Safecracker Hints
What if one set of three keys is heavier than the other?
1 of 6: Reset the machine by moving the W switch down.
2 of 6: Reweigh two of the keys in the group of heavier keys.
3 of 6: Tip one key to the left, and one to the right. Leave the third key where it is. Push the W switch up to weigh again.
4 of 6: If they keys weigh the same, then the one left in the middle tray is the heaviest. Otherwise, the machine will show you which one is the heavy key.
5 of 6: Reset the keys to their original position, by pushing the W key down.
6 of 6: Select the correct key, by pressing the numbered button which corresponds to the position of the heavy key.
