Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
Step two: Rotate RIGHT
1 of 4: Once step one (tumble) is complete, and the cursor now shows the letter "R", then you're ready to go on to step two.
2 of 4: The instructions on the back of the lock package say: "Step 2: Rotate RIGHT to first number. Turn dial to right (clock-wise) until you have the first number of the combination aligned with the upper notch of the lock face."
3 of 4: Click and hold the mouse button. Drag the dial of the lock to the right (clock-wise), until the first number of the combination is exactly at the top center of the lock. Do NOT turn the dial past this point; otherwise, you'll need to start over. Let go of the mouse button.
4 of 4: Beside the cursor, there should now be a letter "L". Continue with step three of the instructions.
