The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How does the box-opening puzzle work?
1 of 4: To open the box, you'll need to set all four of its dials to the correct number.
2 of 4: To change a dial's setting, click on it anywhere to turn it one number to the right.
3 of 4: The dials only turn one way, so if you want to change a dial's setting to be one less than it currently is, you'll have to click on it nine times.
4 of 4: You'll need to use the number sets that Watson noted down on the paper to figure out what each dial needs to be set to.
