The Watchmaker Hints
How do I operate the machine?
1 of 4: Walk across the room and take a good look at the machine. In particular, notice the positions of the dials.
2 of 4: Write down the positions (2, 7, 4, 11, 9). You'll need this information later.
3 of 4: Now, pull the handle, and look at the dials again. Note their new position (6, 6, 6, 6, 6).
4 of 4: Finally, press the button to blow a hole in the wall.
