Nancy Drew 22: Trail of the Twister Hints
How do I fix the sensors?
1 of 8: The sensors are those antennae and stuff in the corn field, to the right of the sprinkler panel you were fixing yesterday.
2 of 8: As Nancy says, what you're trying to do here is direct the red light to the red sensor at the top right corner, and the blue light to the blue sensor at the right side, by moving the mirrors the lights reflect off of. Read to the end of this hint for a picture showing exactly how to do this.
3 of 8: This isn't as hard as you might think. Try flipping the first mirror the red light hits and see what happens.
4 of 8: If you turn it one way, the red light soars off the screen entirely; if you flip it the other way, it reflects off another mirror. Clearly, it needs to be turned the way that makes the light hit another mirror.
5 of 8: Do the same thing with the second mirror: flip it so the light hits another mirror rather than nothing at all. Continue this way until the red light hits the red sensor.
6 of 8: Do the same thing with the blue light. There is more than one way to set the mirrors to get the sensors working again, but the simplest way uses all the mirrors without the red and blue lights crossing or mixing.
7 of 8: If you get totally messed up and can't seem to make any progress at all, back away from the corn field to reset the puzzle and start over.
