The door to the patient wing is locked and you'll need a key code to get
through. The memo on the chalkboard explains the puzzle. It will be
different depending on the Riddle Level you're on. Use the below solutions
for the appropriate Riddle Levels.
EASY:
Here, you come across a pretty simple riddle. It reads:
"Press, move 2 right;
press, move up 1;
press, move 2 down;
press, the door shall open."
Pretty simple, but where do you start? Using the memo, you have to be able
to move 2 right after pressing the first number so it can only be 1, 4
or 7. After the second number, you have to move up 1, so it can now only
be 4 or 7. After the third number, you need to move 2 down. You can't move
2 down from 4, which is 1 up from 7. However, you can move 2 down from 1,
so the starting number has to be 4. Now just follow the directions. Start
on 4, move 2 right, press 6. Move up 1, press 3. Move 2 down, press 3, and
the door should unlock. If you haven't already figured it out, the
resulting code is 4639.
NORMAL:
On Normal, the memo will be in a form of some type of algebra. If you're
good in it, it's your lucky day. You come across the following memo on the
chalkboard by the door:
"The first is larger than the second;
the second twice the third;
the third smaller than the fourth;
the fourth is half the first.
Four of the numbers are not repeated
Three are not in the top row
Two are not in the right row
One of the numbers is the final key"
The trick is to work your way up from the bottom. The fourth has to be
half the first, so it has to be an even number. So the fourth number is
either 2, 4, 6 or 8. Start with the highest number, which is 8. Half of 8
is 4. The third number is less than the fourth number, so it has to be
under 8. The second number is twice the third, so the third can only be
1-4, which helps out a lot. The first number is larger than the second
number, so it has to be over 2.
After you work it out, 8, 6 and 2 can't be the last number, so it's 4. The
third is smaller than the fourth, so it's 3 or less. The second is twice
the third, so it's 2, 4 or 6. And the first is larger than the second, so
it's at least 4, since the fourth is half the first. By now, you're
probably confused as hell. Try to stay with me.
From the above, you should come up with the following numbers:
1 - At least 4
2 - 2, 4 or 6
3 - 3 or less
4 - 4
So experiment with what you have so far. The last number is 4, so try to
figure out the rest. The third is smaller than 4, so let's start with 3 as
the third number. The second is twice the third, so it would be 6 in this
case. And the first number is larger than the second, so it's either 7, 8
or 9. Let's try 7 first. Now you have the following code: 7634. This code
doesn't work, so try 8 for the first number, since it is a possibility.
What do you know, it works! So the resulting code is 8634.
HARD:
"Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead---
You are always looking at me
and I am always looking at you.
Ah, you're too meek---
beautiful, unspoiled:
thus I'm so sad, I suffer---
and so happy, it hurts.
I want to hurt you
and destroy myself
What you would think
if you knew how I felt.
Would you simply smile,
not saying a word?
Even curses from your mouth
would be as beautiful as pearls.
I place my left hand on your
face as though we were to kiss.
Then I suddenly shove my thumb
deep into your eyesocket.
Abruptly, decisively,
like drilling a hole.
And what would it feel like?
Like jelly?
Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenely
mix it around and around: I must
taste the warmth of your blood.
How would you scream?
Would you shriek "It hurts!
It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears
stream from your crushed eye?
You can't know the maddening
hunger I've felt in the midst of
our kisses, so many of them
I've lost count.
As though drinking in your cries,
I bring my hopes to fruition:
biting your tongue, shredding it,
biting at your lips as if tasting
your lipstick.
Oh, what euphoric heights I would
reach, having my desires fulfilled
like a greedy, gluttonous cur.
I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted
cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my
tongue.
I would surely be healed,
and would cry like a child.
And how is your tender ear?
It brushes against my cheek;
I want it to creep up to my lips so
I can sink my teeth into its flesh.
Your left ear, always hearing words
whispered sweet as pie---
I want it to hear my true feelings.
I never lied, no...
but I did have my secrets.
Ah, but what must you think of me?
Do you hate me? Are you afraid?
As though inviting you to the agony
at the play's end, if you wish, you
could destroy me---I wouldn't care.
As you wish, you may destroy me
---I wouldn't care."
Stanley Coleman is a very sick person, if you haven't already discovered
from the memo.
This puzzle is a little gruesome and sick. You'll probably get totally
confused doing this puzzle and I wouldn't blame you. To solve this puzzle,
you must understand some things:
-The memo on the chalkboard refers to a face being the keypad, like this:
1 2 3
eye eye
4 5 6
ear nose ear
7 8 9
cheek mouth cheek
-When you look at someone, your left is their right, and so on
The first few verses are not important, so find the "I place my left hand
on your face" part. The left hand would touch the right side of the face,
but it is the person talking, not the face, so it remains as the left side
of the face. Sorry if I confused you there, just forget it; it's the
person's view, which is on the left.
The two following parts of the memo are linked together: "Then I suddenly
shove my thumb deep into your eyesocket" and "Would you shriek 'It hurts!
It hurts!' as cinnabar-red tears stream from your crushed eye?". After the
thumb enters the eyesocket (1), the blood drips downward -- below the eye
(1) is the ear (4). The blood wouldn't normally go to the ear, it would go
to the cheek, but in this case it moves down to the next number, which is
4, the first number of the code.
Shortly after, the memo mentions "biting your tongue, shredding it, biting
at your lips as if tasting your lipstick." This would be at the mouth, of
course, which is 8 -- the second number of the code.
