Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower Hints
What is the solution to the Sextant Puzzle?
1 of 6: This puzzle is behind a "sly rabbit" plaque above the library fireplace.
2 of 6: There are 2 buttons (green at the top; red in the middle) and a movable needle, which points to numbers at the bottom. The red button is the "cancel" or "reset" button. The green is the "select" or "set" button. Move the needle using arrow cursors that appear on the left and right of the numbered bar. (The right side arrow will appear after you have moved the needle over a bit.)
3 of 6: Basically you will need to move the needle to the correct numbers, pressing the "select" (green) button after each one. When you have done it correctly, you will hear the distinct sound of something sliding open.
4 of 6: The numbers are written on a piece of paper and hidden in the library.
5 of 6: Open the globe that sits on a shelf to the left of the fireplace (and right of the door).
