TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown an extract from a movie plot. You need to read the extract and create questions that can be answered from the extract. The questions should be well-formed and grammatically correct. The questions should be completely answerable from the given passage and should not require any external knowledge. Subjective questions are not allowed. Create questions that result in factoid answers. A simple rule of thumb to decide whether a question is factoid or not is to see if two different people with average reading/comprehension skills would come up with the same answer after reading the passage.
PROBLEM: Nights are long and frustrating for Tony Nelson (James Congdon), a brilliant and enlightened scientist researching matter and its relationship to time and space. He experiments with an unusual amplifier that he has proven releases hard matter from the atomic identity it holds allowing atoms of other objects to intermingle with it without damage, meaning that he has found a way of melding two dissimilar objects initiating a third type of material. When one of his late-night tests causes the destruction of the lab where he has been working he is forced to leave his post for another lab where his brother Scott (Robert Lansing) continues research into devising a highly impregnable type of steel called Cargonite. Scott offers Tony a job which Tony considers because it would give him opportunities to continue his research. Things look even better when Tony meets Linda Davis (Lee Meriwether), until he discovers she is Scotts fiancée. The sense of competition between the brothers reemerges when Tony tells Scott of his research into passing objects through each other and Scotts intense interest is piqued. Even though Scott suffers from raging migraines, his doctor has assured him is only his brain functioning at a very high level. Tony and Linda are attracted to each other immediately and the sense of guilt in Tony makes him to decide to leave the lab. But Scott snoops into Tonys experiment and discovers that he can pass objects through each other and additionally he can pass his own hand trough solid matter. He repeats the experiment for Tony discovering that he doesnt need the amplifier but merely by will-power he has the power to pass through solid matter, but with physical drawbacks resulting in severely aging him every time and preventing him from touching other humans without killing them.

SOLUTION: Who is the scientist?

PROBLEM: Paul Racine, a computer-chip executive from New York, is on a business trip to Nagoya. He meets Kirina in the hotel lounge, and they have a one-night stand. Kirina is approached by Kinjo and two ninjas. Kirina shows no fear and Kinjo, the leader of a cult of ninja assassins and grants her final wish by showing his face. Paul returns and hides in the foyer while calling the police. When Kinjo decapitates Kirina, Paul tries to come to her defense and then tries to flee. Enraged that someone has seen his face, Kinjo's men stab Paul, hit him with a poisoned shuriken and slash his throat, leaving him for dead.Paul awakes in a hospital room, but his claims of seeing Kinjo are met with disbelief by the police. Lieutenant Wadakura dismisses the allegation and suspects that the murder is the work of a Yakuza syndicate. Paul is approached by Ijuro Takeda, an expert on the cult and Kinjo. Paul discovers that Takeda is the last in a samurai line and has a score to settle with Kinjo. The ninjas attempts to murder Paul at the hospital, killing several hospital staff and police officers, including Wadakura, but Paul escapes. Takeda and his wife Mieko subsequently take Paul to their family's stronghold, located on an island several hundred miles away. Leaving the city, Takeda uses Paul as bait to draw Kinjo out, leading to a battle on the train where several passenger cars of innocent people are slaughtered by the ninjas. Takeda and Mieko defeat the attackers, but Kinjo was not among them. The ninja leading the attack was Junko, Kinjo's lover, giving Kinjo motivation to kill Paul and Takeda.On the island, Paul spends time with the drunken blacksmith Oshima, who is constructing a sword for Takeda, and the old man teaches him about smithing and swordsmanship. Mieko explains the history of the two clans' conflict and the samurai concepts of courage and honor. Mieko is sympathetic toward Paul, the polar opposite of her husband, although she remains loyal to Takeda.Kinjo decides to find out who hired his clan to murder Kirina. The man he finds, Nemura, is a powerful Yakuza figure who bought Kirina from her father, then ordered her death when she left him after years of servitude. Kinjo, disgusted that he killed an innocent woman over such a petty grievance, kills the man.Three weeks later, Takeda's new sword is ready, and Paul's injuries have healed. When Paul announces that he wants to leave the island and return home to New York, Takeda has him imprisoned and sends a message to Kinjo telling him Paul's whereabouts. Takeda's inexperienced samurai are overwhelmed by the hordes of ninjas who arrive, but Takeda gets the duel with Kinjo he wants. Kinjo stabs Takeda through the torso; Takeda in turn stabs Kinjo in the leg, but soon dies.As Kinjo is about to kill a helpless Mieko he is caught off-guard by Paul, whom Oshima had released on Mieko's instructions. Paul stabs Kinjo in the arm, but is armed with only a sword he barely knows how to use. With his newfound skills, a lot of luck and the assistance of a wounded Mieko, Paul decapitates Kinjo. Paul, Mieko, and Oshima head up the hill toward the castle.

SOLUTION: Where does Paul awaken?
