Runaway: A Road Adventure Hints
How do I operate Joshua's device?
1 of 14: This is a rather well known puzzle, which you might have seen before.
2 of 14: Pay close attention to the rules of the game: you have to play five different notes, in a specific order.
3 of 14: Upon each attempt, Joshua will come back and tell you how many of the notes were correct, and how many were played at the correct time (relative to the other notes).
4 of 14: Using this information, you have to deduce correct notes, and the correct order in which they must be played.
5 of 14: This is probably easiest to do if you write down the notes on each try, and the information that Joshua gives you after the attempt.
6 of 14: Here are the correct notes (in no particular order):
7 of 14: C -- E -- G -- A -- B
8 of 14: Here is the correct order, one note at a time:
9 of 14: The first note is C.
10 of 14: The second note is G.
11 of 14: The third note is E.
12 of 14: The fourth note is B.
13 of 14: The fifth note is A.
14 of 14: If you've entered the correct sequence, the aliens will come and abduct Joshua.
