Great that you figured it out, Hank. Enjoy the rest of this great game.

Thanks again to all of you....over and out.

Have fun, Hank. :wave12:

Hello again, I was having fun but now I am stuck with that rat trap!! It will not combine the ruler with the empty box in the inventory. I click on the rathole and I am supposed to also click on the light switch on the opposite wall, and there is no reaction there. Is there another switch somewhere? Thanks for the help!

Click on rat hole under the sign and across the light switch.

The light switch is just a description where the light hole is located.
The trigger is to click on the rat hole and also to see the crevice on the wall after you made it bigger. This tells you why you need the rat. Be sure to right click the enlarge crevice, maybe the rat hole also.

Hank, try clicking first on the rat hole. The light is just across the corridor and no link with the trap.

Combine empty bax and ruler in inventory and then the opened can of beans. Then click everything on the rat hole.

Go the stock room to get dynamite and come back to the rat trap.

Good luck.

Chief :wave12:

Edit: good night MaG.

Hi Chief!
The problem is mainly that the ruler and the box won't team up in the inventory!! I'll monkey around some more to see if I can make it work. Isn't the light switch directly across from the rat hole in the floor? conspicuously displayed on the middle of the wall?

Just got back and solved the problem! I should have clicked on the crevice again and finished Martin's conversation! Thanks!!

Thanks Mag, the answer was "clicking on the crevice hole" and let Martin comment on it! I am on my way again!!

Great that you got through.

Hi...back again.Martin is shackled to a pipe and I can't find the pin that will unlock his handcuff. Does anyone know where it can be found?

It should be in your inventory.
I think this is the pin you took from the dead soldier in the mines several chapters before.

Thanks, I remember I took it but I believe somehow it got lost out of inventory. I will have to go back to retrieve it again.

Hank,

If you can handle another saved game, (I don't know Vista) - it's on the way.

Thanks again, I just got it, but haven't opened it yet.
will let you know when I succeed, OK?

I hope the save works for you, Hank. :wave12:

I didn't need it, but thanks anyway... I found the pin and got loose and I am on my way again!

:thumbsup12: Glad you're on your way again, Hank. :wave12:

I trust you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
I was doing fine and enjoyed the great graphics of the Temple and the ruins etc. Talking about ruins....this nasty colored ball puzzle got me stuck big time!! Does any one have a saved game for that? I said before I am a lousy puzzler. thanks for the help!

Hank,

Let me check my saves.

Please CYE.

Thanks....please explain CYE, never seen that before! Ha.

Means "check your EMail"......we're being reduced to text messaging these days.

I had a Rubik's cube some years ago. After about three weeks of wrestling with it I got to the point where only two were out of place and figured the moves it would take to get it finished were more than I could handle......so I quit.

The Colored Ball Puzzle struck me as about the same thing so I simply went to the WT and did it their way.

Thanks, BillyBob.

Did you receive the save, Hank?

Thanks BillyBob. do you have that part of a WT that will get me through this?
The WT I have is a puzzle in itself (hahaha)...maybe you have a chance to copy that part of the WT and email it to me?
Thanks so much!

TLC, if you are Trudy I got a save but emailed her telling that windows couldn't open it. How do I get that file into my Nibiru saved files? I haven't got a clue! Thanks!

TLC thanks for the email. I found the game files in the Program files, but after opening it there was no "saved game " file, am I looking in the wrong place?

BillyBob,do you have a WT page showing how to solve this colored ball puzzle?
Also TLC sent me a saved file and it is sitting on my desktop, but I can't find a "saved files" folder to put it in so I can play it! Can anyone help me with this? it would be disappointing to have to abandon this game at this point, right?

Not to worry my friend, I found the solution and I am now PAST this CB puzzle!! Onward and forward....thanks for your help and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you!!

Hank,

I responded to your email. If you need to add more info and no one has posted behind you, please use the edit button, instead of stacking your posts. Thank you.

WELL....I finally did it!!...Not to worry my friends, I found the solution and I am now PAST this CB puzzle!! Onward and forward....thanks for your help and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!!

That's great, Hank. A :newyear: to you too.
