- 01Decode the board.The board has 15 symbols and starts with 1. Read the hand showing two fingers for 2, the river picture for water, and the parrot's sign. Add five drops of water to the parrot's dish to learn the first symbol is 5; take its egg.
- 02Find the fourth digit.Count the mansion's nine windows in the 5-plus-windows clue. Nine minus five gives 4. Use 2451 on the cabinet and take three empty flasks.
- 03Decode Aldous and the directions.Read the note in Aldous's jacket and the Vanderboom portrait. The repeated symbol identifies Aldous and the middle position. The soldier leans left three times, revealing 3 and left.
- 04Open the direction box.The two symbols represent left and right. Press left, left, right, right, left, right (LLRRLR) and take the matches. Light the candle on the tall table and record its symbol.
