What is different the third time?
1 of 16: The third time you are in this area, and need to unlock the gate, you will note that the third of the blue bar lights is lit.
2 of 16: In addition, there are new colors to the lights underneath the buttons -- you should now see blue and/or orange lights lit.
3 of 16: The principal is still the same; but yet another "variant" has been added to the mix.
4 of 16: What changed from the first time to the second time, when doing this puzzle?
5 of 16: Starting with only addition (green lights), subtraction was later added (red lights).
6 of 16: What might a blue or orange light indicate?
7 of 16: If green meant "add", and red meant "subtract"...
8 of 16: ... then blue and orange could, intuitively, mean multiply and divide.
9 of 16: But which is which?
10 of 16: You'll need to use a little intuition here (since the colors alone don't indicate any preference).
11 of 16: Try both ways (e.g., blue meaning divide, or blue meaning multiply).
12 of 16: You should find that only one way will work, to provide a result that is in the range of the buttons (i.e., 3-12). If you inadvertently reverse the meaning of the two colors, it will typically result in either a number that is too large (if misusing the multiplication), or a fraction (if misusing the division).
13 of 16: The correct result is that blue = "multiply" and orange = "divide"..
14 of 16: Apply the same arithmetic operations as before, but now -- instead of just adding and subtracting, you'll need to multiple and/or divide.
15 of 16: While the puzzles in this "round" focus on multiplication and division (blue and orange lights), you still may see some addition/subtraction puzzles (green and red lights). Continue to solve them as before.
16 of 16: There is one more difference the third time around. For every incorrect answer, the gold cover will now close *three* steps, rather than just one. As before, correct answers still only open it one step. So incorrect answers become more costly.
