Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I pick this door's lock?
1 of 5: By moving the crazily-bent nail around.
2 of 5: To do that, click and hold, then move the mouse left and right. (Note that the nail moves in the direction opposite to the way you're moving the mouse.)
3 of 5: It's hard to figure out exactly how the nail should be moved. You might want to just move it left and right at random to see if you can get lucky.
4 of 5: Otherwise, read below for a quick solution.
5 of 5: If you move the nail to the right so that it's at about a 45-degree angle, and then release it, the door should open. If it doesn't, try adjusting the nail's position.
