I'm supposed to cast bones to do a divination in the Buffet.

I've gotten the tape recorder and the tapes and listened to them. It repeats..."let's get this right, noise, there - the show their secrets". I've written down the high tones and low tones. I have 5 bones in inventory, making the required total of 15.

I've been down the hall to get and look at the book. I've picked up all the cards to see that the telephone numbers have been scratched out.

Once I have done all this, the 5 bones are supposed to be automatically added to the tin can so there are 15 bones cast. But my 5 bones still remain in inventory, cannot be added by hand, and of course the bone casting is not right.

What might I have missed or what am I doing wrong?

If you're sure that you have all 5 bones and have read the books that were with the bone at rafter - then it might be that the bone divination procedure is not correct.

Look close at the table. Pick up the tin can.

No need to shake the can, just move it to either extreme side of the screen, or the centre, depending on the directions. Be sure not to click while you're moving the can, and don't put the can down at any point until after you've completed the final movement.

Thank you very kindly, Mag.

I'll try out this tomorrow when I pick the game back up again.

I appreciate your time and response!

Keep us posted.

Thank you sooo much, Mag. That worked like a charm! I would have been rattling those bones till doomsday, I think! I kept wondering why I needed a phone number as I already had found one, then I looked at your w/t and read what that extra number was for, lol.

I've now just arrived at the hotel, so... many thanks again - to both you and Rushes! Your walkthroughs have been lifesavers to me many times in the past.

You're welcome. Enjoy the game.
