Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin Hints
How do I prepare the sauce?
1 of 14: The sauce is made up of 10% Woodland Strawberry Jam, 40% Anchovy Extract, and 50% Mild Mustard.
2 of 14: The three ingredients can be collected in this room, in the cupboard on the wall, and on the table below it.
3 of 14: You will, however, need to measure out exact proportions.
4 of 14: The first step is to find out how much mustard you need to form 50% of the recipe.
5 of 14: Put a value of mustard seeds on one side of the scale and try values of anchovies until the scales balance.
6 of 14: You will find that 4 anchovies is the weight of 3 mustard portions.
7 of 14: Now do the same thing with the anchovies and the strawberries.
8 of 14: You will find that 2 anchovies weigh the same as 3 strawberries.
9 of 14: We need half of the recipe to be comprised of 10% strawberries and 40% anchovies.
10 of 14: So, increment the quantities until you get the right ratio.
11 of 14: If 2 anchovies and 3 strawberries is 1:1, then 16 anchovies and 6 strawberries is 4:1, which is the ratio we need.
12 of 14: Place 16 anchovies and 6 strawberries on one side of the scale -- this is 50% of our total.
13 of 14: Now add mustard seeds to the other side until the scale balances -- you will need 15 of them.
14 of 14: Take all of the ingredients off the scale and place them onto the empty plate at the right to complete this task.
