How can I fix the broken crank?

  • 1 of 13: Any ideas what you might need to fix a broken crank?
  • 2 of 13: Maybe some very strong glue?
  • 3 of 13: But you haven't got any.
  • 4 of 13: Then maybe you can manufacture some.
  • 5 of 13: You'll need some "substances".
  • 6 of 13: Four in all -- you quite likely have some or even all of them already!
  • 7 of 13: You need some Hair grease.
  • 8 of 13: You will also need some Biscuit ingredients.
  • 9 of 13: You'll also have to find some Sap.
  • 10 of 13: You must get some Resin.
  • 11 of 13: Put these sticky substances into the mixer located on the table; switch on and mix if/when necessary.
  • 12 of 13: Use the hair grease, biscuit ingredients, tree sap, and resin  -- the order is unimportant.  Eureka -- you just got yourself some super glue.
  • 13 of 13: Use the broken crank with the super glue.  Voila!  Look at the crank; it's mended!  You've got a (repaired) super-glued broken crank in your inventory.
