Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock Hints
What was the point of the design in the lobby clock?
1 of 2: It bears a faint resemblance to the arrangement of mirrors in the carriage house, so I think it's supposed to be a hint to the four mirrors puzzle. It also shows that the beam that hits the radiometer will be coming from the lower left mirror -- but since you can't really decipher it till after you've actually done the mirrors, it's not much help as a hint.
2 of 2: If you didn't see it, restore a game when "Jane" was out of the lobby and go look at the pendulum of the clock behind her.
