The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I solve this lockpicking puzzle?
1 of 6: As before, there's a little diagram of how the pin needs to be bent scratched onto the lock mechanism's back "wall."
2 of 6: Use it to figure out how to bend the four movable segments of your hairpin.
3 of 6: It's a little more complicated this time, since some moves will have to wait until other moves are done. This is because the pin can only be bent so far up or down, and no farther.
4 of 6: For example, you'll need to bend the pin's leftmost movable segment up twice. However, you can't do that at first.
5 of 6: Bend it up once, then bend the segment to the right of it down at least once, then bend the first segment up again.
6 of 6: Other than that, this lockpicking puzzle is pretty much as easy as the previous one.
