Jessica Plunkenstein & The Düsseldorf Conspiracy
Walkthrough
Len Green 28th August 2005 lengreen@hotmail.com
PREFACE :-
Read the Manual-file for operating instructions etc.
I have copied the ‘Overview’ from the Manual (with permission from Greg
Edwards, the game Developer). It gives
a very brief outline of the flavor of the game --- its extreme humor
& erudition … and that is very much an
understatement!
I’m afraid that I can’t in ANY WAY emulate that, and so this
walkthrough will be very dry and factual … my apologies in advance.
It’s
been a peculiar day for Jessica Plunkenstein. By a freak twist of fate and
airline
security,
she finds herself battling evil Barons bent on world domination, evil
headmistresses
bent on pathological propriety, and evil yodelers bent on nothing in
particular.
Full of llamas, Ninjas, French people, pickled herring, dubious German
accents, Yetis in heat, and musical theatre up the
wazoo, Jessica’s adventures bring her
from
the Amazonian Rain Forests to the Norwegian Alps with layovers along the
Eastern
seaboard.
So tag along, and with luck, you, too, can unravel The Düsseldorf
Conspiracy.
INTRODUCTION
:-
{A} VERY IMPORTANT !!
The version I
played and upon which this walkthrough is based is v1.4 (A slightly updated
version v1.5 is due to be released shortly).
In
this version, due to AGS limitations, although you can generally enter &/or
exit doors and other openings easily,
it is sometimes extremely difficult. There are even occasions where I had to try
a ½ dozen times or more before succeeding!
However, this
glitch is well known to the Developer who gave me the following advice, and
since using it I had NO TROUBLES WHATSOEVER!
If you have ANY difficulty click
a little past the door in the way you want Jessica to walk … e.g. If you want to enter a door near the top of
the screen, click a little bit above it. Similarly, if you want to enter
a door at the left side of the screen, click a little bit to the left of the
door.
{B} The operative cursors are in the form of a + with a small picture indicating its use
just above and to the right. The active
spot of each of these cursors is the center (red) point of the + (and not the picture … as might be assumed
incorrectly)!
{C} In this walkthrough, whenever it says “Talk to” or “Take (Pick up,
Grab, etc.)” always LOOK at the person or object first.
{D} When talking to ANYBODY, always exhaust all
dialogue options (until they start repeating)!
{E} You
can play each section of the game in many different orders. The following walkthrough describes only one
of these … and not necessarily the best.
It’s
best to play in your OWN individual order … so long as you do everything
essential sooner or later, you will advance easily throughout the game.
{F} There are a very large number
of actions you must perform and all of them are described here. There are some actions which are not essential
to complete the game. Most of these
have NOT been included in the walkthrough … but of course if you DO perform
them they cannot possibly ‘spoil’ your game (they may even add to it)!
{G} This walkthrough has been arranged as far as
possible ONLY in accordance with the logical development of the game
… and NOT the shortest &/or quickest route.
As an example:- Suppose the logic of the game leads you to
enter some location in order to pick up object X, and you do so. You see there (often well displayed) object
Y which is not needed at that time but will probably be essential later. The walkthrough will NOT tell
you to pick it up (although no harm will be done if you do) … which would be
the most efficient method! Later on in
the game, it will probably be apparent (logically) that you need Y for some
later sequence and the walkthrough will tell you to return to the same location
to get it.
Obviously, this is not the quickest way to play (or describe) the
game. If of course you DID pick it up
earlier you will not need to return to pick it up later … no harm will have
been done and you will have saved a little time! J
This may quite probably seem long
winded (and a very long way round) --- but anybody who prefers to choose short
cuts is perfectly free to do so … nobody has to unnecessarily
waste time.
{H} Before
you start playing the game, you should choose between two resolutions
{‘winsetup.exe’ file} … 320 x 200 or 640 x 400.
WARNING :- Unless your computer is very
‘old’ do NOT use the former resolution … some important items are very
blurred and disturbing!
