(Welp, I'm officially stupid. I know why "two five zero" was one guess, but where did "one five zero" come from? I genuinely can't figure out where you read to that. I think me knowing the solution's lumped me with a tunnel vision or ten =P).

(You know, this is a nice clock. I think I'll keep it. Good luck!)

The time as shown on that clock is 01:50 or 13:50.

Just for completeness
Enter 1509 into the 4-dial lock.

Enter 1357 into the 4-dial lock.
Enter 1350 into the 4-dial lockEnter 1027 into the 4-dial lock

(I'm thinking of 7 as a crocodile's jaws, btw, that's why I keep trying that first)

1. Enter 1351 into the 4-dial lock. Enter 1020 into the 4-dial lock.
2. Enter 1352 into the 4-dial lock. Enter 1021 into the 4-dial lock.
3. Enter 1353 into the 4-dial lock. Enter 1022 into the 4-dial lock.

1. Enter 1354 into the 4-dial lock.
2. Enter 1355 into the 4-dial lock.
3. Enter 1356 into the 4-dial lock.

Or it could just mean them numbers in which case it's 102

considering that Elbbs didn't understand why we were doing 150 I think it may not be wise to continue that line of reasoning with 1350

Ah, you're probably right. Plus 1350 doesn't exactly fit with 4 numbers. I've changed my inputs accordingly.

I've changed my last action, too.

Gerrick 3: Enter 1022 into the 4-dial lock.
You enter “1022” into the four dial lock. Nothing-- finally!!! You pitch the lock across the room. It smashes the corner of one of the mirrors but frankly, you're past the point of caring. You open the glass container and grab the keycard. It's just as weirdly heavy as the blue one.

You have aquired one (1) keycard.


El Fiji Grande 1 - 3: Enter 1354, 1355, and 1356 into the 4-dial lock.
After a thorough search of the space under the TV, you locate the lock and spin the tumblers around. You then hurl it into the other mirror. Cracks spiderweb in an instant.

You pause. The TV screen is blank.

Solution Explaination

(Red herrings are nasty. This puzzle wanted you to ignore how to really read clocks and just look at the face. Twice right, twice left, AKA "2" and "10." Either "210" or "102" were valid as the first three numbers, but don't ask how a bycycle lock was modified to let that happen. The last number, "2," comes from a riddle-fied maths problem. 7 [croc without teeth], plus 6, minus 11 [sticks, as demonstrated in one of the bonus puzzles]).

(Incidentally, I am never using clocks in puzzles ever again. I can't even read analogue on a good day as I demonstrated yesterday. For expediency, the next post will be in twelve hours. Or thirteen. I might not be awake in time. If you're not sure what to do next I five that retracing one's steps is the best way to six an issue. Good luck!)

That was a bit far-fetched as the solution to the clock puzzle. I'll admit, I sort of stopped thinking about it, and just started trying random ideas people had.

Okay... so we have both keycards. Can we get out now?

1. Swipe the red keycard on the suitcase's keycard reader.
2. Swipe the blue keycard on the suitcase's keycard reader.

Turn 22

Gerrick 1: Swipe the red keycard on the suitcase's keycard reader.
The keycard reader is awkwardly tucked to the suitcase's side. You pull the suitcase around to get the best angle, and without further ado swipe the card.

You hear what sounds like shattering glass. Neither mirror has changed, aside from the cracks you already created. Instead, the sound seemed to come from the TV itself on tinny, half-dead speakers. It looks like the TV had switched to the "escape" screen without your input. The red lock is gone.


Gerrick 2: Swipe the blue keycard on the suitcase's keycard reader.
Eying the TV, you swipe the second card. The screen's blue lock explodes, the same terrible sound effect playing as it does. You tap your foot impatiently the entire time. This--

There's a thud from down the corridor. It's a meaty sound, like someone dropped a bowling ball in another room. You quickly check the corridor.

The front door's lock has fallen off. Completely. There's nothing but bare door where the lock used to be, and the lock itself is sat on the floor, still rocking from the impact.



(I mean, they were the last two puzzles of the room, they were supposed to be hard. But you're right, it ended up obnoxiously obtuse).

(Whoever posts inputs on leaving the room will automatically have their input last, so if anyone wants to do anything, feel free. See you in twelve hours, and good luck!)

1. Leave the room
2. Release a blood-curdling scream
3. Run

Leave the room.

1. Throw the one good lamp at the TV.
2. Jump on the bed.
3. Drink the water coming from the hole in the wall.

Lock the door behind me.
