Solution
$2 — The puzzle's trick lies in recognizing that the price of each item at 'Vowel Value Varieties' is determined by the number of vowels (A, E, I, O, U) in its name.
Let's look at the examples:
- 'ORANGES': O, A, E (3 vowels) -> Price $3.
- 'APPLES': A, E (2 vowels) -> Price $2.
- 'BANANAS': A, A, A (3 vowels) -> Price $3.
Following this pattern for 'KIWIS':
- 'KIWIS': I, I (2 vowels) -> Therefore, the price is $2.

You are at the entrance of 'Wonderland Park', which has a peculiar grid layout where all main paths are perfectly straight and intersect at right angles. You want to visit three attractions in a specific order: first the 'Mystic Maze', then the 'Sky-High Swing', and finally the 'River Rapids'.
From the Entrance:
- The Mystic Maze is 3 blocks North and 2 blocks East.
- The Sky-High Swing is 1 block North and 4 blocks East.
- The River Rapids is 4 blocks North and 1 block East.
Here's the catch: When you start your journey at the Entrance, you are facing North. More importantly, after you exit *any* attraction, you *always* find yourself facing North again, regardless of how you entered or exited. To move to your next destination, you must first turn to face the correct direction before walking. Each turn (left, right, or about-face) counts as 1 'orientation adjustment'. Each block walked is a 'movement unit', but we are only interested in minimizing turns.
What is the minimum total number of orientation adjustments needed to visit all three attractions in the specified order?
