Beyond Time Hints
How do I solve the puzzle?
1 of 17: First, you have to find it.
2 of 17: Look at the farthest end of the hallways, just off the big room with the large pillars.
3 of 17: In the tea room, look carefully around the entire room.
4 of 17: Read the book lying on the table.
5 of 17: The Mandala puzzle is hanging on the wall.
6 of 17: It is similar in concept to the Snake Puzzle found in the Priestess' Chamber.
7 of 17: The book tells you that the sum of each lobe is "in perfect harmony".
8 of 17: The "Eighteen Pure Lands of Compassion" are "equal in strength".
9 of 17: The goal is to create pairs whose totals are equal, while also making the sum of the three numbers in any lobe be the same.
10 of 17: The first step is to calculate what those two numbers are (i.e., the sum of each pair, and the sum of the three numbers in any lobe).
11 of 17: Use the numbers shown in the puzzle to determine nine pairs, and six sets of three.
12 of 17: Each pair must total 20; the numbers in each lobe must add up to 30.
13 of 17: As in the Snake Puzzle, there are many correct answers (114, to be exact); but only one will be accepted by the program.
14 of 17: Experiment; try different combinations that follow the rules for the puzzle.
15 of 17: The next two hints provide parts of the answer. Try them one at a time, and see if you can derive the correct answer before moving to the next clue.
16 of 17: The top lobe contains the numbers 8, 18, and 4 (reading left to right).
17 of 17: The bottom lobe contains the numbers 7, 9, and 14 (again reading left to right).