Also, once
you choose a resolution setting, ALL your previous saves will not be valid at
the other setting!
******************************************************
P A
R T - 1
[ 1 ] Amazonian International Airport.
After the lengthy introduction(s), you {Jessica}
have landed at The Amazonian International Airport.
***
Talk to the customs official.
*** He
won’t let you continue … “Only the passported man shall pass”!
***
Talk to the man (on the left) with the spotted red jacket.
*** He
needs proof that Jessica is actually Harrison J. Harris.
***
Take your airline ticket stub from inventory and show it to the man with the
spotted red jacket.
*** OK
now! Enter the shed.
***
Talk to the ‘Second biggest talking stone head’ … and learn what your (zany)
Quest is!
***
Take the can of blue spray paint.
***
Exit the shed.
***
Watch the cut scene with Baron von Düsseldorf … and hear again the details of
his dastardly plan (To rule Broadway!!).
***
Take the blue spray paint from inventory and use it on the open empty crate …
drawing a large blue X.
***
Enter the crate … it closes.
***
Watch how the crate is lifted by Harry (the porter), and carried to the right
and past the customs officer.
***
Jessica gets out of the crate and walks (freely) further to the right.
[ 2 ] Llamaland.
***
Talk to the smiling lady employee in the ‘FREE’ booth, and receive from her a
free souvenir Llamaland cup.
***
Enter the ‘Ye Olde Llama Shoppe’.
***
Talk to the shopkeeper.
***
Take one of the bunch of paper bags from the counter.
***
Close the shop door.
***
Look at the can of shaving cream and take it … you can’t!
***
Try to sit on the Llamatic chair. The
shopkeeper won’t let you!
***
Talk to the shopkeeper again.
***
“So about the Llamatic?” ... “Could you demonstrate the Llamatic for me?”
***
The shopkeeper demonstrates the Llamatic chair.
***
Whilst he’s in the Llamatic, try to grab the shaving cream.
*** It
seems that he only operates the Llamatic for a second or so … there isn’t nearly
enough time to get the shaving cream!
***
Operate (click) the lever at the side of the Llamatic say 3 times.
***
Get the shopkeeper to demonstrate it again.
***
Notice that the demonstration lasts longer.
***
Apparently, the more times you operate lever, the longer the demonstration
lasts!
***
You will need at least 6 clicks on the lever to allow sufficient time to
in order to obtain the shaving cream.
About ten times (recommended) will give much more leeway.
***
Get the shopkeeper to demonstrate once again.
*** Now he will sit for quite a long time …
and you can easily grab the shaving cream.
***
Exit the shop.
***
Walk to the right and choose the cream colored path which forks towards the
trees.
***
You are in the ‘Botanical Garden of the selectively carnivorous’.
***
Look at the ‘Venus Llama Trap’.
***
Look at the placard and read the whole description.
***
Pick up the pruning shears.
***
Walk off screen to the right, pass the ‘cafe urban’, continue walking to the
right, and arrive at the line of stones.
***
Read the ‘Lama Alert’ warning notice.
***
Apparently you can’t take the (clear) path leading through the woods … unless you are accompanied by a llama!
[ 3 ] Acquiring
a llama (in Llamaland).
***
Return to the ‘Botanical Garden of the selectively carnivorous’ and exit (to
the left).
***
Walk forward and to the right.
***
Try talking to the llama … no response.
***
Talk to Hortense, the woman in blue. It
appears that the only thing that would scare her away from guarding Larry the
llama would be if he got rabies … She’d be running for the hills!!
***
“So about rabies” … “Um, I think Larry is rabid” … “No, I don’t see the three
tell tale signs” … “How can you tell when a llama has rabies?”
*** [iii] “The eyes as red as blood” …… [i] “The mouth as foaming as foam” ……
[ii]
“And aggressive behavior”…………
(In this
case [alone], the order of [i], [ii], & [iii] has been ‘altered’ for “logical-descriptive”
purposes ONLY!)
