set the lever to 3 door 8 will open. Setting the lever to 8 will open door 5. To open door
7 you therefore have to set the lever to 10 (10-3=7). That means leave the left lever
position to number 2 and move the right lever to number 10. Inside the cell you'll find

Total score is 3931 out of 4000.
There are few things to do to complete the score. Please notice me if someone knows the additional score. This is a great game, in spite of several bugs at the ending puzzle. The mouse will freeze for some machine and video card.
