Science Lab Escape Game

TIME REMAINING
15:00
You've been accidentally locked in the university's main research lab! The doors lock automatically, and the only way out is a 4-digit override code entered at the main door.

A note on the first workbench reads: "The code is composed of 4 digits, one from each station. Start here."

Puzzle 1: The Microscope

A slide under the microscope is labeled "Specimen 1A: Cellular Energy". What is the common name for the organelle known as the "powerhouse of the cell"?

You move to the chemistry station. A digital whiteboard displays a classic chemical equation that needs balancing: 
__ CH₄ + __ O₂  →  __ CO₂ + __ H₂O

Puzzle 2: The Equation

When this equation is balanced using the smallest possible whole numbers, what is the sum of all four coefficients?

At the physics corner, a simple circuit is set up on a breadboard. A multimeter is attached, but the current (I) reading is blank.

A note next to it reminds you of Ohm's Law: $V = IR$ (Voltage = Current × Resistance).

Puzzle 3: Ohm's Law

The power supply is set to a Voltage (V) of 12V. The resistor in the circuit is marked as 4Ω (Ohms). What is the Current (I) in Amperes?

You're at the main door, which is next to a computer terminal. The terminal screen is locked and displays a password prompt.

A sticky note on the monitor says: "Hint: Green energy."

Puzzle 4: The Password

The final digit is guarded by this computer. What is the 1-word name of the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy?
