The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
Where can I find a bomb-making plan?
1 of 6: Check the table that's in the center of the shed.
2 of 6: Examine it for a close-up, then check its bottom left corner to find a piece of paper.
3 of 6: Click on the paper to get a close-up of it, then wave the cursor around it to notice that pointing at its creases will highlight them, sometimes in pairs.
4 of 6: This is a paper-folding puzzle in which you'll need to figure out what series of folds to do in order to reveal the entire bomb plan at once.
5 of 6: There's no "undo" feature for folds, so if you realize you've folded it wrong, you'll have to hit the "Reset" button and start over.
6 of 6: Once you get the folds done correctly, the paper will be placed back in the bottom left corner of the table, where it can be clicked on at any time for a close-up. (Note that if you squint at it, you can read it without getting a close-up.)
