The 7th Guest Hints

Heart Maze (Bedroom on Right)

  • 1 of 19: This puzzle really isn't all that tough, as long as you work the maze backwards.
  • 2 of 19: You'll find that you really only have one choice as to the position of the switches if you work backwards -- the other position on each switch will probably block the flow of blood completely.
  • 3 of 19: If you want me to spell out the solution, it's coming up.  But first a word on how I've drawn the answer.  Draw vertical lines along the walls of the blood vessels (the vertical walls, that is).  I'll label the lines 1 to 14 from left to right.  Then I'll list the position of each switch whose pivot point is along these vertical lines from top to bottom.
