Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints
How can I set this calendar?
1 of 8: Do you remember the translation you found in Henrik's notes?
2 of 8: This date is covered in one of the exhibits nearby. It should be the month that Pacal ascended to the throne.
3 of 8: According to the Rutherford slab (garden exhibit J), the proper setting is 6 Lamat.
4 of 8: As on the other calendar puzzle, you must move the inner ring and the outer ring. (You can go back inside the temple on the ground floor to look at the Lamat tile again.)
5 of 8: For the inner ring, remember how the number six is drawn in dots and dashes?
6 of 8: The number six is one dot on the left and one bar on the right (5 and 1). Dial it in.
7 of 8: Lamat's glyph icon should be rotated to line up with the six you just set.
8 of 8: When you get it right, you will hear the "Click" and something else will happen to the monolith.
