The Moment of Silence Hints
How do I do this?
1 of 13: Look around for ways to get your tooth out of here.
2 of 13: If you just dropped it or threw it over the wall, they'd find it quickly and realize you'd escaped, and you'd never get away alive.
3 of 13: But what if someone, or some creature, was to "escape" with your tooth attached?
4 of 13: Remember Mr. Huntington's carrier pigeons? You need something similar here.
5 of 13: There's a little magpie who's always scavenging for crumbs near the door that leads back into the prison.
6 of 13: You can't just grab it, though -- it needs a reason to come to you.
7 of 13: NOTE: If you scare it off, just enter the prison and then re-enter the yard to get it back.
8 of 13: Do you have anything that it might want?
9 of 13: It's looking for bread crumbs. Why not offer it some?
10 of 13: Some bread appears on a plate on the little table in Peter's cell after the first time you visit the yard. If you didn't pick it up earlier, go get it now.
11 of 13: Offer some bread to the magpie by clicking it on him.
12 of 13: Then click the tooth on the magpie in inventory to use the string to tie the tooth to the bird's leg.
13 of 13: Then click the magpie on the "night sky" hotspot to release it.
