Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
Step one: TUMBLE
1 of 5: The instructions on the back of the lock package say: "Step 1: TUMBLE (clear) the lock. Turn the dial at least one full revolution in either direction".
2 of 5: While examining the lock closely, move the cursor over the dial. The cursor should change, and should now show the letter "T".
3 of 5: The "T" refers to TUMBLE.
4 of 5: Click and hold the mouse button. Drag the dial of the lock around at least one complete circle, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Then let go of the mouse button.
5 of 5: Beside the cursor, there should now be a letter "R". Continue with step two of the instructions.
