Nancy Drew 27: The Deadly Device Hints
What do I do with what I just got?
1 of 5: When you put the magnets in the right place, the pigeon gives you a message --
2 of 5: -- "1902 patent." Huh?
3 of 5: You may not have noticed, but the last two pages of the book about Tesla in Nancy's locker list some of Tesla's patents.
4 of 5: If you trot down there, you'll see that Tesla did indeed have a patent in 1902, and its number is 1,119,732. (This is accurate, by the way. If you look up that patent, you'll even recognize the drawing. Zounds!)
5 of 5: It must be an important number for Niko to have hidden it under so many levels of protection. Make a note of it, and if you come across something that requires a password with seven numbers in it, remember it.
