How does the Merchant Crypt Puzzle work?
1 of 7: The large cube has four sides and can be turned around.
2 of 7: Each side of the cube has a picture depicting "the story of a merchant's wealth over four years."
3 of 7: Each side also features two levers at the top of the picture. The levers can be moved to three positions by clicking above, below or toward the middle of the lever.
4 of 7: Setting the two levers to their correct positions opens a drawer.
5 of 7: Put the proper number of green gems in the drawer on each side.
6 of 7: One gem goes in the drawer depicting the merchant at his poorest state. Four gems should be placed in the drawer showing the wealthiest merchant. In between, put two and three in the other two drawers in order of his growth.
