Myst V: End of Ages Hints

Can you just tell me how to set 80 on the panels?

  • One combination (but not the only one) that will work is as follows:

    1) Station to the left with 4 rings (the 20's) -- show both red circles
    2) Second station with 3 rings (the 15's) -- show both red circles
    3) Third station with 2 rings (the 10's) -- show one red circle
    4) Fourth station with 1 ring (the 5's) -- show neither red circle

    This gives 2 * 20 + 2 * 15 + 10 = 80.

    Press the button in between the stations to raise the pedestal.
