Myst IV: Revelation Hints
What is the interpretation for Rock?
1 of 15: To interpret the correct power code for Rock, you will need to reference more than one piece of paper.
2 of 15: Starting with the one at the top right of Sirrus' desk, we see that "Every partially successful rock test suggests 20 units of power TOTAL -- no more, no less".
3 of 15: That clue tells us that the three numbers of the power code must add up to 20.
4 of 15: Now to interpret the paper inside the desk. The bottom of the page says that the lab is mostly rock. So if there were "strong, earthquake-like tremors in lab", then that could indicate that Sirrus was close to finding the frequency that disrupts rock.
5 of 15: The top of the page of clues states that earthquake-like tremors were felt when "two of harmonies listed in musical chart were played."
6 of 15: There are many numbers on the musical chart. You'll need to figure out which combination is close to the correct one.
7 of 15: Using the total of 20 as your starting guide, look through the list of numbers for one set the is close to 20.
8 of 15: Next, study the notes to see if you can figure out any clues from what Sirrus wrote, in what order.
9 of 15: Notice that he seems to be working on something near the bottom. Some of the lists of three numbers include a repeat of two numbers.
10 of 15: Make note of which two numbers repeat the most, and combine that with the fact that the total should be 20, and you'll find a result that is close to one of the sets of numbers.
11 of 15: The two numbers that repeat the most are 10 and 5.
12 of 15: 10 and 5 add up to 15. The total should be 20, so the remaining number should be 5.
13 of 15: 5, 5, and 10 are the three numbers to use for the combination. This set of numbers is really close to one of the sets on the list.
14 of 15: Notice that Sirrus tried 10, 6, 6 earlier on the list.
15 of 15: Your answer is close to that, at 10, 5, 5.
