Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints
I've reached a switch! How do I turn it off?
1 of 4: This is another type of puzzle the Her Interactive people just love. Not me.
2 of 4: Pull every switch until you find one that stays down. That's the first switch in the sequence. Now pull that switch and every other switch until both of them stay down. And so on.
3 of 4: So let's say you pressed every switch, and the only one that stays down is the third one from the left; we'll call it switch 3. Now press switch 3 and 1, then 3 and 2, then 3 and 4, until you find that 7 stays down. Now press 3, 7, 1, then 3, 7, 2, then 3, 7, 4, and so on.
4 of 4: Eventually all eight switches will stay down, and that means the power is off for that laser panel. Save your game and keep going -- only three more lasers to go!
