The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft Hints
How can I fix the school's air conditioning unit?
1 of 18: Speak with Mark, the school handyman, inside the utility room.
2 of 18: He will tell you that the air conditioner isn't broken, it's simply run out of anti-freeze.
3 of 18: Looks like we're going to need to find some.
4 of 18: Think of something else that uses anti-freeze, besides air conditioners.
5 of 18: Something automotive, perhaps?
6 of 18: Cars definitely use anti-freeze. Have you seen a car anywhere?
7 of 18: There's one right outside the Spencer mansion, and if you take a look at the underside of it, you'll see that it's dripping anti-freeze onto the ground.
8 of 18: You're going to need to find a small receptacle to collect some of that with.
9 of 18: It's actually back at the high school.
10 of 18: And, it's right back in the utility room.
11 of 18: There's a small rubbish bin here. You can remove its lid.
12 of 18: Take that lid back to the car and use it with the dripping underside to collect some antifreeze.
13 of 18: Now we need a more suitable container for it, so we can pour it safely where it needs to go.
14 of 18: You'll find this around the school somewhere.
15 of 18: Somewhere that lots of substances are mixed.
16 of 18: Take a beaker from the science lab counter-top, and pour the anti-freeze into it (combine the two in your inventory).
17 of 18: You can now open the large white air-conditioner in the utility room, pop the top off the spout where the anti-freeze goes, and pour yours inside.
