Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin Hints
How can I crack the curator's safe?
1 of 14: This is relatively complicated, but can be done by paying close attention to the curator's note.
2 of 14: As you can see, the red arrow points clockwise, and the blue arrow points anti-clockwise.
3 of 14: There is also a value written in red, 15.
4 of 14: Move the red dial of the safe to that color and value, red 15.
5 of 14: Now, pay close attention to the positions of the four blue arrows, and where they are pointed now you've moved the red arrow to the right place.
6 of 14: You have Blue 75, Red 45, Blue 30, and Red 30.
7 of 14: The numbers are degree increments. A circle makes up 360 degrees, each quarter making up 90 degrees, and a sixth of each quarter making up one 15 degree interval.
8 of 14: You must turn the four outer dials in 15-degree increments to form 75, 45, 30, and 30 degrees (from I to IV).
9 of 14: However, you must also remember that the red numbers must be turned clockwise from 0, and the blue numbers anti-clockwise from 0.
10 of 14: Firstly, turn the dial of the first lock, I. It needs to be turned anti-clockwise, as it is blue, a total of 75 degrees. 75 is five 15-degree intervals, so turn it five notches upward.
11 of 14: Secondly, turn the dial of the second lock, II. It needs to be turned clockwise, as it is red, a total of 45 degrees. 45 is three 15-degree intervals, so turn it three notches downward.
12 of 14: Thirdly, turn the dial of the third lock, III. It needs to be turned anti-clockwise, as it is blue, a total of 30 degrees. 30 is two 15-degree intervals, so turn it two notches upward.
13 of 14: Finally, turn the dial of the fourth lock, IV. It needs to be turned clockwise, as it is red, a total of 30 degrees. 30 is two 15-degree intervals, so turn it two notches downward.
14 of 14: If everything is correctly positioned, the safe will open automatically.
