Zork: Grand Inquisitor Hints
How do the dam controls work?
1 of 3: Experiment with them and watch what happens when you press each of the buttons.
2 of 3: The next clue specifies exactly what each of the buttons do.
3 of 3: The blue button reverses the positions of the first and the second gates. (If the first gate is open and the second gate is closed, pushing the button will cause the first gate to close and the second to open.) The yellow button reverses the positions of the third and the fourth gates. The red button reverses the positions of the first and the third gates. The brown button reverses the positions of the second and fourth gates.
