For each pair of numbers, consider whether one of the arithmetic operators could be used to produce any of the answers you have memorized.°L If you don't find the answer using the number presently showing on the first block, rotate it one position, and try again.

If it "snaps" into position as you place it you can be confident that it won't have to be moved again.▀L Now fit the other pieces around it, using a combination of visualization and trial and error. Don't worry if you have difficulty at first visualizing the way the pieces will connect when rotated: you will quickly improve.ÇL Incidentally, the freeware game Oktagon, available on our web-site, includes a somewhat more elaborate version of this puzzle.BL L=-1 T=-1 *Click the Back button to return to the previous page.@# Gnomeland1 -L D=-1 *GnomelandP D=-46 gnomland[L L=91 D=44 If you are having trouble finding Gnomeland, here is how it looks from the air.L *Other topics:R1Thieves: The gnomes keep stealing my possessions!><4 GnomeNoPlace: There doesn't seem to be anything to do here!C>4 GnomeHelp: The hint in the game said the gnomes would help.

# MonMap -+MonMap2&>L D=-1 *Please give me more hints for helping Brother Leopold.╨L The map details the main floor of the Monastery. You entered at the south (bottom) end of the map, by going into the Entrance Room from the Courtyard (the location where you landed after using the Machine).åL You next tilted Neptune's trident (A) to open the first inner door, then passed between Neptune and a mermaid (B) into a short hall.▒L After tweaking Jove's nose (C) to open the next door, you came to the Control Room, with the blue cage sitting over the Control Wheel (D). There is a balcony on the west wall.╢L The "What should I do next?" hint in this room will help you with the next stage of a complete Monastery walk-through. If you're still stuck, use the Continue button for more help.BL L=-1 T=-1 *Click the Back button to return to the previous page.@ # MonMap2 -+MonMap3&HL D=15 *Step 1 is to raise the blue cage over the the Control Wheel (D).yL To do this, you have to reach the lever (E) on the Control Room balcony. Upon your first arrival in the Control Room...ΦL Start with a side-trip: lower the drawbridge over the Chasm (J) by clicking the Windlass (I). Next rebalance the scales of Justice (G). This opens the doors to the Bell Tower and to Leopold's Chamber, incidentally freeing Leopold.╔L Enter the Bell Tower, and go up the stairs, closing the door behind you to block Leopold. Go down the hall and through the curtain, raise the lever, then go back down the stairs and re-open the door.┼L Now mount the stairs again, letting Leopold follow, but this time turn right, and go through the curtain onto the Bell Tower balcony. Shinny down the bell-rope (H) and return to the Control Room.BL L=-1 T=-1 *Click the Back button to return to the previous page.@ # MonMap3 -+MonMap4&FL D=15 *Step 2 is to visit the Grandfather Clock (N) in the West Wing.ΣL The Control Wheel (D), which you have just uncovered, sets the orientation of the curved passages (F, M). Initially, these are set to "north and west", so that Passage 2 (M), for instance, connects the West Wing and the Crypt.ⁿL Each time you click the Control Wheel, both passages rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise. To get to the West Wing, you will need to click the wheel once, so that passage M leads to the West Wing from the Bell Tower (the orientation shown on the map).╤L Go to the Bell Tower via Passage 1. Leopold will be following. Pass through the curtain at the back, and down Passage 2 till you reach the Clock. Note the positions of all three hands (red, blue and yellow).?L Finally, return via both curved passages to the Control Room.BL L=-1 T=-1 *Click the Back button to return to the previous page.@ # MonMap4 -+MonMap5&IL D=10 *Step 3 is to visit the Niche (K) and remove the Sliding Wall (L).≈L Click the Control Wheel again to rotate the curved passages. Passage 2 (M) now connects the Bell Tower with the hall leading east to the Niche, while Passage 1 (F) - in which Leopold is standing - now leads from the Control Room to a blank wall.²L Go down the halls with Leopold behind you, through the Bell Tower and down the east passage. You'll find the Niche at the end of the right-hand wall. Set the colored dials to the same positions as the hands on the Clock. This removes the Sliding Wall.êL Now you are free to cross the Chasm (J) from the north. Raise the drawbridge by clicking the Windlass (I) so Leopold can't pursue you.└L Leopold will try to catch up with you again by coming through the Bell Tower. Hurry back there and prevent this by unbalancing the Scales of Justice (G). Finally, return to the Control Room.BL L=-1 T=-1 *Click the Back button to return to the previous page.@ # MonMap5 -&/L D=-1 *Step 4 is to lead Leopold to the Crypt.éL Click the Control Wheel one last time to rotate the curved passages. Now Passage 2 (M) connects the east passage with the Crypt.òL Rebalance the Scales of Justice to open the Bell Tower, freeing Leopold, then head back across the Chasm (J), and through Passage 2 into the Crypt.»L Notice the Greek lettering over the Arch (O) as you enter the Crypt - you will want to refer to this later.
