Aquarium Architect 🐠🌊

The city has commissioned a landmark aquarium, and you, Maya, are the lead architect. Every exhibit stays sealed until you certify it: the exact volume of water it holds (even with fractional edge lengths) and the precise surface area of glass — computed from a net — needed to enclose it. Get the engineering right and the tanks come alive.

Grand Opening — Commission Complete!

The landmark aquarium is open, Architect. You certified every exhibit — computing exact volumes with fractional edge lengths and deriving surface areas from nets, including a composite tank — and reverse-engineered the dimensions of two reservoirs. The city has named the Ocean Hall in your honor, Maya.
