The Secret Files: Tunguska Hints

I'm on the roof of the train but that window is closed. How can I get it open?

  • 1 of 14: You can't reach it, but maybe you can encourage the person inside to open it.
  • 2 of 14: See the two pipes directly above the window?
  • 3 of 14: They let fresh air into the room.
  • 4 of 14: Maybe if the pipes were blocked, the person in the carriage might have reason to open their window?
  • 5 of 14: Well, we could use the hose from the vacuum cleaner to block the pipes.
  • 6 of 14: But unless the air is made a little less breathable in some way, the window isn't going to need opening.
  • 7 of 14: Did you open the vacuum cleaner yet?
  • 8 of 14: If you did, then opened the bag, you'll have a tuft of animal hair.
  • 9 of 14: Notice that the two pipes have separate descriptions once you examine them.
  • 10 of 14: The left one is an "out" pipe, that blows the air out of the room.
  • 11 of 14: The right one is an "in" pipe, which is connected to an air conditioner (and heater).
  • 12 of 14: If you heated up that animal hair, it would burn, definitely.
  • 13 of 14: Put the hair in the right pipe, then join the pipes with the vacuum cleaner hose.
  • 14 of 14: Sidorkin will open his window and leave his room.
