The Secrets of Alamut (Legends part 2)

Hi Marian,

I've used the walkthrough twice, once I was glad I did, once I was not, so this time I'm hoping you can shed some light for me.

I'm in the library at the Monastary of St. Catherine. I have 3 of the 4 keys to the door. The one I'm having trouble with is the pyramid puzzle with the white sticks. I've found a book with a picture but I guess I am just not understanding something. I can't get this. Is there a way to help without giving me an outright answer?

If not, no worries!!

Thanks.

Here is some information/hints:

The red sticks placement can be found in a diagram in a book on the shelf.



Maybe this will help - if not, let me know. I am not sure how you are supposed to know about the totaling 21 vertically and diagonally, but maybe it will make more sense to you than it does to me.

Thanks Marian. I'll see what I can do with this. I also do not know how you are supposed to know about the 21 total. I'll look and see how they add up. In the book there is a 15 at the bottom of the page which had me looking for something on that line, but maybe that was a page number or something.

Good luck.

Marian - forgive me asking this, but are you sure you're looking at the same puzzle I'm looking at? I think I'm on page 7 of MaG's walkthrough.

There is no way for anything to total 21 vertically and diagonally that I can see. Each triangle/pyramid is only 15 spaces and there are 3 triangle/pyramids that you cannot add sticks to.

This is in the Monastery of St. Catherine. Let's make sure I am looking at the right thing.

Before we get to this part, the walkthrough says (this is in the library):



Does that sound like where you are?

If so, I can provide another sentence of information about the puzzle if needed.

Yes, that does sound like where I'm at. Getting the 3 other keys was easy. Don't know why I can't figure this one out. I guess you better hit me with another sentence.

Here's some more info; the fact that I was giving you the information in a disjointed manner may well have made things worse.



Are we having fun yet?

No Marian. It was me not understanding what exactly was to add up to 21. That finally dawned on me so I am now working on the numbers.

The games are pretty good but I am having some audio issues playing them in my XP. Nothing to ruin the game though.

Thank you much!!!

Glad to help!

They look like interesting games, and it's been fun getting to take a look at them through the walkthrough.

Finis!

Congratulations! Another game conquered.
