The Incriptor Chip has fallen into a pyramid in the desert and Dr. Marbles was getting it, until he was imprisoned. The kids were called upon by Motherboard to go in and get Marbles and the chip. Unfortonatly, they have to get out before the gate of the pyramid has closed, locking them in for eternity. The gate drops down as the water drips from two cylinders. The kids find out there are 15 rings of water left and each ring drops out each minute, meaning they have about 15 minutes to go in and out. Matt's watch is broken and Jackie might sneeze again and lose count of time. However, they find an artifact moving at the same pace as the water cylinder, and then use a bunch of rubies and an even distributor to know how many seconds have passed and a ring and stick to know how many minutes they have left.

Digit arrives in R-Fair City ready to seek out Madame N. Cognita, who invited him vacation there.

The kids, having been sent to rescue him, know only that he is in danger and that Motherboard has said something about unfair games. When a coin toss wins them a free ride from a cab driver named ""Lucky"", they take advantage of the opportunity to explore the city with a local. Lucky teaches them how to recognize a fair game--one in which everyone's chances of winning are the same--and leads them from site to site to test the games out. She explains that a rumor has been circulating that there are unfair games in R-Fair City, and that as a result fewer and fewer people have been coming to play. The kids think about why someone would want to make people doubt R-Fair City's games, and decide the resulting chaos sounds like something Hacker would orchestrate. Meanwhile, Buzz an
