Ocean's Five Solution

How it works

With all the information that Leo has provided them via emails over the course of the weekend, along with the props they receive when they arrive, this turns into a simple logic puzzle of determining who has to do things in what order. The solution/rough logical process looks like this:

  1. Person #1 takes the "Totally Legitimate Paper" and "A. D. Straxion" Agent badge and spends five minutes in Sam's hallway distracting Sam by making him/her fill out paperwork - call this T+0 to T+5:00. This gives the team a five-minute time window to complete the entire jailbreak.
  2. At the same time, Person #2 goes to the Warden's office with the "Stan Dinn" Guard badge to relieve him for his break from T+0 to T+2:00. This gives the team a two-minute time window to loop the video feeds.
  3. After the Warden leaves his office, Person #3 enters the Video room to loop the video from T+0:30 to T+2:00. This takes 1:30, allowing for a 30-second fudge to start the loop in time.
  4. The long pole to modify the records and take the jailbreak is longer than the three minutes they'll have after they loop the video, so they have to start the records path in parallel.
  5. After the Warden leaves his office, Person #4 enters the Records room to search for Jimmy's record (which takes 2:30) from T+0:30 to T+3:00.
  6. At the same time, Person #5 enters the Server room with the USB key to find the security key (which takes 2 minutes) from T+0:30 to T+2:30. He then runs over to the Records room with the USB key from T+2:30 to T+3:00.
  7. When the search is complete and the USB key arrives, Person #4 updates and saves Jimmy's record (which takes 30 seconds), from T+3:00 to T+3:30.
  8. Once the save is complete, Person #6 calls the Warden to arrange for Jimmy's release (which takes 30 seconds), from T+3:30 to T+4:00. This leaves a 1-minute fudge for transit time all around.

Solution

After the teams have succesfully received a call from the Warden that Jimmy was released, their room proctor told them to submit the answer JAILBREAK.
