The Mystery of the Nautilus Hints

How can I divert the beam of light from the laser?

1 of 11: As any good magician knows, "It's all done with mirrors."
2 of 11: You'll need to find a way to shine the beam out of the Laboratory, into the Grand Corridor, reflect it down the Corridor, and onto the robot.
3 of 11: A mirror would certainly help.
4 of 11:
There is a mirror on the sink in the Guest Room.
- Where do I put the mirror?
5 of 11:
With the mirror in place, you'll still need to make sure that the beam of light gets to the mirror.
- How do I get the laser to shine beyond the Laboratory?
- How do I get the laser to shine into the hall?
6 of 11: All that remains is to deflect the beam of light from the Laboratory, so that it shines down the length of the Grand Corridor, onto the mirror at the far end.
7 of 11: You'll need to find some other kind of mirror.
8 of 11: There's not another mirror to be found, so you'll need to improvise.
9 of 11: Have you run across anything else that is shiny?
10 of 11: Or that might have been shiny at one time?
11 of 11:
Use the metal plate.
