All the extra tubes were sold at the FIRST store and Building 19.

Outside of the "water game" joke, there could be different colored carpet indicating water which can't be crossed, etc.

I'm thinking of the six place precision of the three numbers. Could it be that the programming has to be switched from integer to -er- floating point?
