7th Guest - Hints

               Supplied by Alex van Kaam

@~I was moaning to Alex over the phone that we had got stuck at
@~the Bishops puzzle in 7th Guest and that when we'd used the
@~built-in hints in the game all it did was solve the puzzle for
@~you - it didn't tell you how to do it. He said he would send me
@~the solution and here it is, together with some others he sent.

The cake puzzle:

1 1 1 1 2 3
1 4 4 2 2 3
4 4 5 2 2 3
4 6 5 5 5 3
6 6 6 6 5 3



The telescope:

'there is no possible way'

The Queens:

...*....
......*.
..*.....
.......*
.*......
....*...
*.......
.....*..

The cans:

'shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt'


The spiders:

Start at any point, and let the 2nd spider fill the place where
the 1 spider started, then let the 3rd spider fill the place where
the 2 started, then let the 4th spider fill the place where the
3rd started, then.... well, you get the point.

The bishops:

This is the grid for the white bishops:

4
3
2
1
 A B C D E

This is the grid for the black bishops:

1
2
3
4
 A B C D E

Do all the following moves using the white bishops' grid, then do
all the moves again using the black bishops' grid

BLACK                 WHITE
A2-B3                 E2-D3-B1
B3-D1                 E4-D3-C4
                      B1-A2
D1-C2-E4              C4-E2
                      A2-C4
E4-B1
A4-C2-E4              E2-D1
C4-B3-A4
B1-E2                 D1-B3-A2
D3-E2

The answer to the bishop puzzle isn't mine but it still works,
with the last 3 or 4 moves (I don't know exactly) there is an
error in the answer, you have to jump a move (in the list of
moves) and then go back to where you were (in the list of moves).
(Sounds strange but you get the point when you are playing the
puzzle and you come to a point that you can't make a certain move,
just first do the next and then do the one you couldn't
make......) Remember all the moves you have to make are in the
answer.

The chapel bricks:

The stones you take are counted 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 .......
Be sure all your 3rd stones are purple and when you step on the
exit stone this also must be your 3rd stone.
