You are doing your graduate thesis on "The financial crisis
and its effect on the development and price of organic products". A good final thesis will gain you a position in the city's
largest research institute, which specialises in researching
market development around the world. Already, before
you've even had your morning coffee, you hear that a new
trainee's position has opened up at the Mogul Economic
Research Institute, where you could finalise your thesis–
if you can only find three persons to interview and see if
they will back you.
When you have got your financial situation back on the straight
and narrow, you can finally return to Missy Smart at Tiny Bank. In
order to get the child genius on your side, you need to beat
Missy Smart soundly at the "Mr Interest and the Inflation
Airship" game.
What happens next? What is the mysterious Q card? Find out
more at www.euro.fi/finanzity.
With the help of Professor Emilia von Ritz you get a tip
on where to find your first contact. The tip is for the
architect John Hippy, who challenges you to play "Who Wants
to be the Biggest Investment Mogul?" game.

When you beat Hippy he rewards you with the name of the
following person to interview as one of the backers you need –
once you have bribed him with 500 euro for his troubles.
At the Floppy Chicken restaurant you find the arrogant Nobel
Prize winner Olof K. Look, who refuses to be interviewed by
you until you have paid a visit to the Tiny Bank, and have
chosen him the best loan possible. Once you have made your
way through the jungle of possible interest rates, you earn
the respect of Olof K. Look, too. For a 500 euro fee, K. Look
agrees to be interviewed by you. He also provides you
with your next tip of who to find as backer for your
project; the child genius Missy Smart.
Of course, you don't get Missy Smart on your side until
