The Locked Box

[Hoju]

The rock puzzle gives you the password to door one (see icon)

The number puzzle gives the password for door two (see icon)

"Step by step" tells you to take one step at a time.

"Bridge the gap" tells you to move from one edge of the board to the other.

PW1 gives you the direction to traverse the board.

Clock puzzle gives you a place to start (12:00).
PW2 gives you the first symbol (based on clock) and the direction of the symbols.

It helps if you draw on a paper the circular jigsaw with the symbols on it. When you finish it, don't press the blue button, just wait a second.

Hoju, I don't get it - translate what columns individually? I only see one column that can be translated - the Mayan symbols. And then what - I'm assuming that the rocks represent 1 and 0, but what position, and how do you input 16 with only 2 rocks?

[Hoju]

In Mayan writing, the dot=1, bar=5, and 20 is represented by a football-shaped symbol (American football, that is). Therefore, that top number is 13, not 32 (2 bars = 2x5 = 10; 3 dots = 3x1 = 3; 10+3 = 13).

So, if we add all the numbers up, we get 44. Or, if we use the Mayan base-20 system, we get 44,225,641. Can anybody do anything with this?

football/basket symbol means zero.

A 20 is represented by a lone dot.

My answer still stands as correct.

The left column and right column need to be translated from a binary number to a decimal number

solve the color puzzle (light them all up). from there, simply transpose each column into its decimal representation

I went to wikipedia and ever binary number has 7 digits and there are only 6 in each column... Am I wrong or do I just not know what I am doing?

I gave the hint earlier... read the older posts

What rocks solve the puzzle? I gave the answer earlier and won't give it again. However, I will comment on your answer.

[Nicolica]

I don't get it.

So that means that

you start with the spiral in the upper right corner, move left across the board and click the symbols in the order spiral, bullseye, arches and 3 spheres, right? I can't figure out what but something doesn't add up when I try to use that solution.

I don't get it.

post your solution to the rock puzzle (light them all up) and we will take it from there.

You are going to have to look ahead a little more than that. If you start there, you will be stuck in three moves or so. There is another place to start.

Note: you can go in any direction so long as you do not repeat a slot and you follow the pattern of the jigsaw pieces in a <PWD#2> direction

I'm out. All the answers have been posted. You just need to go back and look.

Just to let you know:

The symbol is actually a 'shell'. You can write the numbers with natural things, stones, sticks and shells.

[Lil Punkin]

In trying to figure out the binary are does it refer to the numbers in the columns. does the left column refer to all odd numbers and the right even and once you have found the binary and converted it, do you just click on those rocks once you have all the colours lit???

[wiseguy]

okey I don't get the hex puzzle!
no way!

I know you are supposed to do it clockwise, only the 4 symbols from the puzzle, start with the 3 circles,.... but I' only getting frustrated!

pleaze help!
thanx!

[SkiColorado1616]

i can't figure out these puzzles

[saint-j]

I need help with the numbers puzzle I read the other hints, but I just cant find the right order!!!!
Pls, anybody

Remember this clue :

Each area delimited by the red lines (background) contains the same number. An incomplete coloured circle means the piece(s) is (are) on an edge. The blunts help you too.

I am still stuck on the last puzzle

I start the sequence from the right with the symbol with 3 circles then trace a path in the sequence given by the clues (3 circles)-(spiral)-(bull's eye)-(entangled c's) until I reach the left side but it still doesn't work. For this I have to select more than one symbol in some columns. Do I have to include another symbol in the path ?

no just the four given you have the sequence right, and you can have more than 1 symbol in each line, i think you end on the same as you started, and dont press the button at the end, it takes a few seconds to react if you have it right.
