I haven't tallied it up exactly and they don't tell you, but it appears you need 35 to pass and I'm pretty sure I got around 40.

A more senior angel decided to take a novice angel down to explore the world. They took human form and after a long, exhausting walk, they came to a mansion, knocked, and asked the rich owner for a place to sleep.

The man looked at them sourly, then reluctantly said they could sleep in the cold basement. He had his maid take them down a stone stairway, instructing them not to touch anything. On the way, the first angel reached up and repaired a fist-sized hole that was marring the wall, making it so that the wall was smooth and perfectly finished.

The next day they set out again. At nightfall, again exhausted, they found a small farmhouse and asked the old woman inside if they could spend the night. The woman welcomed and fed them, and then insisted they sleep in her bed while she slept on the floor. The next morning when the old woman awoke, she found that her cow had died in the night.

The angels did what they could to comfort her, but eventually took their leave. As they walked down the road, the junior angel said to the senior: "I don't understand. You helped the rude man by repairing the hole in his wall, but you did not help the kind old woman by saving her crow. Why not?"

The senior angel smiled and said, "Inside the hole, the rich man had hidden a map to a treasure he planned to steal, so I turned the hole into solid stone. At the old woman's house, I heard Death come for the woman in the night, so I stepped outside and convinced him to take the cow instead."

First two women started fighting. Then their boyfriends’ friends joined in. And it grew from there, Revere Mayor Dan Rizzo told NECN. Soon enough, Revere Beach was so chaotic that officers from multiple departments had trouble pushing through to break it up.

“It’s very busy down there because of the weather, and then one thing happens, and no one wants to leave,” Revere Police Sgt. Charlie Ovino told Boston.com. “It was extremely bad. We sent our prisoner wagon and it couldn’t even make it through.”

Ovino said that an additional 300 to 400 people congregated around the fight, which made intervening in the melee more difficult for police officers. Every officer on call in Revere and East Boston was on hand. Officers from Lynn, Chelsea, MBTA Transit, Boston, Winthrop, Everett, and the state environmental police were also on the scene trying to restore order, Ovino said.

The brawlers threw bottles and rocks at each other, as well as at police. In all, 12 people were arrested, according to Rizzo.