***
Apparently, in order to obtain Larry, you will have to get rid of Hortense by
pretending to make Larry suffer from rabies … i.e. perform the abovementioned
three tasks …………..
~~~~~~~~ [i] ~~~~~~~~
*** Take the shaving cream from
inventory and use it(s foam) on Larry … he will foam at the mouth.
~~~~~~~~ [ii] ~~~~~~~~
*** A
little to Hortense’s left is a violet button.
***
Press it and you will obtain consciousness-losing ‘muzak’ … the sort of insipid
music “that your grandparents would probably love”!!
***
Walk a little to the left, and enter the red and white colored building. It is the Llamarama … Hall of llama history.
***
Look at the stereo … it consists of 2 units.
*** A
green cable is connected to the top unit and its label reads ‘muzak’.
*** A
red cable is connected to the bottom unit and its label reads ‘llama mating
calls’
***
Look at the easel exhibiting ‘llama mating calls’
***
Press the violet button on the easel … listen to the ‘llama mating calls’ …
sounds of loooooooove!
***
Look at and click on the point where the green and red cables cross one
another. This switches the two stereo
units … and maybe the two very different types of audio output??
*** If
you NOW press the violet button inside the Llamarama … you no longer get the
‘llama mating calls’, but instead you hear that soporific muzak … neutered
jazz:- possibly “Andrew Lloyd Webber” easy-listening music.
***
Exit the Llamarama and return to the violet button outside (near
to Hortense).
***
Press that violet button (outside the Llamarama) … you no longer get the
‘muzak’, but instead you hear the ‘llama mating calls’.
***
Larry the llama gets hot under the collar and paws the ground aggressively!!
~~~~~~~~ [iii] ~~~~~~~~
***
Return to the ‘Botanical Garden of the selectively carnivorous’ and walk off
screen to the right. *** Enter the ‘cafe urban’.
***
Talk to the persnickety manager.
***
Look around and try to do anything … you can’t!
***
Look at the nervous man sitting at the table.
His name is Dwayne.
***
Talk to him … He hates loud noises!
*** In
inventory, inflate the paper bag (use the head/talk icon).
***
From inventory take the inflated paper bag and put it onto Dwayne … The bag
explodes with a bang … and he collapses under the table.
***
The manager approaches Dwayne and just stands there, helplessly!
***
Grab the big hammer (a mallet).
***
Take the mallet from inventory and use it on the blue vase. The expensive vase smashes to pieces … The
furious manager marches Jessica into the kitchen where she will be washing
dishes for a very long time.
***
Take the bottle of cooking sherry.
***
Take the box of ‘OH SOY!’ (soy protein).
***
Take the axe.
***
Try to escape through the door … an alarm siren sounds and the door closes …
“Get back to work”!
***
Look at the alarm.
***
Use the axe on the alarm … it doesn’t work!
***
Look at the red wire.
***
Use the axe to cut the wire.
***
Exit the door … no problem now (and automatically return the axe).
***
Look around the rear emergency exit of the café. Nothing doing there!
***
Walk to the left and pass the front of the ‘urban café’ … strange that the
manager doesn’t see Jessica through the open door and apprehend her?!
***
Continue to the left through the ‘Botanical Garden of the selectively
carnivorous’ and exit (to the left).
***
Walk forward and to the right.
***
From inventory take the bottle of cooking sherry and feed it to Larry … his
eyes become red!
***
Once again press that violet button (outside the Llamarama) producing the
‘llama mating calls’.
You have now completed ALL of the 3
‘tasks’ necessary to simulate Larry’s rabies.
***
Larry’s eyes are bloodshot , he foams at the mouth and paws the ground
aggressively.
***
Hortense can’t understand it.
***
Jessica tells her he’s got rabies … Hortense beats a hasty retreat!
***
Jessica cleans up Larry the llama who now follows her wherever she goes.
***
Watch the cut scene at ‘Miss Pernilla’s Institute for Unwifely Women’.
[ 4 ] Getting
Larry safely through Llamaland.
