   no matter what I do, I can’t mix the drink correctly. I also can’t find the brown number :(

7. Laur says:

   May 26, 2009 at 6:53 pm

   I have tried in the order of the name Hemingway, I have tried with the letters from the sudoku in order and I have tried with the pictures in order (both after using the grey thing).

8. Laur says:

   May 26, 2009 at 6:58 pm

   If I can mix the drink and Show

   get the green number

   and then find out where Show

   the brown number is — does it have something to do with the coconuts?

   I can then Show

   open the “treasure chest” in the ground and get off this island that has taken up a LOT of my time :(

   I figured out the code for the patio door, using Reka’s method, but I never found the paper that shows how to do it. There is a peice of paper that has the 90 degree turn and add the symbols somewhere, I guess, I just can’t find it, and even with the right numbers, the door doesn’t open. Any help?

10. Anonymouse says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    have you solved the books- not sure but it might of been in that

11. Anonymouse says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    this is one of those games you have to do all the work, no shortcuts :)

12. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:14 pm

    I’m feeling very stupid: where do I use the Show

    flags from the treasure chest?

13. jojo says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:14 pm

    The 90° paper is in the cat’s basket – use the red fish from the kitchen to lure it away

14. jojo says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:15 pm

    Reka
    flags go on the boat

15. Laur says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    *.* the symbols you are looking for are Show

    on the back of the photo.

    If you haven’t solved the books Show

    (that may be where the photo is, I don’t remember)

    I can help with that.

16. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    HOW?????

17. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    I get a red exclamation mark if I click on the boat.

18. Laur says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:17 pm

    Can anyone please help with the drink and the chest?

19. Laur says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:18 pm

    Reka, I know you need to use the Show

    mirror with the morse code to signal the boat. I am unsure how. I can check back on my primary site.

20. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    AH! The flags go Show

    in the RIGGING, not the boat itself!

21. jojo says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    Just drag them onto the lines the run left and right from the mast

22. *.* says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:43 pm

    jojo:
    the only fish I have found is from the dining room and it’s grey with red fins. The cat just moves its head but doesn’t leave the basket. Can you be more specific?

23. jojo says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:45 pm

    right next to the grey fish is a red fish

24. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:47 pm

    Flag colors: Show

    (From the two pink pieces of paper that together give you a semaphore code, plus the hint from the white flag you found ages ago.)

    cmvf = blue
    sfe = red
    hsffo = green
    zfmmpx = yellow
    cspxo = brown
    dzbo = cyan

    Click with the flags near the top of the mast, then click each flag until it’s the correct color, going left to right (i.e. ignore height). When you get it right, something will appear on the boat.

    Drink recipe: Show

    This is a case of the game not letting you guess. You can mix your drink correctly as many times as you want, but it won’t give you the number unless you’ve entered the correct recipe on the scroll.

    1. Reveal the ingredients board (behind lighthouse picture – use the knife, then the pliers).

    2. Get the gray card with cutouts (patio somewhere).

    3. Solve the Sudoku (behind the beach chair).

    4. Get the scroll (I think it was in the safe hidden behind the bookcase).

    5. Get all the ingredients: three bottles, sugar cubes, ice, water, lemon, lime, mint. (The bottles are in the kitchen cupboard. For the ice, use the knife on the bucket on the kitchen table, then click the bucket. For the water, use the water glass [not the wine glass] on the ice bucket [NOT the ice in your inventory], then put the glass out on the patio table and wait for it to melt. The fruits are in the basket on the patio table. The mint is above the beach chair.)

    6. Use the gray card on the Sudoku puzzle and write down the letters – you should have some permutation of “Hemingway”.

    7. Use the gray card on the ingredients board and get the ingredients corresponding to each letter.

    8. Hold the scroll in the fire (near the bottom; try moving it around) until it turns dark.

    9. Click on the scroll to see the letters of Hemingway, along with what appears to be a different set of ingredients. IGNORE THEM, they’re incorrect. Your job is to change the scroll until it matches what you found on the ingredient board + Sudoku. To change the scroll, just click on the pictures. When you get it correct, the scroll will stop changing.

    10. Now go mix the drink, in the order H-E-M-I-N-G-W-A-Y. Yes, this is what you’ve been trying all along, but until you put the solution into the scroll, it thinks you’re just guessing. (Apparently, the scroll is supposed to be what tells you the ordering, but it actually just confuses the matter – to me, the ordering on the scroll look like HMNWY EIGA.)

25. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:48 pm

    I never did find any use for the gray fish.

26. *.* says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:55 pm

    so the red fish is the useful one and the grey fish is a red herring?

    seriously though, after I moved the cat I got outside and now I am making progress.
    Does anyone know what is the point of all the little numbers everywhere (roman 4 on the painting, 1 on the palm tree, 6 on the page of the book in the beach chair, etc?)

27. Reka says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    Number codes for treasure chest: Show

    purple = 4 (IV on picture above bed)
    yellow = 3 (underneath the carpet next to bed)
    orange = 7 (bookcase)
    pink = 5 (kitchen cabinet)
    light green = 2 (patio column)
    gray = 8 (underside of ashtray – light the cigar, let it burn down, throw away the ashes in kitchen trashcan)
    brown = 6 (book on beach chair)
    red = 1 (trunk of palm tree above beach chair)
    dark green = 9 (all that nonsense with the drink)

    I’m pretty sure neither these codes nor the flag colors change from game to game. (For that matter, neither does the morse code.)

28. Laur says:

    May 26, 2009 at 7:59 pm

    Thank you so much Reka. I don’t feel so stupid now. I didn’t realize you could change the Show

    pics on the scroll.

    I hope this posts soon enough for you to see your thank you

    Hi everybody! Great job you did up to now!
    I need your help, though! I’m stuck with the photo that I’m supposed to find in the clock, showing where is the treasure chest. I cant seem to find a hot spot to open the clock .. Is it while zooming on the clock numbers or on the table somewhere?
    Thanks!!
