Blast From The Past Digital Escape Breakout Whole Number Division by 1 digit

Description

Whoa?! Where am I? Last thing I knew I was sitting in math class and now I am in the 50s!! I look around the room and it is like a blast from the past! Elvis is playing on the radio and girls are wearing poodle skirts! It looks like I am gonna have to use the long division that I have learned in math class to get back to my current date and time…. It looks like there is a series of locks too…. Welp, I better keep cool and burn rubber so that I am not stuck in the 50’s for good, that would totally rattle my cage! I better move quick, I am already sounding like I’m from the 50’s!
