Black mirror zodiac puzzle

MdaG · 11-17-2005, 08:21 AM

Does anyone have a save right after the zodiak puzzle? I'm not sure the random seed has generated a puzzle that is solveable. I've been at it for a while now...

If you do, please send it to: maol9883<?>student.uu.se

I don't have a save prior to when I raised and clicked the altar...

Describe the puzzle...maybe I can help as I'm the resident Zodiac freak.

I might but I have to reload the game and see which one it is (I don't label my save games well.)

Are you sure you are trying to achieve correct combination?

I was a naughty girl and I found a screen shot of what the completed puzzle should look like.

I checked on the web for the solution pattern. I'm having a hard time fitting the last two tiles. It's probably just me sucking... still I'd really appreciate a save game. Me no like this puzzle. What's with them anyway? There's no hints ingame for some of the puzzles!

Sorry for double posting, but I wanted to bring attention to this thread again

I've got a screenshot of my puzzle setup. As I mentioned above I'm not sure it's solveable. If it is, tell me and I'll just continue to work at it, if it's not, where can I get a savegame to just after solving it? I don't have one prior to when I "initiated" the altar.

*edit*
1 | 2 | 3 | 4
5 | 6 | 7 | 8
9 |10|11|12
13|14|15|16

for it to be solved I need to swap position 2 and 3. And 4 and 8.

If I remember my maths correctly, if there are two distinct pairs (or, more generally, an even number of pairs) to swap in a slider, the puzzle must be solvable.

AFGNCAAP · 11-21-2005, 05:14 AM

Okay, it *is* solvable. Hint:

Spoiler:
You don't have to move the two lower rows at all

Thanks, I'll try again tonight.

*edit*
For some reason It was a LOT easier when I knew it was solveable...
