It is an intuitive puzzle (though Ragnar is reluctant to use the term "puzzles", not liking the cryptic and nonsensical connotations that have built up over the years) and fits perfectly into the context of the scene.


I hear you Ragnar. Heh...

You might be relieved to know that despite the time-sensitive nature of a room filling with gas, the scene itself is not actually timed.
Hmmm. That sucks. I think it should have been timed, but that if the victim had died, there could have been an alternate way. For example, as she slumps to her death, her little Blackberry slips out her pocket and it shows a bit of the information Zoe needs (along with little digital pics of the victim's family, boyfriend, etc.). So you'd still have find out how to get in that room to get the Blackberry. This alternate scenario would help tug at the player's emotions.