*** In
order to continue on her journey, Jessica (and Larry) must go to the ‘line of
stones’. That can only be accessed by
passing through the ‘Botanical Garden of the selectively carnivorous’.
*** As
you approach the ‘Venus Llama Trap’ it opens its mouth, bares its sharp teeth,
and its long red tongue flicks out ready to swallow Larry!
***
Read the placard (again) … Apparently
you will have to feed the ‘Venus Llama Trap’ a very unappetizing llama
in order to assuage its appetite for llamas (for the next week)!
***
Walk to the fountain near the entrance to Llamaland.
***
Use your cup from inventory, and fill it with water from the fountain.
***
Re-enter ‘Ye Olde Llama Shoppe’.
***
From inventory, use your cup (of water) and pour the water onto the statue of
the Chia Llama … it sprouts fur.
***
Grab some fur … you can’t; not with your bare hands.
***
From inventory, use the pruning shears on the Chia Llama … giving it a haircut
and obtaining llama fur.
***
Return to the Llamarama.
*** Go
to the sarcophagus … it’s closed.
***
Click on it and it opens revealing an object which looks like a big
llama-shaped cookie cutter.
***
Take your ‘OH SOY!’ from inventory and pour it into the open sarcophagus … you
get a llama made out of soy.
***
Take the soy-llama.
***
Exit the Llamarama and again walk to the ‘Venus Llama Trap’
***
Larry cannot pass it but Jessica can!
***
Enter the front door of the cafe urban.
***
The manager orders her back into the kitchen to continue washing dishes.
***
Open the double doors on the left of the kitchen and step out.
***
Open the bathroom door (with the blue circle and 2 stick figures) and enter.
***
Talk to the man (Grady) standing there … “I wish I were a powder room attendant
in a green tuxedo”.
***
Continue talking to Grady, the attendant.
*** {{
There are a few things you can do here which are amusing, but not essential …
including taking a towel and spritzing it, etc. }}
*** In
inventory, put the Chia Llama fur onto the soy llama (or vice versa) … making a
soy llama with hair.
***
From inventory, hand the furry soy llama to Grady.
***
Ask him to spritz it.
*** He
asks what spritz you want … and presents many choices.
***
Choose Eau de Llama.
*** In
inventory, check that you have a soy llama with hair and an authentic musk!
***
Exit the powder room.
***
Open the double doors to kitchen and enter,
***
Exit the open emergency door to the back of the cafe.
***
Return past the front of the ‘cafe urban’ to the ‘Venus Llama Trap’.
*** From
inventory, feed the (bogus) soy llama to the bared teeth of the ‘Venus Llama
Trap’.
***
The ‘Venus Llama Trap’ is very unhappy … “Apparently it didn’t taste good’.
***
The ‘Venus Llama Trap’ will not eat anything else for a week … so Larry is
safe.
*** Walk
to the right and Larry follows … past the cafe urban and continue to the right,
to the line of stones.
***
Ride Larry past the line of stones and along the path … “To finity and
beyond”!?
***
Watch the cut scene with Baron von Dusseldorf.
[ 4 ] Round
and round the Mulberry Bush !
***
Arrive at Herbert J. Parthenogenesis (Herbie) … unfortunately, Larry llama has
been eaten by a yeti! L
***
Talk to Herbie.
***
Learn about mulberry bushes.
***
Find out what important information is in his second edition book.
*** It
contains the “Ingredients needed to fertilize the Amazonian mulberry bush, with
which you can obtain access to its bloom … etc., etc.”
***
Ask him for a copy of that second edition … he will only give you one in
exchange for a first edition book!
***
Look at the Mulberry bush … “But it’s sealed shut”.
***
Open it up … No go:- “It’s sealed tightly”!
***
Walk to the right, open the front door to the Adventurers’ Lodge.
***
Enter the Lodge.
[ 5 ] Adventurers’
Lodge.
*** Look at the
mantelpiece (over the unlit fireplace).
On the right-hand side is a copy of Herbie’s book … Zeroth Edition.
*** Take the book and
look at it in inventory.
