Plot hole: In Aunty Em's Emporium, when Medusa turns the older woman to stone, she has hold of Annabeth's wrist and Annabeth cannot free herself.

Percy Jackson: I don't know what you're talking about!
Mrs. Dodds: Give to me, now, or I will bite your heart out!
Question: How did Percy's mom know how to access the elevator to get them up to Olympus? She's human and Percy's god father left when he was a baby.
