Safecracker Hints
How do I use the pattern to open the safe?
1 of 7: Number each row of three Y's and upside down Y's, from left to right: one, two, three.
2 of 7: Make note of which Y, in each row of three, is different: number one, two, or three. Ignore the rows of Y's which are identical.
3 of 7: Number each of the flowers on the safe from one to three. It doesn't matter what number is assigned to which flower, as long as the same flower always has the same number.
4 of 7: Using the list of numbers, which was made from the list of Y's; start clicking on the flowers on the safe. The first number is 2, so click on the flower which you've called number 2.
5 of 7: Continue through the list of numbers, until you've entered all of them on the flowers.
6 of 7: The complete list of numbers is: 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1.
7 of 7: The flowers should now match the flowers in the top left corner of the safe.
