Keepsake Hints

What do each of the controls do?

  • 1 of 7: If using a control is supposed to move a weight up, and the weight is at the bottom, then the weight will move up as expected.  However, if the control is supposed to move a weight up, and the weight is at the top, then the weight cannot move any further up and it will appear as though the control doesn't do anything at all.
  • 2 of 7: Over each weight are three controls.  The wheel in the center (of both the left and the right controls) will lift the weight below the wheel all the way to the top.  It doesn't matter if the weight is all the way at the bottom or if it is part of the way up already, it will still go all the way to the top.
  • 3 of 7: The outside levers (the left-most lever on the left and the right-most lever on the right) will cause the weight below the lever to drop all the way to the bottom.  Once again, it does not matter if the weight is all the way at the top or only part way up -- it will still go all the way down.
  • 4 of 7: The inner levers (the right lever over the left weight, and the left lever over the right weight) will each move both weights.
  • 5 of 7: The right lever over the left weight moves the left weight down 3 and moves the right weight up 3.
  • 6 of 7: The left lever over the right weight moves the left weight up 3 and the right weight down 3.
  • 7 of 7: It is important to realize that if a weight is less than 3 spaces from the top, then using the lever that should move that weight up will still move the weights, only it will be less than 3 spaces of movement.  Let's say, for example, that the left weight was in its lowest position and the weight on the right was 2 spaces from the bottom.  In this example, using the lever that will move the left weight up and the right weight down (the inner lever over the right weight) would result in only 2 spaces of movement for both weights.  Movement stops when one of the weights cannot move any further.
