Safecracker Hints
How do I open the ship, using the piece of paper?
1 of 9: The piece of paper does not have the entire maritime alphabet printed on it. However, it does have everything needed to open the ship.
2 of 9: Each flag on the paper has a number or letter beside it.
3 of 9: Use the paper with flags to decode the flags on the ship.
4 of 9: Look at the left-most flag on the ship and find that flag on the paper. The letter right beside the first flag is an R.
5 of 9: Work through the remaining flags on the ship, marking down the corresponding letter, or number, for each one.
6 of 9: Not all the flags on the ship are pictured on the paper, but once most of the letters are decoded, it is pretty easy to figure out the missing letters.
7 of 9: The message represented by flags is (unknown letters are marked with an underscore "_" ): R_G_TTWOLE_T_OURR_G_T2RETURNTO5.
8 of 9: The actual message is: right two, left four, right 2, return to 5.
9 of 9: Enter the combination (Right 2, Left 4, Right 2, Left 5) using the dial on the front of the ship.
