It was the final stage of the challenge, Max had gone through six stages already and it hadn't been easy. He knew his qualification to this final stage was nothing but pure luck.
This final challenge wasn't going to be an easy one. The bottled message as they called it; in a bottle was a message to whoever finds it first, it was the number combination to a lock, whoever found the combination would. But the problem was finding the bottle with the message. 100 bottles were buried to the neck on a small area of land, the ground wasn't solid under the feet. There was a path they had to memorize, if you strayed from the path, the ground would give way. Three of the finalist would search for the bottle that had the message till it was found. It was a frantic search, two minutes into the search, one of the finalist had fallen, just two remaining; Max and another girl. After searching for about an hour, they still couldn't find the bottle with the message. It was just two bottles remaining, as they raced to get the bottles, the ground gave way.
