Scores

Track one:
44 days x 25 feet and 1 inch
At a convenient time, gently pull the twine from the wall 6.8 inches using the custom-made tool provided. Repeat this procedure every day until the end is reached. At this point the twine will have the same length of the gallery and the exhibition will be close to an end.

Track two:
|   |
Measure one part of your body and separate the two elements that are leaning against the wall by that distance. At another day, or when you consider it convenient, measure another part of your body and change the distance between the two elements accordingly. Do this when there are no visitors in the gallery.

Track three:
Three questions presented as answers
Replace one metal ball with a spherical natural object of similar size, like an orange*, every day. Do this when there are no visitors in the gallery and until the three metal balls are replaced. Once the three metal balls are replaced, start replacing each natural object with a metal ball until the three natural objects are replaced. Start this process when you consider it appropriate and repeat as many times as you want.
* The Portuguese store nearby sells fresh oranges
