REAH Hints
The Lift Puzzle
1 of 10: Going up in the lift is easy -- just pull the handle.
2 of 10: To get to the tower, go up to the 3rd level.
3 of 10: Once the puzzles in the tower have been completed, you need to go down again.
4 of 10: What goes up, does not always come down!
5 of 10: The lift mechanism consists of 11 colored balloons.
6 of 10: To get the lift to go down you must adjust the position of each balloon.
7 of 10: You can only do this from inside the lift.
8 of 10: If you listened carefully to the alchemist you would have heard him talk about "greens up".
9 of 10: You must therefore get all the green balloons in the "up" position, and the red ones in the "down" position.
10 of 10: Adjusting the position of 1 balloon causes certain other balloons to also move. You must find the correct sequence in which to adjust the balloons.
