(Just to prevent overthinking: Puzzle 15 wants a single digit number. More or less will give you a technicality error, and it would just bite to waste an action on that).

(One down, one to go. Good luck!)

1. Enter 2500 into the 4-dial lock.
2. Enter 2506 into the 4-dial lock.

How do we know it's in the 2500's to begin with?

I think it came from the 2 right 2 left giving a time of 2:50 on the clock.

Yeah, that was my guess. It's likely that I was wrong, though.

That just seems like such a stretch.

(Hey all! Just popping in to say today's update post is possibly going to be delayed as I won't be in the house at the normal time I update. It shouldn't be delayed for a full day because I'll just stay up until midnight if I have to, but you know, fair warning).

(That said, come next Tuesday, so, not tonight's post, or tomorrow's post, but the third post along, our house is getting no electricity -- gotta love maintenance stuff. That means I won't be able to see what people are doing until at the earliest two hours beforehand (and at the middle of the day at uni, but that's uni, I am not staying at uni for 6 or 7 hours just to have internet, 1 likes food and 1 likes sleep, one does). If it so happens that we do not have power when the update rolls around, well, I have a forming plan to give you all an extra three moves for the next day's update. Course if there's no power I can't tell you to take an extra three, so we'll have to play it by ear. Again, this is for Tuesday, not tonight. When it's that time I'll put up a big old whacking great text centred in the base of the post declaring it to all and sundry in bold pink. (Or I'll slap two numbers beside each other and make it look like a party crown or a happy heart or something, to make it as big and obnoxious as possible, I don't know)).

(Anyway, ka kite, have fun, and good luck!)

(Phew, it's not midnight. Good luck!)

Can anybody figure the three digit number for this:
"Twice right, twice left, each from the clock’s top."

That's really what we need to win.

Turn 19

The lock refuses to budge under your fingers. You're half lying on the bed, absently flicking the dials and intermittently tugging the lock. Frustratingly, it's to no avail. Around you, the room is silent but for the quiet buzz of the TV and the clicking of the lock. So it isn't silent at all. It's certainly chilly, and the carpet stinks from... the....

You hear a gurgling sound.

You plugged the hole in the wall what feels like hours ago, and when you did that it felt like someone shut the water off like flipping a switch. The switch must've been unflipped. You can hear water quietly rumbling in the wall. You snatch up the torch and take a closer look. Sure enough, the fabrics are darkening again, and you can see a line of water gently dripping down the wall and onto the carpet.

As you watch it doesn't look like the water's going to drip any faster. There's barely a thimble of water every minute. But if someone's turned the wster back on for no reason....

...You don't want to think about it.


(I'm going to have no power/internet access tomorrow at points, so if it reaches this time tomorrow plus... let's say three hours, you can all take an extra three actions).

(Oh, also:

(One strike gone. Let's hope it doesn't come together into a disaster).

D'oh! It would be 1:50
