Rhiannon: Curse Of The Four Branches Hints

What can I do with the grass trimmer in Malcolm's workshop?

  • 1 of 11: You're going to need to get the thing working so that you can remove the cutter. You'll need it later. That's the purpose of this little puzzle.
  • 2 of 11: You'll find a hint on how the trimmer works inside Malcolm's study on the ground floor of the house.
  • 3 of 11: It says on the note on the leaflet in the to-do list that the oil needs to be at a ratio of 20:1.
  • 4 of 11: So, in the workshop, pick up the oil measuring flask from the shelf.
  • 5 of 11: You're going to need to work out the right levels of oil and petrol to make the trimmer start.
  • 6 of 11: First off, take the cap off the trimmer so we can pour anything into it.
  • 7 of 11: Now, use the flask once on the oil barrel and pour that into the trimmer.
  • 8 of 11: Now repeat the process with the petrol to make the correct ratio.
  • 9 of 11: The ratio is 20:1, and reading the measurements on the flask you can see that there would need to be five times as much petrol as oil.
  • 10 of 11: So, after pouring in one flask of oil, pour in five flasks of petrol.
  • 11 of 11: Now close the cap and pull the handle on top of the trimmer. This will enable you to take the cutter.
