INSCRIPTION LOCK SOLUTION | |||||||||
| Play around with the numbered buttons and note that a 6-digit code must be entered. After 6 digits are pressed the lock will automatically react, the red light indicating that an incorrect code has been entered. | |||||||||
| There are 4 paintings in the three adjoining rooms. When a painting is first examined its title is given. Study the paintings carefully and you see two numbers on each one - either in roman numerals or, on the one, the Ace of Hearts (1) and the 6 of Spades. | |||||||||
| The titles of the paintings are: (a) Perfect Love (b) For Better or For Worse (c) Dark Wedding (d) Reminder | |||||||||
| Hanging on the walls in the room to the left of the bath you also find a collection daggers and two masks. If you study the collection of daggers you'll see that one of them has two numbers engraved on it. | |||||||||
| The inscription next to the locks can be divided into three parts: | |||||||||
| IN MY MEMOIRS - which painting or object symbolizes 'memoirs'? | |||||||||
| ...THE INSTRUMENT OF MY SUFFERING - what is an 'instrument of suffering'? | |||||||||
| WITH WHICH WE CELEBRATE OUR VOWS - what is celebrated with 'vows'? | |||||||||
| Clearly the painting entitled 'Reminder' is the only object that can be associated with 'memoirs'. Although there are two 'instruments of suffering' (a painting of a sword and the dagger collection), the painting's title (For Better or For Worse) does not apply. Lastly, we celebrate a 'wedding' or 'marriage' with vows, For Better or For Worse is an actual vow - not what we celebrate. | |||||||||

| The 6 numbers that must be entered to replicate the sequence in the inscription are 4 2 3 6 1 5 | |||||||||
