy is a "planner". He is waiting for a chance to steal their "found items".

Oliver Cheung 4B06

Cyrus Chan 4A 4

1/14/2022 12:55:23 pm

I think the octopus is arrogant and stupid, first he think that everybody don't know the question that he asked. Second, if I were the the octopus, even he got the right answer I still won't let them go, because it's catch them and you let them go so that means nothing!

4D01 Samson Chan

I think the octopus is so brag that it didn’t even notice that the mini robot get into the prison.I think the octopus boss put him in change is because it think that human are dumb that the human can’t solve the questions

Brayden Fung

I think the octopus is very dumb because when it is solving the challenge he went into the cage himself .

LincolnPowell4E22

1/14/2022 02:20:07 pm

1 I think the octopus was assigned to the job because his boss thought
that the heroes were dumb, so the boss sent the most incapable octopus to guard the heroes. Also, I think the octopus put chloroform in the food that the heroes were eating. 2 I think the merboy didn’t harm the the heroes at all, and that he was surprised that the heroes fell asleep.

philip

1/14/2022 03:06:06 pm

1.I think the octopus is stupid,because he didn't found he had trap into the gate.
2.The merboy did not want to harm the heroes at first it was the merman king want to take the advanced technology from the robot.

4D14 Harris Leung

1/14/2022 03:48:25 pm

Q1: The Octopus was an arrogant and overconfidence creature. It was assigned to be the guard because it had eight tentacles, so it could catch the prisoners easily if they escaped.

Q2: Yes, the merboy poisoned the heroes at first and then helped them. I think the king forced the merboy to poison the heroes, then he got conscience for what he had done, so he helped the heroes to escape from the Underwater Palace.

Owen CHIANG

1/14/2022 03:49:06 pm

I think the octopus was clumsy because it didn’t mention that it fell the key on the ground and fell into Hinson’s trap to let them escape from the metal bars.

4D27 Harold Wong

1/14/2022 04:25:31 pm

1.I think the octopus is tricky and stupid, because he add some poisonous medicine, but he released Hinson and Chi-yin just by one question.2. The merboy didn’t harm them, but I think the merboy thought he follow them can earn money

4A20_ Mo Ting Lung

1/14/2022 04:46:07 pm

Q1. I would describe the octopus is too impulsive and a bit arrogant because it took Hinson’s challenge easily and grinned.I think Guawa let the octopus to give poisonous food to Hinson and Chi-yin and guard them.

Alex Shiu 4D 20

1/14/2022 04:48:53 pm

I think the octopus it’s stupid because it has no responsibility to answer those questions.
I think the octopus is a guard because the king of mermaid think it is too stupid to do something just need to use a brain.
The mermaid boy harmed The hero because it think he is here to attack them. But it stop harming the heroes because it realized that the heroes is not here to attack them so the mermaid boy helped them.

DamonLee4B11

1/14/2022 05:26:12 pm

I think the octopus is a stupid octopus because he think he is the most brilliant but chi yin give it a question ,and he can’t answer it.

King

1/14/2022 05:43:04 pm

Yes, the octopus was stupid.

Mok Yui To

1/14/2022 06:07:32 pm

i think the octopus is dumb because it freed the three heroes just by a stupid question.

CHACE YUEN

1/14/2022 08:20:48 pm

I think the octupus is very stupid. It is because he frees the two heroes by only 1 math question , but he couldnt answer hinson's math question .

4D02 chan chun kui

1/14/2022 08:48:44 pm

I think the octopus is very clever because its brainpower is 10 times of Chi-yin and Hinson.

Chan Pui Ko

1/14/2022 08:51:03 pm

I think the octopus is very stupid because he freed the heroes just by a question and he couldn’t solve Hinson’s question.And l think he was assigned to be a guard because the boss thought the octopus is smart.

Anson Wong

1/14/2022 09:17:56 pm

I think octopus is stupid because it only thought how to solve the math question but it did not notice the gate was closing.

Sylvester Chan 4E(05)

1/14/2022 09:34:40 pm

1. 1.I think the octopus is quite impulsive,but he is very concentrate.It is because he didn't even notice that his dropped and was locked behind the bars when he was concentrating on solving the math problem.(l would rather have eight heads than eight feet.)(Hinson cheated!)

1.2.l think the king asked the the(stupid)octopus to guard the prisoners because (he thought) octopus would concentrates on guarding them.

