    • Tower again


      Certainly unable to understand this "casse-tęte".
      I tried to follow a solution I found in another submission (using keypad notation) :
      In first clear 752 lit with 615465... (I didn't walk, by accident, on the others numbers). Result isn't clear screen but 142 lit.

      1st puzzle :In the alcove all the numbers are lit. I found this solution (luck) but nothing happened.
      Poor conjurers in reality they use right brain (intuitive one) and there he's obliged to use left brain (logical)... and no help from the book... Perhaps he's a kabbalist 😉
      Another problem is... Can I exit from the tower If I don't solve the puzzles ?

    • every time I enter the tower, the puzzle starts with 7 5 2 lit.

      6 1 5 4 6 5 works just fine clearing the screen.

      And if you start the puzzles, you cant get out unless you complete them.

      Having never played a conjuror, and honestly not really wanting to, this answer prompted
      another question for me: Can you use a gate stone while in a puzzle to teleport out?
      And if so, does the puzzle "reset" which I would assume it would, since the puzzle most
      likely loads when the map loads. Or is there a quazi-antimagic field on the tower
      so that the stones do not work to escape? That could be cool, heh.

      You have to go back into the alcove to be taken to the next puzzle.

      I consider the puzzles no brain: not solvable by either logic or intuition, just chance 😄

      now look at you key pad (or just this pattern for reference),
      7 8 9
      4 5 6
      1 2 3
      these are the switches on the floor.
      every puzzle starts with 7 5 and 2 lit
      to solve each one I turn all switches off first.
      Clear screen first- 6 1 5 4 6 5

      1st puzzle 1 7 9 3 5
      2ed " 5 1 7 9 3 5 4 8 6 2 5
      3ed " 5 1 7 9 3 5 4 8 6 2

      4th puzzle is a clock
      Walk through center vertically and step back on the last button twice, mins is now set. Now walk sideways from left, go two buttons in and then go back. Walk around to right side and walk through to the left side, then step back onto the last one, hours set.

      just a copy paste: its so late, I'll fix the clock error some other time, but im sure you can get by for now.

      Thanks for the help.
      Finally I found the solution, a giant piece of luck. More difficult than AAC told, cause 6 1 5 4 6 5 didn't exactly clear screen but left 124... Which is the result after entering the 1 of 615465.

    • Well,
      I think I must be terribly ignorant or it's not working right for me.
      Thats a toss up, hah. But I don't think logically anyway.
      Ok, I walked in the tower, first floor, and then walked around and was transported to a different screen. 7 5 2 are lit on the floor.
      But no matter how many times I step on the numbers given, that is how many times i try the sequence, nothing happens, except all the tiles show up.

      then you must have been steping on another button as you where walking about to the other buttons, which is VARY easy to do, specialy if you use the mouse to move.
      If you do the combo without touching another button, it works perfect every time.

      For the first puzzle, if all the tiles are lit, enter into the lift (tranporter) where the puzzle to solve is on the floor... a little flash, spining round, indicates you've solved the puzzle; walk on it... Another puzzle is submit to your sagacity.
      good luck !!!
