Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure Hints

1 of 8: First you need to find the missing wheel.
2 of 8: It's in a safe in The Library, which is up here on the second floor.
3 of 8: Now that you have all the wheels, give one a spin to see what happens.
4 of 8: Oh, fudge; each wheel turns different bars in different directions. How very annoying!
5 of 8: If you want to work this one out yourself, you'll need to turn each wheel multiple times to see what its cycle is, then plan out which ones you're going to turn when. However, you might want to know that you can solve this puzzle without turning *all* the wheels.
6 of 8: Try it, for example, just turning the wheels on the left and leaving the ones on the right alone.
7 of 8: There are lots of ways to solve this puzzle, but here's how I did it:
8 of 8: Turn the wheel on the top left four times. Turn the wheel on the middle left three times. Turn the wheel on the bottom left seven times. And now you're in The Closet.