***
Look at the Baron’s First Edition of Herbie’s book.
***
Take it! The Baron won’t let you!
***
From inventory, take Herbie’s Zeroth Book and place it on the Baron’s
First-Edition copy.
***
The Baron turns around looking for a 3 headed monkey … The editions are
swapped.
*** Go
back outside to Herbie.
***
Take your (the Baron’s!) First-Edition copy of Herbie’s book and give it to
Herbie … He exchanges it for an autographed copy of the Second Edition.
*** In
inventory, CAREFULLY look at and read all
the instructions for fertilizing a mulberry bush and hence obtaining its bloom.
*** [i] “A gallon of liquid petroleum” …… [ii] “A dash of hot sauce” …… [iii] “The horn of a dangered rhinoceros – or a
cup of sugar”.
*** In addition to the above, you must have [iv] “Copious supplies of water”.
*** “Hey
the “autograph” is a seal that reads “The Amazonian Botanical Society” and
“Brethren of Amazonian Oil-Drillers”.
~~~~~~~~ [i] ~~~~~~~~
***
Walk to the right and enter the Lodge again,
***
Walk to the middle of the room and enter the door just to the right of the
Bugs-Bunny look-alike graphic.
***
Look at and pick up the empty gas can,
***
Look at the helicopter and its wee pilot,
***
Talk to the pilot … “Please, call me Pontius”! J
***
Keep talking to him until (at least) you reach “Does the helicopter need gas?”
***
The pilot gives Jessica his universal gas card.
***
From inventory use the gas pump activation card on the gas pump. It doesn’t work … the card is missing some
sort of official seal.
***
Exit the helipad, the Lodge, and return
to Herbie.
***
Hand the gas pump activation card to Herbie.
“Would you autograph this please?” … He “autographs” it with his trusty
stamp.
*** In
inventory, look at the gas pump activation card with the pretty seal.
***
Return into the Lodge and to the helipad.
***
From inventory take the gas card, and put it into the gas pump … “Pump activated
begin fuelling”.
***
From inventory, take the empty gas can and place it on the gas pump … it fills
the can.
***
Exit the helipad, the Lodge, and return
to the mulberry bush.
***
From inventory, take the full gas can and pour the gasoline onto the mulberry
bush.
~~~~~~~~ [ii] ~~~~~~~~
***
Talk to the Ninja.
***
Ask him to give a demonstration with a Ninja star … on what object?
***
“The rhinoceros horn”; “The Baron’s
aorta”; ~~~~~ “I can harm neither man nor animal”!
***
“The target”; “The hunk of cheese ”; ~~~~~ bull’s-eye!
***
Walk to the left towards the main door and notice the drinking fountain and the
trapdoor in the floor.
***
Open the trapdoor.
***
Walk down the stairs.
***
Look at and take the magnet.
***
Return upstairs.
***
Look at the placard of the rhinoceros (Endangered Edition).
***
From inventory take the magnet and put it on the rhinoceros’s horn … “It fits
perfectly”!
***
Get the Ninja to perform another demonstration by aiming a Ninja star at the
hunk of cheese.
***
The magnet causes the (iron/cobalt/nickel) star to be deflected, and the magnet
and rhino horn are sliced off and fall to the floor.
***
Pick up the magnet.
***
Pick up the rhino horn.
***
Exit the Lodge, and return to the
mulberry bush.
***
From inventory, take the rhino horn and ‘give’ it to the mulberry bush … “In
some cultures, this is an aphrodisiac”!
~~~~~~~~ [iii] ~~~~~~~~
*** Go
to the extreme right of the Lodge, open and exit the back door (behind the
Baron).
***
Look at the geyser (and it’s promotional placard) … “It’s not geysing”!
***
Look at the bottle of hot sauce.
***
Take the bottle … the hot dog vendor won’t let you!
***
Talk to the vendor … business is very bad since the geyser dried up!
***
Return through the back door to the Lodge.
***
Ask the Ninja if you can have one of his Ninja stars … No!
