Ice Chest Puzzle

The hints for this puzzle are contained within the Bloody Note and the three wall inscriptions with the names of women and their ages. The note features the line "Age before beauty" which means that the three women should be arranged according to their age from greater to lesser: Amy - 31, Lucy - 23, Sarah - 19. As the result, the code to the box will be 312319. Enter it and get the last necessary organ - the Plastic Heart.

Anatomy Doll Puzzle

In this puzzle, the plastic organs must be inserted into the anatomy model in the correct order. The insertion order is hinted in the Student's Mnemonic: "Inside Stevie, little Henry lurks". Note that the first two letters of the words are marked in red. It's the hint to the names of the organs:

  • Room 1 - razors and bloody bandages
  • Room 2 - the door is scorched heavily
  • Room 3 - mannequin and perfumes
  • Room 4 - the door is barred heavily

  2. Figure with burns - Room 2
  3. Famished figure - Room 5
  4. Figure with a razor - Room 1
  5. Figure in a dress - Room 3

And finally, see the Clipboard to learn which medicine is prescribed to each patient. In the end we have:

  • Figure 1 - green pill
  • Figure 2 - blue pill
  • Figure 3 - blue pill
  • Figure 4 - red pill
  • Figure 5 - yellow pill

After inserting the pills of the right colour into the right figures, the box will unlock and you'll get Dr. Harris's Key.

Spotlights Puzzle

Next to the catwalk there are four spotlights marked with letters ‘A, B, C, D’. Four bulbs should be fixed into them in the correct order according to their power requirements (125W, 250W, 500W, 750W). To solve the puzzle you should study the Wiring Notes:

  • the Wattage of B has to be half the wattage of D
  • the Wattage of A + B must not exceed C
  • the Wattage of D must not exceed A

This means that the bulb B must be 125W and D - 250W. D can't be 500W as D < A and A + B < C and it won't be possible to satisfy these requirements with the two bulbs left. That is why A must be 500W and C - 750W. So the final result is:

A = 500W; B = 125W; C = 750W; D = 250W.

After inserting all the bulbs, approach the end of the catwalk and pull the switch. If you did everything correctly the blue indicator on the panel will light up as well as the spotlights.

Rotary Calendar Puzzle

The hints for the puzzle come from the three objects:
• Wedding Ring
• Wall calendar in the Room 500
• Travis' Lucky Quarter

Each object has the key to the date: day, month and year. The Wedding Ring has the inscription "To my June bride. Love forever, Richard". The month is June. The wall calendar in Room 500 that can be seen through the peephole in the Maintenance Corridor has the day 12 marked on it. And the year can be learned from Travis’ Lucky Quarter which he received in the year his parents died. It has the number 61 scratched on it. As the result, the date is such: June 12, 1961.

Put these digits into the rotary calendar: 06-12-1961. After this place the Wedding Ring into the oval depression at the bottom of the calendar and take the Room 500 Key from the key rack behind.