2.1.I think it is because the merboy wanted to take the fourth sacred item back.

4B14 Arthur Li

1/14/2022 09:47:58 pm

I think it was assigned because it is smart and speedy. If the prisoners escape it can squeeze thought small openings and can change its body color to follow the prisoners. Also, it has a top swimming speed of 40 km/h so it can catch the prisoners when they escape. It can suck water into its mantle cavities and then squeezes it out of a tube at the front of its mantles to catch the prisoners.

4C08 Nathan hui

1/14/2022 10:10:44 pm

I think the octopus is clumsy because it should not agree to let Hinson and Chi-yin out of the prison when they answer the question correctly, and trap itself in the prison cell accidentally. Octopus assigns to guard the prisoner with it beaked mouth, it can exhale the ink when the prisoner escape from the prison cell.

1.I think the octopus is arrogant and stupid, because he said his brain is ten times bigger then the heroes. Yet, he goes inside the prison himself and got locked up, and still thinking why the heroes could solve the ‘Octo-question’. The octopus was assigned the job to guard the prisoners because he has eight tentacles to catch the heroes from escaping.
2.Yes,I suspect the merboy was the one who added the poison to the food to make them sleep. Later he helped them escape the maze by using a bubble.I think that the merboy was trying to get something from the heroes.

1.The Octopus is an arrogant and impulsive creature,because it thinks Chi-Yin and Hinson are stupid and it thinks that it is cleverer than anyone else. The Octopus is also clever but in some points,it is a bit stupid, as it knows the the Octo-question which can puzzle a lot of mermen ,however,it sets the two boys free which is an irreversible fault.Maybe the Octopus boss thinks the Octopus 🐙 is clever enough and trustworthy to guard such important prisoners.

2. Yes, he did.The merboy followed his boss's order and drugged these two boys at first, later, the merboy might think that the quest of the 2 boys was meaningful, so the merboy decided to join in their quest to find the ways of defeating Guawa.

1.I think the octopus is stupid.Because it just ask a question and let them out.And the octopus is stupid because is walk to the prison by itself.
2.The mermen didn’t harm the heros.Because it is not the mermen want to know are the people clever,it’s the octopus want to know.

I think the octopus is stupid as it dropped the key onto the floor for being so impatient. I think it is because the sea king wanted to lock them up and take away their technology by using the octopus intelligent brain.

I think the octopus was not dumb, because it even dropped it’s key and didn’t notice it.

1.I think the octopus is smart but careless and arrogant because he can think about the octo-question and it thinks that it is more clever than everyone. He also went into the prison cell carelessly as he was thinking the answer of the pyramid question. His boss told the octopus to guard the heroes because the octopus is the most fierce guard and the most clever guard among all the guards.
2.I think the merboy did harm the heroes because he wanted to go on an adventure and go over the world. But the merboy think himself is dump so he put poison liquid into the heroes' food and make the heroes in danger and save the heroes to let the heroes think he is not dumb.

gave him.

1.I think the octopus was smart but not as smart as the heroes and I think the octopus was impulsive too.The octopus was assigned to this
job was because it has eight hands so if the heroes escaped，the octopus could catch them easily.
2.Yes，because the merboy added poison in food at first but he helped the heroes came out the prison later.

Question 1
I think the Octopus is clever as a dophin. It knows the popular and difficult "Octo-question". It thinks Maths is as easy as ABC.
I think the Octopus is obedient because it follows its boss instructions to guard Hinson and Chi-yin carefully. It puts the key on his neck to safeguard the prison.
But i think it is too arrogant. Although it is smart, it can't answer the question from Hinson and it is being locked in the prison cell. It is such a careless guard as it don't know the key fell no the floor.

Question 2
I think the merboy harmed the heroes as he keep asking them to eat the food. But they are fainted finally.
The merboy is kind enough and give some hints to Chi-yin and Hinson to find the way to kill Gauwa.

Q1.I think the octopus is an arrogant , his brainpower was very low. But Hinson and Chi-yin was stupid too, so they need the robot to tell them.
Q2. I think the merboy was hypnotized by the octopus at one point which made him cook up dirty food. And then the merboy felt shamed so helped them to get away the maze.

