Cracking The Conspiracy Hints

How do I fix the circuits?

  • 1 of 15: The object is to direct the flow of electricity from the positive and negative points (on the bottom right) to the power button wires (on the bottom left).
  • 2 of 15: When turned on, the current will fill all available conduit tubing.
  • 3 of 15: The little switches each have a red top that can be moved down or up to open or close them.
  • 4 of 15: When the red top is down, the tube is connected, allowing electricity to flow through it.  Shut off the current at a switch by pulling the red plunger top up.
  • 5 of 15: The current from the red wire should connect to the positive charge. Electricity from the gray wire should lead to the negative.
  • 6 of 15: Trace the flow of electrical current from each wire, remembering that it will flood through any open switches.  Pay particular attention to the way the tubing travels over and under intersecting lines.
  • 7 of 15: Close and open any switches so the current travels where you want it to go.
  • 8 of 15: There are nine switches.  Five of them should be reset.
  • 9 of 15: Close the two switches that sit on the leftmost part of the panel by pulling their plungers up.  This redirects the current to the right.
  • 10 of 15: One of those switches has another switch on the same line going horizontally. Close it also.
  • 11 of 15: Open the switch which sits approximately in the top center of the panel.
  • 12 of 15: There is still a conflict on the right side, where three switches sit closely together.  One of those needs to be changed so the negative and positive currents do not collide.
  • 13 of 15: The switch on the vertical tube needs to be closed.
  • 14 of 15: Push the power button.
  • 15 of 15: The picture below shows the switches in their proper positions and the correct flow of electrical current.
