WATER TANK PUZZLE<P>Explore the compound and you will find 3 cisterns and a set of equipment that controls the flow of water from one tank to the another. There is also a indicator panel that displays the contents of the main tank when you press the button: 6400. Find the path that leads through the wall and note the number painted on the wall of the cistern: 1200. Go back to the distribution block. The 3 clues to the puzzle were:</P><P>The diagram in the 4-Way tower.

Clicking on the cylinder tells you how much water will be transferred when you pull the lever. Remember that the main tank can transfer 1/4 of its contents to the cisterns and the cisterns can transfer 1/2 their contents to each other.</P><P>Solution: </P><P>1. Move the distribution block to join the two left pipes. Pull the lever to transfer 1600 to the cistern leaving 4800 in the main tank.

Click on the cylinder to discover that only 1/3 of a normal transfer will take place. There is 3600 in the main tank and a normal transfer is 1/4 or 900 units so 1/3 of that is 300 units. Pull the lever to transfer 300 to the left cistern. Go back through the cisterns and press the button on the next control panel to display the content of the cistern: 1100. Climb the ladder and open the hatch. Crawl through the cistern and down the other side. Note the control panel with 3 coloured buttons. Climb the ladder and open the hatch. Crawl through the tunnel and into the main tank. The first piece of the letter is the case. Note the colours and numbers painted on your right.1 d/ \, [2 j5 ]3 ?! f
6. Back to the control panel. Press the top button the set the lower buttons t red 1, blue 5 and yellow 9. Press the top button again and you can now retrieve the first part of the letter from the case.</P><P>All the way back now and press the button connected to the pump to transfer all the water back into the main tank. Leave the valley and return to the Square Building. Turn the water back on using the wheel round the back and return to the 4 Way Tower.</P>THE SIMULATOR CONTROL ROOM<P>From the 4 Way tower, walk to the Red Brick Building and on to the wooden building with the twin pipes. Make sure you slide the floor back in case you need to return to the Square Building. If you transferred the water flow in the Square Building you can now enter the left-hand room and go through the door at the back. Walk along the suspended corridor and down the ladder at the end. Round the corner the way is blocked until you press the red button. On the other side of the rotating door press the red button to close it again (just in case...). Continue along the corridor and out the door. At the end of the path is the Round Elevator Tower. Call the elevator using the lower button and open the doors using the upper button. Climb inside. Close the doors and go up. Open the doors and leave the elevator. Make sure you press the \'rotate\' button on the outside of the tower. Walk round the path and you should recognize where you are. Continue to the telescope on the left. If you look in the lens and pan around you will see three stars on the door on the building. If you left the door open you will have to make your way back to the Door Complex and close it as it has an important clue for later on.</P><P>Keep going along the path, down the stairs and onwards to a sandy path. On the right is a bridge to a building with an upper window. Inside is a locked door - note the symbols on the door and the camera on the opposite wall. Go outside and turn right into the Simulator Control Room. Go inside, close the door and there is another map:</P><P></P><P>It is the same as the first map you saw, only now the red dot has moved. Press the \'simulation\' button to the left of the door. Connected to this button is a control panel with four buttons. Press the buttons until the symbols on the screen match those on the locked door. Now compare these to the symbols on the paper you printed out in the 4-way Tower.</P><P> </P><P>Door - Simulation - Key</P><P>Turn now and go to the control panel on the opposite wall. Press the red button and key in the code 8527. Press the green button and the door opens. The third control panel doesn\'t do anything yet.</P><P>Leave the control room and walk round to the now open door. Continue along the path and all the way round to a doorway on the right. You can see the revolving bridge you noted soon after you arrived in Rhem. Turn round and take the right hand door. Go down and up and across the bridge. Open the control panel and rotate the walkway to align bottom and right (actually North and West). This will allow access to the last remaining exit from the Round Building. Walk back across the bridge and in the room turn on the power to the rotating bridge by pressing the button in the top panel. Walk all the way back to the control room and press the red button on the third control panel. Now press the green button to rotate the bridge. Back to the rotating bridge and cross to the other side [CD2].</P><P>Climb the ladder and enter the Round Building. Leave through the Upper West Exit at the other end of the passage and follow the path down to the left. Examine the <B>I</B> control panel on the left. Pull down the lever once and note the three wedge patterns, and the order they appeared (bottom, middle, top). Back to the Round Building and climb down the ladder. Out the door and along the path to the Radio Complex [CD1].</P>THE RADIO COMPLEX<P>Go down the stairs and along the path to the building. Take the left path and continue all the way round to the back of the building. On the bridge look to your left and you can see a cabinet containing another piece of the missing letter. Inside the building are two more doors. Take the door on the right and walk round until you find a radar screen. You should see a golden dot which represents the position of the radio antenna you activated ages ago. If there is no dot you have a long walk all the way back to Pumping Station and out the other side to the control panel where you need to press the right hand button - this is the \'Lone Antenna\' marked on the right hand diagram below.</P><P>Leave the radio shack and go to all 12 antennas in the radio complex and press the right hand button. With all 13 activated return to the radio shack and pull the big lever to move the grid over the radar screen. Compare the result to the diagram you printed out in the 4-Way tower.</P><P> </P><P>All you need to do is set each of the co-ordinates on the antenna control panels to those on the diagram. So it is back outside for a stroll round all the antennas not forgetting the one out by the Pumping Station. If get lost or stuck the full solution is here)</P><P>With the co-ordinates set, return to the radio shack and pull the lever up to move the grid out of the way. Go to the radar screen and press the red button. There is a \'whistle\' on each correct location, if there is just a click you need to check that antenna. Note the numbers that appear in the centre and go now to the control panel behind you. Program in the code 8829 and press the red button. A bridge slides across.