The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I locate the bombs using the radar?
1 of 13: Click on the switch that's near the bottom right corner of the panel.
2 of 13: That'll cause the radar to go around once and briefly show four blue lights that denote the bombs' locations.
3 of 13: You'll then need to click on the four exact spots that the radar showed the blue lights on without making any mistakes.
4 of 13: You can reset the whole thing and get another look at the blue lights by using the switch again.
5 of 13: This is a simple memory puzzle, though if your memory for detail is as lousy as mine is these days, you'll want to "cheat" a bit.
6 of 13: The four blue lights are always in the same positions, so hit the PRINT SCRN key to do a screen capture right after the fourth blue light shows up on a radar sweep.
7 of 13: Pause the game and task-switch back to Windows, then run Windows Paint and paste the screen capture into it.
8 of 13: You can then switch back and forth between the game (without exiting the radar screen) and Windows Paint, which will enable you to easily select the right locations one at a time.
9 of 13: Read on for a description of where each light is if you don't want to use the screen capture method.
10 of 13: Hit the switch to do a radar sweep, then stare at the spot where the lowest blue light appears (or touch the screen just below it with your finger) so you can click on it as soon as you get a cursor.
11 of 13: The next-lowest light is in the fifth slot from the left on the row that's just below the row that goes under the spot where the rotating radar mechanism is fastened down.
12 of 13: The next light up is in the second slot from the left on the row that starts just above the top left screw.
13 of 13: To find the final light's spot, go to the right end of the row with the previous light on it, then find the fourth slot from the right. Don't click there, but go up two rows and then click.
