The CyberSquad needs to pay the toll to make it across the bridge. Instead of money, the trolls want the same number of scones as the number of warts on a troll's face. The CyberSquad members count the number of warts on each troll's face, and after Jackie stacks the counts, they find that an equal number of trolls have 4, 5, and 6 warts. They look for the middle number that splits the group evenly and decide to pay a toll of 5 scones.
