Room of the CPU Detective Agency.

Scene:
Scene 1: The CPU Detective Agency

Participants gather in a room transformed into a CPU Detective Agency.

Narrator: Welcome to the 'CPU Detectives Agency, where we'll solve computational
mysteries! Our team consists of Jomar, our Fetch Detective, Jacques, our Decode
Detective, and Kimberly Ann, our Execute Detective."

Jomar stands near a desk with a locked briefcase.

Narrator: "Our mission begins with a locked code case. Jomar, as our Fetch
Detective, retrieve the instruction card hidden in the briefcase."

Jomar unlocks the briefcase, retrieves an instruction card, and hands it to Jacques.

Scene 3: Decrypting the Clues

Narrator: "Jacques, it's time to decrypt the clues and reveal the secrets of the code."

Jacques: Decoding is like deciphering a cryptic message. This card hints at 'Add 9
and 6.' So, we must perform an addition operation with 9 and 6.

Jacques decodes the instruction and hands it to Kimberly Ann.

Scene 4: Executing the Operation

Narrator: "Kimberly Ann, as our Execute Detective, it's your job to execute the
operation and unlock the mystery."

Kimberly Ann: Execution is where we unveil the truth. I'll execute the addition
operation with 9 and 6.

Kimberly Ann executes the addition operation and reveals the hidden clue.

Kimberly Ann: The code reveals the location of the next clue!

Scene 5: Clue Continuation

Jomar retrieves the revealed clue and hands it to Jacques.

Narrator: "Our investigation continues! Jacques, decode the new clue."

Jacques decodes the clue, and the process repeats as they follow the trail of
instructions to solve the mystery.

Scene 6: The Grand Revelation

Narrator: "After many clues and operations, we've unveiled the final truth. Kimberly
Ann, execute the last operation and reveal the grand revelation!"

Kimberly Ann executes the final operation, and the hidden message is revealed.

Kimberly Ann: "The mystery is solved! The result is 15

Participants gather for a final discussion.

Narrator: "That concludes our adventure as 'CPU Detectives,' where we've

demonstrated the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle while solving mysteries. Just like
detectives follow clues, CPUs follow instructions to accomplish tasks."

Participants applaud the detective-themed role play.

This role-play scenario, "CPU Detectives," combines the FDE cycle with a detective
narrative, offering an engaging and mysterious way to demonstrate CPU operations
while solving clues and mysteries.

Scene 8: The Repeatable Mystery

[The Detectives gather around, ready for their next mission.]

Narrator: "Our CPU Detectives are always ready for the next challenge. Jomar,
please fetch the next instruction card from our mystery collection."

[Jomar retrieves a new instruction card, and the cycle begins again.]

Scene 9: Decoding the New Clues

[Jacques takes the new instruction card and starts decoding.]

Narrator: "Jacques, let's unravel this new mystery. What does the instruction card
say this time?"

Jacques: (Decoding) "This card instructs us to 'Subtract 15 from 27.' So, we need to
perform a subtraction operation with 15 and 27."

[Jacques decodes the instruction and hands it to Kimberly Ann.]

Scene 10: Executing the Operation

[Kimberly Ann steps forward to execute the operation.]

Narrator: "Kimberly Ann, it's your moment to execute the subtraction operation and
bring us closer to solving this new mystery."

Kimberly Ann: (Executing) "Execution in progress! I'll perform the subtraction

operation with 15 and 27."

[Kimberly Ann performs the subtraction operation and reveals the next clue.]

Kimberly Ann: "We're getting closer to uncovering the secret!"

Scene 11: The Continuing Journey

[Jomar retrieves the revealed clue, and the Detectives discuss their progress.]

Narrator: "Our journey continues, Detectives! Jomar, please fetch the next
instruction card, and let's keep solving this intriguing mystery."

[The cycle repeats, and the Detectives follow the clues, decoding instructions, and
executing operations to progress through the mystery.]

Scene 12: The Ultimate Revelation

[After several rounds of decoding and executing, the Detectives uncover the final
message.]

Narrator: "It's time for the ultimate revelation, Kimberly Ann. Execute the final
operation and unveil the hidden message."

[Kimberly Ann performs the final operation and reveals the last part of the message.]

Kimberly Ann: "The mystery is solved, and the result is 15

---

[Participants applaud the Detectives' persistence in solving mysteries.]

This continuation of the "CPU Detectives" role play scenario adds more rounds of
mystery-solving, demonstrating the repeatable nature of the Fetch-Decode-Execute
cycle in CPU operations. It reinforces the concept while keeping the engagement high
with a sense of ongoing adventure.

TAKEAWAYS

Name of Member: Jomar P. Damot

Contribution to the Group: Leader / Actor of the fetch unit / Made the report

Learnings: I learn that the fetch-decode-execute cycle, also known as the instruction
cycle, is a fundamental process in the operation of a computer's central processing
unit (CPU). It describes the sequence of steps the CPU goes through to fetch,
decode, and execute instructions.
I learn that this cycle forms the basis of how a CPU processes instructions, making it
a crucial concept in understanding computer architecture

Name of Member: Jacques Belmonte

Contribution to the Group: Camera Man / Actor of the decode unit / Editor

Learnings: In Encode, it convert assembly language instructions into machine code

(binary).
In decode, it interpret the machine code to identify the operation and operands.
While the execution perform the operation specified by the instruction.

Name of Member: Rio Joy Reblando

Contribution to the Group: Director / Script Writer / Narrator

Learnings: I've gained a deeper understanding of how the Fetch-Decode-Execute

(FDE) cycle is the cornerstone of computer architecture and CPU operations. This
cycle involves three crucial stages: Fetch, Decode, and Execute. During the Fetch
stage, the CPU retrieves instructions from memory, tracking the memory address
using the program counter or instruction pointer. In the Decode stage, it interprets
these instructions, determining the operation and data involved. Finally, in the
Execute stage, the CPU performs the specified operation, which can include
arithmetic, logic, or data transfer tasks. This cycle ensures that programs run in the
correct sequence and that the CPU efficiently processes instructions and data. This
knowledge is essential for tasks in computer architecture, programming, and
troubleshooting, providing a foundational understanding of how CPUs function.

Contribution to the Group: Leons in charge / Actor of the execute unit

Learnings: The Fetch-Decode-Execute (FDE) cycle is the cornerstone of CPU

operations and computer design, and I've learned a lot about it. The three main
stages are Fetch, Decode, and Execute the instruction's stated action while doing
so,the CPU fetches instructions, analyzes them, and executes the specified action.
