The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How does this number-lock puzzle work?
1 of 6: Move the cursor slowly back and forth across the row of numbers to see that they highlight in pairs.
2 of 6: If you click on a highlighted pair, it'll become selected, and will then be highlighted in blue rather than green.
3 of 6: You can click above or below a blue-highlighted pair to slide it up or down, provided there are no other numbers in the way of that move.
4 of 6: Once a number pair is on the upper or lower track, it can be slid left and right -- again, provided that no other numbers (or the end of the track) are in the way.
5 of 6: Look on the right side of the puzzle display, a ways below the numbers, to see an engraving of an eight-digit number.
6 of 6: That's the goal number. You'll need to rearrange all of the sliding numbers until they're in that order.
