The 7th Guest Hints
Spider Puzzle (Front Door)
1 of 7: A pattern is the key to solving this puzzle.
2 of 7: You should try filling in the gaps that are created when a spider moves from one point to another.
3 of 7: Or to be specific, make sure that a spider ends up on the same point that the last spider _started_ on.
4 of 7: In other words, take an example where point A is connected to points B and C.
5 of 7: Then put a spider on point A and move it to B.
6 of 7: You now want to start a spider on point C and move it to A. Repeat this pattern for all 8 points.
7 of 7: Or, if you number the points clockwise from 1 to 8 (it doesn't matter where you start the count), move a spider from 1 to 4, then 6 to 1, then 3 to 6, then 8 to 3, then 5 to 8, then 2 to 5, then 7 to 2.
