The Backstory:
Chef Tito wasn't just famous for his incredible tacos; he was also a secret inventor! His greatest creation? The "Taco Tuesday Time Machine," designed to experience the best Taco Tuesdays from across history. Unfortunately, during a recent jump to sample ancient Mayan proto-tacos, the machine sputtered, fractured the timeline, and scrambled his ingredient inventory and order system!
To fix the timeline and get back to serving perfect tacos, Chef Tito needs two Temporal Coordinate codes. These codes are hidden within the descriptions of two very specific, albeit chronologically confused, taco orders that appeared on his screen during the malfunction.
Your Mission:
Decipher the ingredients for the two special taco orders below using the "Ingredient Calibration Matrix." The order in which you identify the correct ingredients for each taco description will give you the digits for that taco's Temporal Coordinate code.
The Ingredient Calibration Matrix:
-
0: Lime
-
1: Salsa
-
2: Onion
-
3: Beef
-
4: Cheese
-
5: Lettuce
-
6: Guacamole
-
7: Fish
-
8: Cilantro
-
9: Sour Cream
The Scrambled Taco Orders:
Taco Order Alpha:
-
"It starts with the smooth, green spread that costs extra but is oh-so-worth it."
-
"Followed by the most common protein found sizzling on Tito's flat-top."
-
"Finally, add the vibrant, saucy staple that ties it all together."
Taco Order Beta:
-
"Begin again with that popular avocado mash, a timeless favourite."
-
"Next, a zap of citrusy zest."
-
"Finish with the sprinkle of chopped green leaves that people either love or vehemently hate."
