Solutions to various problems encountered in 'The 7th Guest' (Part 4) Neil B. Breeden II and George F. Gaut Jr June 25th, 1993 Provided by both Bev Truter and Phil Darke @~Continued from Issue 45 Spelling Blocks: OBJECTIVE: Rearrange the blocks to spell the correct three words. CONTROL: Clicking on the TOP of a column slides the lower two blocks up, the top one goes to the bottom. The opposite is true by clicking on the BOTTOM of a column. Clicking on the RIGHT edge of a row slides the row to the right. The rightmost block goes to the left edge. Again the opposite is true for the LEFT edge. The blocks always initialize to the same configuration: +---+---+---+ | D | A | T | +---+---+---+ | Y | O | B | +---+---+---+ | T | E | G | +---+---+---+ SOLUTION: To solve the puzzle rearrange the letters to spell the words +---+---+---+ | G | E | T | +---+---+---+ | B | O | Y | +---+---+---+ | T | A | D | +---+---+---+ Piano Bar: OBJECTIVE: Follow the song through 18 notes repeating in a 'Follow the leader' type of game. SOLUTION: I taped a piece of paper to my screen and marked all the keys on it. Then I numbered the keys 1,2,3...18 as they were played. I believe this is the Sequence - Only part of the Keyboard is shown. I've entered this in two different formats, use the one you find easiest to follow. W W B W B W W B W B W B W W -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1 6 5 3 4 14 2 12 10 7 8 15 11 9 16 13 17 18 W W B W B W W B W B W B W W -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . 3 . . . . . . . . 4 . . . . . 5 . . . . . . 6 . . . . . . . 7 . . . . . . . 8 . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . . . . . . . 11 . . . . . . 12 . . . . 13 . . . 14 . . 15 . 16 17 . 18 The musical solution is: Follow the Leader through the 18 note melody by playing the following keys. The piano pictured is an accurate repro of a real piano. Play in sequence: Low B, up an octave to B, F#, G, E, D#, E, F#, E, Low B, up an octave to B, C, B, A, G, F#, E, F#. For those who have a little trouble, it may help to remind that 'B' is located to the right of any three key black sequence. Stauf's Face: OBJECTIVE: Restore Stauf's face to normal. NOTES: This is similar to the crypt puzzle except that each section of the puzzle can be in THREE states. The sequence is like this: +-> NORMAL --> Red --> Green --+ (Or is it Green --> Red?) | | +------------------------------+ There are 9 sections arranged like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Clicking to change a section affects the ones around it like this: (X) is the one clicked - n means no change in the piece. n 2 n 1 n n n n 3 1(2)3 n n n 4(5)6 (4)n n n n(6) n n n n n n n 8 n 7 n n n n 9 n n n 7(8)9 (1)2 n n n n n 2(3) n n n 4 5 n 4 5 n n 5 6 n 5 6 n n n (7)8 n n n n n 8(9) Notice that clicking 2,4,6 or 8 has no effect on 5. NOTE: I kept resetting this one until I got a setup that seemed logical to clear. Star Knives OBJECTIVE: Remove knives by jumping over them with another knife. To win you must have only one knife left on the board. SOLUTION: I've numbered the nodes like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 8 10 Jump in this order: FROM TO OVER ---- ---- ---- 6 1 3 5 3 4 2 4 3 9 5 7 1 7 4 5 9 7 8 7 9 10 4 7 Skyscraper OBJECTIVE: Find the proper path through the windows to clear each section. SOLUTION: You start on the BOTTOM section, click on window #1 and follow them in order. Some of them will automatically turn on when another is clicked. Click the next one that needs to be lit when some are automatically turned on. +----+----+----+----+ | | | 4 | 5 | +----+----+----+----+ | | 2 | 3 | | +----+----+----+----+ | | 1 | | | +----+----+----+----+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | 8 | 9 | | 15 | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | 7 | 10 | 11 | 14 | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | 5 | 6 | | 12 | 13 | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | 4 | 3 | 2 | | | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | | 1 | | | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | 25 | 24 | | 10 | 9 | 8 | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | 22 | 23 | | 11 | 12 | 7 | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ | 20 | 21 | | 15 | 14 | 13 | 6 | 5 | +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | | 2 | 3 | 4 | +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ | | | | | | 1 | | | +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ - o -
