You fall down the dark, damp passage and land with a thud in a clearing. Trees are all around you with a path in each cardinal direction. Staring at you in incredulity is the White Rabbit.
Your mission, should you [[choose to accept it]], is to find the hidden link by playing the story.
If you don't accept it, how did you make it this far? Go on, take a break, and return when you've got your mind right.
"Why hello there Little One," the White Rabbit greets you with an impatient glare, "are you off to this forsaken tea party as well?"
[[Yes, I'll go with you]] ~ [[No, I don't know you]]"Excellent! Hurry along now, we can't be late. Come with me," the White Rabbit marches you North into the woods.
[[Continue to the party]]"Well too bad, we can't have you sitting alone. Come with me," the White Rabbit marches you North into the woods.
[[Continue to the party]]As you move through the woods, you hear the sounds of a tea party (whatever that means). Eventually, the trees part to reveal a table festooned with teapots and cakes. Around it, you see 3 figures in conversation: the March hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse.
You must greet the leader of the table to move on.
[[Greet the March Hare]]
[[Greet the Mad Hatter]]
[[Greet the Dormouse]]You greet the March Hare and he says, “Bring me the Hatter’s coin and I’ll give you my hat.”
[[Approach the Hatter]]You greet the Mad Hatter and he says, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
1) “[[There is no answer.]]”; 2) “[[Because Poe wrote on both.]]”; 3) “[[Because there is a B in Both.]]” Dormouse, the mouse says “Ah, of course… I am the leader, thank you for seeing that… *doses off* What? Oh, yes. You should go see the Queen, she's having a party.”
[[Go to the Palace]]The characters leave the tea party, well except for Dormouse who has fallen asleep, and scurry toward the Queen’s castle. While there, it is clear that a member of the Queen’s court has offended her by being unable to solve one of her favorite math problems.
She turns to the crowd and singles you out with a quivering finger, a glint in her eye, and she calls out "You, peasant, solve my question if you want to save this fool!"
“Answer me this… Given a standard Lagrangian = `\frac{1}{2} m \dot{\vec{r}} \cdot \dot{\vec{r}} + e \dot{\vec{r}} \cdot \vec{A}(\vec{r}) - e \Phi(\vec{r})`, tell me the generalized momentum at r = 2 where the magnetic vector potential is 2r, the scalar potential is 1r, and the time-derivative of position is 3r. Use a mass in kilograms and the charge in coulombs to 3 sig figs rounded. Only give the first two sig figs of the answer and ignore the scientific notation with no units.”

[[The limit does not exist.]]
The Hatter flips you a golden coin, "That's correct my dear. Here, take a token of my appreciation."
"Ah what's that, the Queen is having a party?! Dormouse, why are you just telling me about this?!"
[[Go to the Palace]]“Nice try my dear, but not everything is a Google away. Sometimes it pays to crack a book. Riddles are like a… well you understand, it’s here one minute and gone the next. The severity of your transgression means you are not allowed at our party.”

[[Fall Down]]Walking around the table to the Hare, you flip him the coin. “Thank you for the coin, here’s my hat,” the Hare says.
[[Put the hat on for good luck]] ~ [[Look inside and risk offending the Hare]]
You put the hat on and feel a rush of luck surround you. Everyone at the table gets up, except the Dormouse (who has fallen face-first into a cake).
"Well my dear," the Hatter says, "I believe we're off to the Queen's party."
[[Go to the Palace]]An inside label reads: "Congratulations on not moving too fast, your next task can be found here https://the-challenge.neocities.org/cryptic_2. You can always go on to the castle if you want, but you can move on now.”
[[Go to the Palace]]The Queen screeches, "These useless imbeciles, ruining my court party. Off with their heads!"
[[Fall Down]]The Queen thinks about it for a moment, then says, “Good, you may leave.”
*Unfortunately you have not understood the assignment. You may have answered the question correctly, but not everything is about being right.*
