Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand Hints

Please give me an example!

  • A dot equals 1.

    A (vertical) up and down bar equals 5.

    Ignore anything that doesn't look like a complete dot or bar.
    The dots are *always* on the left of the bars.
    Ignore any other symbols or designs on the glyph with bars and/or dots.

    For example, if you see 4 dots and 3 bars:

    4 dots = 4x1 = 4
    3 bars = 3x5 = 15

    Add the 2 together -- 4+15 = 19
