Which way to go?
Down the staircase.
"Let's check what's down there first."
Since Jen was not hindered by impractical footwear, the staircase was behind in twenty seconds. The girl started to advance through the straight and suspiciously empty passage until the wall made a turn again.
Through careful exploration Jen found out that she was in a round room with five open passages (including her own) and a locked door.{If Permanent blindfold = true}{else} During the process, her blindfold produced a

"Oh, finally! But one thing at a time, please."{endif}
"It would be so nice to know what it needs... And it better not be trying to tell us to put on more locking stuff again."
{If Insanity > 39}"Why not? We enjoyed ourselves on our way there, didn't we?"
{elseif Insanity < 60}"We did. But I still want to go home above anything else."{endif}
Jen found the useless display near the door and rubbed it to find any clue about the requirements, but there was absolutely nothing at all.
{If Insanity > 39}"Maybe it will tell us if we ask nicely."
The girl raised her head quickly.
"That's an idea. Everything has a voice interface nowadays. Ahem... Door! Tell me the opening requirements!"
There was a twitch in the display, and she put her palm over there to check if anything changed. And it did! A large number was now protruding through the screen, and Jen quickly read it with her fingers.
It was "2/0".
"What? Shouldn't I be able to pass if it's zero? Wait..."
{else}Not even Brailles...
"The last door had these pimples, but this one does not... What can it mean?
Oh! The number is zero! I mean, there must be a zero in this alphabet as well, but they did that on purpose, 'cause I don't know shit about it! However... shouldn't I be able to pass if it's zero? Wait..."{endif}
The girl tried to reach to the top of the door, but her dress did not let her{If Latex mini dress key = true}, so she turned the key she was carrying in the keyhole, and the garment's laces released all of a sudden, and the latex garment fell to the floor. Jen already got used to its tightness, but she did not care about being naked anymore. Business was first.
Standing on tiptoes, she reached the top of the door and found the exact thing she guessed there will be. A small nameplate said "Exit".
"Oh! It means I need to get rid of the blindfold, and that's it! I'm so smart, I'm so smart!" — Jen jumped around, delighted by her discovery.{else}.
"Ah crap." — she said, and ran back upstairs, returning with the velvet-seat chair. Standing on tiptoes, she reached the top of the door and found the exact thing she guessed there will be. A small nameplate said "Exit".
"Oh! It means I need to get rid of the dress and the blindfold!"
Jen stepped down from the chair, delighted by her discovery.{endif}
{If Permanent blindfold = true}But the euphoria did not last long. She rubbed the perfectly smooth metal band around her head.
"...and that's impossible, because I made it so."
"Oh, don't cry again. We'll figure it out sooner or later. Let's search for help."
{else}"Let's go for the blindfold key, shall we?"{endif}
What is Jen's next action?