Q1. I think that the Octopus is evil and immoral. He laughed at the two heroes of their ignorance and locked them without any reason. Moreover, the Octopus is dumb that it just let the 'prisoner' out because they solved an easy math question. However, it got stucked with the pyramid question and it did not even notice that itself had got into the jail. At last, it is intriguing that the Octopus was assigned as the guard. How come his boss can employ such arrogant and careless, asinine Octopus as the guard? It just rely on a single 'Octo-question' to keep 'prisoner' there.
Q2. For the second question, I think that the merboy had harm them ,or else he would not urge them to eat faster. He should put some poisonous in the meal! For why the merboy had followed the two heroes, he may be a minister of Gauwa and tell Gauwa about the sacred items that the heroes found, and let him to have some preparation to defeat the three heroes.

Q1
I think the octopus isn’t clever enough to be a prison guard, though he has a tricky question, he isn’t smart enough to answer the tricky “ pyramid math question”

Q2
I think the merboy didn’t hurt the two heroes. Chi-yin’s robot had helped the mermen understand the man with the cup handle and thus thanking him. I think they gave Hinson and Chi-yin this feast as a thank you gift as the heroes had helped them. And the merboy was curious and also wanted to help the two heroes back - without knowing about Hinson and Chi-yin, that’s why he jumped into the hula hoop portal.

1. I think the octopus is stupid because it was locked in the jail when it was thinking the answer of the question. The octopus was assigned to be the guard because it can catch the prisoners by using its long tentacles.

2. I personally think that the merboy followed the instruction of the mermaid king to steal their technological knowledge only,not actually to harm the three heroes.

I think the octopus is very arrogant and stupid .It is because he release the heros just by a question which is very easy for the robot,but now he had locked up by the heros.😂

Q 1:I think the octopus is very arrogant and stupid .It is because he release the heros just by a question which is very easy for the robot,but now he had locked up by the heros.😂He was assigned this job to guard the prisoners because he is the only person who knows the answer of the famous octopus question.
Q2:I think the merboy didn’t want to harm the heros,he just followed the mermaid king’s instruction.He wants to join in them and fight Gauwa in his mind.

Q2: I don’t think the merboy harm the heroes formerly. I think the merboy gave a hand to the boys was a return of the conflict between the German alchemist and the mermen as mentioned in Chapter two. The merboy followed them into the portal without any hesitation showed his trustworthiness and passionation to join the adventurous trip with the boys thereafter.

I think the octopus is stupid because it thinks the octo-question is very difficult and nobody can answer it. The octopus is arrogant too. It underestimates others’ wisdom. Also it is very careless that it doesn‘t realize the robot. The octopus was assigned this job to guard the prisoners because it has a fierce face and its boss thinks it has a big head which its brainpower is ten times of the human beings. Also, it has eight long tentacles that can cath sneaky prisoners easily.

Q1. I think the octopus is an arrogant and not a thoughtful guard. It thinks itself to be very smart and its brain power to be better than all the other people in the world. So, when Hinson gives out the question, the octopus is so confident that it immediately says yes without thinking whether this is a trap or not. And it does not know there is a technology robot in the world which is super powerful. I think the merman king asks the octopus to guard the prisoners because the merman king may also think the octopus to be the smartest sea creature in the underwater. Also, the octopus has eight long tentacles. So, the octopus can easily catch the prisoners who try to escape.

Q2. I think the merboy does not want to harm the heroes at first, but he is being forced by the merman king who wants to get the technology robot. Therefore, the merboy has no choice but he needs to poison the two heroes to make them faint. After poisoning the two heroes, the merboy feels guilty. So finally, the merboy helps the two heroes so that they can complete the mission and the merboy can also escape from the merman king.

Students, do you know Octopuses are very intelligent? They can imitate their environment by modifying the colour and even the texture of their skin. They can use their vision and camouflage skills to hunt, and their arms to explore, touch and taste their environment to seize every bit of food within reach.

They might be boneless but they aren't "brainless". Many researches showed that they have "future planning abilities". Such as clearing obstacles or getting away from dangers.

I would love to see Mr. Octopus appears later if there is a chance!:)

The Octopus was fierce and not easy to give up, so the Mermen King thought the Octopus will be competent this job. But the Octopus was also stubborn, arrogant and impulsive, that’s why Hinson and Chi-yin could escape the prison.

I think the Octopus is very foolish.It is because it thinks it is very smart but it did not notice that when Hinson gave him the question he was too busy thinking about it that he did not notice he wandered into the cell. I think the reason the Octopus got chosen as a guard by the mermaid King is because it is not too strong but not too weak.Sharks happen to be too destructive and fish are too wimpy and weak.
