Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake Hints
Solving the Envelope-Sorting Puzzle (Seniors)
1 of 5: This is what the box looks like with the years translated, but not yet sorted (before any envelopes are moved):
4 of 5: Following are the exact moves to solve the puzzle.
5 of 5: Below is a diagram of the wooden box showing all the envelopes. The diagram has numbered the envelopes starting in the bottom left corner, working up the first column, then moving to the bottom of the next column and working up, continuing until all twenty of the envelopes are numbered. Next to each of these numbers is the required move, in parenthesis. The "(4)" written next to the first envelope means "swap the envelope found at position number 4 with the one found here." If the entire move is omitted, you do not swap an envelope here; the correct one is already in position. For this particular solution, it is important to work in the order the envelopes are numbered below, and not worry if you see the same move more than once (this is because you swap envelopes with every move, so the moves listed here will not refer to the correct envelope if you were to work in some other order).
