Passcode to the door inside the lava well
So I beat the game already but there was one portion that I did not understand and want to know how to get the answer. The answer to unlock the entrance to the lava well, I guessed on it. How do you actually get the answer?

41 is the answer, so it is based on the relationship between Time period and length of the pendulum which is proportional to square root of the length. Given that a simple pendulum with length marked as 4 units as in the diagram below, mass m = 25 has time period T=2, what will be the time period for the following pendulums:
a) One with length 16 units, mass m=4 (Answer: T = 4)
b) One with length 1 unit, mass m=9 (Answer: T = 1)

Wow, I was making it really hard for some reason. Thanks for the information! Super great game, I will be leaving a positive view and looking forward to hopefully more to come.
Side note
I know you guys are just following more of the giants of physics and their mindsets, but what would the new chapters include? Would you guys be going further than classical physics and maybe even touch into a few other fields of science?

Thanks a lot. Yes we would like to continue further certainly but it all depends on the sales of this game. If we have enough people like you, we will continue the series of games but we need much more exposure and we are self-funded at the moment. Kindly leave a review. We appreciate your support.

Maybe what threw you off is what drove me bananas trying to factor in which is the m-9 and m-25 annotations on the left of the diagram. Ignore those and hey presto! It's very straightforward!

If you read the notes thoroughly, they mention that mass is irrelevant to anything other than damping time. :-)
