Nightlong Hints
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
1 of 35: I bet you expected some silly crack about 7 years bad luck...
2 of 35: Sorry to disappoint you.
3 of 35: The solution to the problem is fairly logical. You must think carefully about what you would do in a real life situation if you wanted to "write" something on a mirror.
4 of 35: The parchment (on the right) contains a valuable clue.
5 of 35: Read the parchment carefully -- I hope you haven't "missed" the clue...
6 of 35: Missed = Mist
7 of 35: Have you got a mirror in your own bathroom? Does it ever get misted up?
8 of 35: Mist comes from steam, so you will need to make steam.
9 of 35: What causes steam?
10 of 35: Water and heat.
11 of 35: Do you see any water around here?
12 of 35: So far so good. You need a large container for the water.
13 of 35: The container (i.e., the vessel) that the water is flowing into is ideal for your purposes.
14 of 35: Okay, now you must heat up the vessel.
15 of 35: You can't do that while the water is flowing, so find a way to stop the flow.
16 of 35: It stops if you put your foot on the tile under the vessel. However, there's also another way to stop the flow.
17 of 35: Come on! Don't be a numb"skull"!
18 of 35: The skull is about the same weight as your foot.
19 of 35: Right, let's get back to the heating process.
20 of 35: You must find an object that can be ignited, and something to light it with.
21 of 35: When last were you at church?
22 of 35: I hope you didn't leave the torch there.
23 of 35: Have you opened every drawer in the game?
24 of 35: The ticket office in the hut (at the amusement park) has 2 drawers. Have you checked inside both of them?
25 of 35: You'll find some matches in one of the drawers.
26 of 35: You can't light the torch while you're holding it!
27 of 35: You need another hint like you need a "hole in the head"!
28 of 35: What did you notice about the skull?
29 of 35: It has a hole in it, into which the torch fits perfectly.
30 of 35: Once you have assembled and lit your "heating device" take another look at the vessel -- it's glowing from the heat!
31 of 35: If only you could start the water flow again...
32 of 35: You'll probably "kick" yourself for not working this out without another hint.
33 of 35: No purpose would be served by kicking yourself...
34 of 35: ...try kicking the skull instead!
35 of 35: The numbers on the mirror are "7 8 4 5".
