 If even a single wrong answer is given, the player is first sprayed with a set of jets of green gel from the left and right front edges of the tank, playing up and down them to coat their front. After a few seconds, the main tank above them is opened and they'​re showered by a flood of smooth opaque slime that's usually yellow or orange. After both tanks have run out, a third tank pours a heavy black lumpy gunge on to them from above, leaving them completely coated in a sickly mixture of slime. If even a single wrong answer is given, the player is first sprayed with a set of jets of green gel from the left and right front edges of the tank, playing up and down them to coat their front.

 +The machine is controlled from behind the scenes with a rewired game controller, using the analogue sticks to control the angle of the sprayers and the shoulder triggers to open and close the various tanks.

-The Hotseat comes from the game "​Teacher on the Hotseat"​ from Hangar 17, where teachers were asked three questions in the same way as in the IZ game. The three stages of the gunging were from a misremembered reconstruction of how Hangar 17's gunge tank worked - in the real version, the tank sprays gunge from the sides and top at the same time before a brief splatter of thicker gunge is dropped from above. This kind of machine later came to the Industrial Zone in the form of [[izgames:The Cockpit]].+The Hotseat comes from the game "​Teacher on the Hotseat"​ from Hangar 17, where teachers were asked three questions in the same way as in the IZ game.
