Sam & Max: Season 3 Hints

How do I get back off the wall?

  • 1 of 9: Well, what options do you have? About the only thing you can do is talk, and then only to Maximus and the guys who put you up here.
  • 2 of 9: Talk to the Guardians. Is there a way you can talk them into letting you get down?
  • 3 of 9: Try "Straight Talk," and they'll tell you they'll let you down if --
  • 4 of 9: -- you can answer a riddle. That doesn't sound too hard; Sameth has lots of different responses.
  • 5 of 9: Unfortunately, all of them are wrong, unless you spent some time in Old New York reading the funny papers.
  • 6 of 9: That is, go to The Sphunx Challenge (Reel 1), pick up the newspaper at the back of the theater, and take it to Natasha the mole woman to be translated.
  • 7 of 9: As you may have noticed, all of the comics she reads you have the same punchline. That's the one you want for the Guardians' riddle.
  • 8 of 9: The answer to the riddle is, "To slice the cucumber lengthwise." Once the molewoman has translated the comics for you, you'll have this as an option.
  • 9 of 9: Now that you know this, you can go back up onto the wall and get down again whenever you want.
