Still Life Hints
Can you explain how all the tumblers are related?
1 of 5: The next level of help would be to know which tumblers affect which other tumblers. This information is fairly easy to gather for the early (leftmost) tumblers; but it becomes much more difficult as you move through the puzzle.
2 of 5: The clues in this hint will again refer to the diagram of the lock tumblers, so you may wish to have it handy.
3 of 5: Beginning with the blue section of tumblers:
Tumbler "A" affects tumbler "J". Tumbler "B" affects tumbler "J". Tumbler "C" is the master tumbler, and affects all of the blue tumblers. Tumbler "J" affects tumbler "A". Tumbler "K" affects tumbler "A".
4 of 5: In the tan (middle) section of tumblers:
Tumbler "D" affects tumbler "O". Tumbler "E" affects tumbler "M". Tumbler "F" is the master tumbler, and affects all of the tan tumblers. Tumbler "L" affects tumbler "D". Tumbler "M" affects tumbler "G".
5 of 5: In the red (right) section of tumblers;
Tumbler "G" affects tumbler "N". Tumbler "H" affects tumbler "I". Tumbler "I" is the master tumbler, and affects all of the red tumblers. Tumbler "N" affects tumbler "L". Tumbler "O" affects tumbler "H".
