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 five movable segments of your hairpin.
3 of 6: As with the last lockpicking puzzle, some moves will have to wait until other moves are done because the pin can only be bent so far up or down.
4 of 6: For example, you'll need to bend the pin's leftmost movable segment down twice. However, you can't do that at first.
5 of 6: Bend it down once, then bend the segment to the right of it up at least twice, then bend the first segment down again.
6 of 6: Despite the extra segment, this lockpicking puzzle is pretty much as easy as the previous two.
