Safecracker Hints
How do I use the key weighing machine?
1 of 10: On the other side of the room, there are some shelves. Read the book on the shelf, for complete instructions to using the machine.
2 of 10: The goal is to use the machine to determine which key is the heaviest.
3 of 10: Each key is assigned a number, based on its position in the tray.
4 of 10: For each key, there is a switch and a button. Move the switch left or right to tip the keys into the weighing trays at the left or right. When you know which key is the heaviest, push the button which corresponds to the correct key.
5 of 10: It is only possible to weigh the keys two times, before the machine reshuffles the keys to new positions.
6 of 10: For the first three keys, tip them to the left side.
7 of 10: Tip the next three keys to the right.
8 of 10: Leave the last two keys where they are.
9 of 10: Weigh the keys, by moving the W switch up.
