Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I get the wires reconnected correctly?
1 of 6: Even though you can't see any wires to use at first, they're there.
2 of 6: All you have to do to make one appear is click on one of the holes on the board that has a dark brown background, then click on another one that's in a straight line or a straight diagonal from the first one.
3 of 6: Then click on the next one you want a wire to go to, and then the next one, and so on.
4 of 6: The goal is to connect up all of the holes that have dark brown backgrounds. Lines can cross over each other, but can't double back or skip over empty brown-background holes.
5 of 6: You have to do this on three different boards, each of which is a bit more difficult than the last one.
6 of 6: See below for graphic solutions to each of the three boards.
