Jack the Ripper Hints
How do I compare the letters?
1 of 7: If you want to compare two pieces of paper in real life, what do you do?
2 of 7: You put them together and hold them up to the light.
3 of 7: That's the low tech way. There's a tool in this room that will let you do it without eye strain.
4 of 7: The large white table by the door is labeled "luminous board," or what we'd call a light table.
5 of 7: Zoom in on the light table, then put the two letters on it.
6 of 7: For confirmation, you need to find two complete words that are exactly the same.
7 of 7: Concentrate on the greeting and the closing.
