Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
What's the best syringe-pipe combo for making a good blowgun?
1 of 6: You'll need a syringe that fits into the chosen pipe without jamming, while having nearly the same diameter as the pipe.
2 of 6: If you point at the syringes in inventory, you'll notice that their measurements are given in "pts" rather than in millimeters.
3 of 6: To get the "pts" measurement of a pipe, pick it up and look at it in inventory.
4 of 6: Your syringes are size 32, 40, and 48, and the four pipes are (in left-to-right order) size 26, 48, 42, and 58. So what pipe would work best with which syringe?
5 of 6: Looking through the pipes, you'll see that no syringe will fit into the size-26 pipe, and the size-58 pipe is way too big for any syringe to act as a good blowdart with (since most of the air blown into the pipe would go around the syringe instead of pushing it).
6 of 6: The closest match in which the pipe is bigger is the size-42 pipe and the size-40 syringe.