</P><P>Go back out to the entrance hall and examine the door to your right. It has a <B>I</B> painted on it, the same as the control panel with the slider control. Compare the nine wedge shapes you discovered in the generator complex with the three you got from the screen after you pulled down the slider. Match the patterns to get the wedge numbers. Now enter those numbers into the control panel and the door should open allowing you access to the second piece of the letter. Note that the wedge patterns change each time you pull the lever down and they display from bottom to top.</P><P>Back now to the control panel and press the button to slide the bridge back across so you can exit the Radio Complex.</P><P>Return to the Round Building, climb the ladder and leave by Upper West Exit. Walk all the way back to the Manhole and down the ladder. Return to the Lower South Exit of the Round Building and press the cross button to call the ladder. Open the door and climb the ladder to enter the Control Room. Use the panel on the opposite wall the rotate the mechanism to the East and South (down and right). Enter the Round Building, walk along the passage and, down the ladder and out the Lower East Exit. Take the long walk all the way back to the 4-Way Tower.</P><P>If you have not yet rotated the elevator and reset the airlock you need to do so now. If all is in place take the left exit and wind your way all the way back to the Square Building. Take the path off to the right and up the stairs and into the Round Elevator Tower. Go down and follow the path round to the door at the back of the Square Building. Inside, if the airlock was reset, follow the passage up the ladder, along the walkway and down the other end. Follow the path to a Pentangle Complex</P>THE PENTANGLE COMPLEX<P>On your right is a pillar with diamond shape at the top. On the left, if you walk forwards a bit is a round building holding the next piece of the letter. The door leading to the building has the same diamond shape (but is locked. Again). Opposite this door is a little bridge leading to another locked door. OK, nothing else to do but climb the ladder. Walk along the path and into the red walled complex. Just round the next corner is a door on the left. Enter the room and climb down the ladder. One path leads to a locked gate and the other leads to a bridge held in place by a steel bar. Turn the handwheel to unlock the bridge. Nothing happens so climb back out and turn left. Round the next corner is a monorail. Start the train using the red button and set off using the upper arrow. After a very short journey, climb out and go round the corner. Note the pin holding the train in place. Leave the building and take a good look around.</P><P>In front of you is a 5 Sided Building with a bridge on the right. Note the large pipe leading from the building in the far right corner. The door to the 5 Sided Building is locked (no surprises there then). Head towards the bridge and note the panel with 4 round buttons and one square button. Go over the bridge and into the red brick building. Take the path on the left and note the ladder leading down into the water. Go round the corner and press the button to lower the ramp. Keep going and up the ramp on the other side. At the end of the path climb down the ladder and examine the panel on the wall of the building. The shapes keep changing when you click on the panel but they should be familiar from the Simulation you saw in the 4-Way Tower. Turn round and pull the lever down to start the water pump.</P><P>Climb the ladder and walk back to the ladder leading down into the now drained pool. Examine the diagram on the wall - there seems to be a hidden passage beneath the monorail.</P><P>Climb back out and cross over the bridge. Walk to the other side of the area to where the pipe disappears over the wall. After climbing the stairs you should realize that you are back where you entered the complex. Go to the room where you unlocked the bridge. It is full of water and you can now cross to the other side. Open the box and pull the lever to unlock the gate. Turn round and look into the well. It is empty but there is a bottle down there and a drain on the left. Turn about and take a stroll all the way back to the pump. Pull the handle to return the water to the pool. And now it is all the way back to the well. Climb down the ladder and go through the unlocked gate. Open the drain at the base of the well and head back once again to the pump. Pull the lever to flood the building and return once more to the well. You can now pick up the bottle. Pull out the stopper and examine the illustration hidden inside:</P><P></P><P>It is the key to the shape sequences that unlock the door to the 5-sided Building and relates to the simulation you saw in the 4 Way tower. Drop the bottle back in the water and head back to the 5-sided Building. This time instead of turning right to the bridge, go straight forwards to the panel on the wall. Click on the panel until the symbols are: line, square, diamond.</P><P>Head back over the bridge and return to the panel next to the pump. Click on the panel until the symbols are: line, square, triangle.</P><P>Back up the ladder and down the ramp. Press the button to lower the ramp and walk round to the other side of the building. Press the button to raise the ramp and walk round to the other side of the building. Cross the ramp and round the other side is a tunnel that is now drained. If it isn\'t you need to pump the water out. Follow the passage and you come out near a beach ball. Go to the panel on the wall. Click on the panel until the symbols are: triangle, circle, diamond.</P><P>3 down and one to go. Head back along the passage and out to the bridge. On the top of the bridge you can see a path off to the left. That is where you need to go. Walk back to the monorail station. Jump into the train and start the engine. Press the down arrow and the thing complains but cannot leave because the pin is still in place. Jump out and pull the pin. The train shoots off back to the other station. Below where the train was is a hatch. Open it and climb down the ladder. At the far end of the passage is a path leading left and right. Go left and you will end up at the last wall panel. Click on the panel until the symbols are: triangle, circle, triangle.</P><P>Return to the ladder. You can explore the other path but you will only end up back where you started and probably locked out as well. Climb the ladder and go back to the panel with the 4 round and 1 square buttons. Press the square button and, if all the panels are set correctly, the door will unlock.</P> |