***
From inventory take the magnet and place it on the Ninja’s stars.
***
Since the stars are made of iron, cobalt and nickel, one attaches itself to the
magnet (and is now in your inventory).
***
Again go to the trapdoor and walk down the stairs.
***
Look at the main water pipe … “I don’t hear any water though”!
***
Look at the greenery surrounding the pipe … “I hate Nature”!
***
Remove the vines surrounding the water pipe … You can’t; they’re too strong.
*** From
inventory, take the pruning shears and cut the vines … “Take that ecosystem”!
***
Look at the funnel arrangement on the water pipe to the left of the water
valve.
***
“The pipe is filled with petrified snapping turtles. It’ll take something drastic to clear them out”.
***
From inventory take the (highly unstable) blue paint and shove it into the
funnel.
***
From inventory take the ninja star and click it onto the blue paint … Jessica
walks to the other end of the room
flings the star and the paint can explodes.
***
Boom!! The pipe is unclogged.
*** Go
to the valve and turn it on.
***
The water’s on … you can hear it.
***
Return up the stairs.
***
Look at the drinking fountain … “It seems to be bouncing” due to the water
pressure.
***
Walk to the extreme right and exit the back door again.
***
Look at the glorious fountain whose beauty was denied to the world by those
petrified snapping turtles!?
***
Hey! --- a trio from the previous section of the game … Grady, Hortense, and
the manager of the “cafe urban”.
***
Talk to them … Jessica is not very popular!!
***
Look at the bottle of hot sauce and pick it up.
***
Return through the back door, through the Lodge, and outside to the mulberry
bush.
***
From inventory, take the bottle of hot sauce and ‘feed’ it to the mulberry
bush.
~~~~~~~~ [iv] ~~~~~~~~
***
Return into the Lodge.
***
Talk to Baron von Dusseldorf … particularly about his coffee and the drinking
fountain.
***
Look at the coffee percolator.
***
From inventory, take the empty Llamaland cup and fill it with coffee from the
percolator.
***
From inventory, take the cup of coffee and put it onto the Baron’s coffee on
the table.
*** No
good … The Baron spots that the cup of coffee has no foam!
*** In
inventory, take the “Llama’s own shaving cream. Now with extra foaming action”, and put it onto the cup of
coffee, creating foam … “I’m a regular barista”!
***
Again from inventory, take the cup of foaming coffee and put it onto the
Baron’s coffee.
***
You’ve now got the Baron’s cup of coffee complete with foam in your inventory.
*** In
inventory, pour the hot sauce into the foaming coffee.
***
From inventory place the spiked foaming coffee onto the Baron’s coffee.
***
Talk to the Baron again and get him to drink the hot foaming coffee, making him
very thirsty … “My mouth is on fire”!
*** He
rushes to the drinking fountain which erupts spouting water. It floods out and onto the mulberry bush.
You have now completed ALL of the 4
‘tasks,’ necessary to fertilize the mulberry bush and
hence obtain its bloom.
***
Cut scene … The Baron gleefully takes the fabled bloom of the mulberry bush and
returns to his helicopter.
***
Get Jessica to follow him to the helipad.
***
Hitch a ride to the Norwegian Alps?!?
Show tunes --- Jellicle Cats … “Noooooooooooooo”!
***
Cut scene … The Baron flies to his secret manufacturing factory in the
Norwegian Alps. He intends using the
bloom of the mulberry bush to manufacture ‘Methyl Ethyl Merman’ and conquer the
World-slash-Broadway!
P A
R T - 2
[ 6 ] Gentlemen
prefer Lederhosen.
***
The Baron arrives at the Norwegian Alps … His pilot has been eaten by a small
yeti?! Here he will produce his secret
formula and market it onto an unsuspecting world as ‘Atkins Water’!
***
Jessica has followed him there.
*** Look at the poster for Atkins water … “What a diabolical plan”!
*** Try to open the gate … “It won’t budge”.
*** Notice the (black) cinder path, click on the extreme left of it and
Jessica will walk (to the left and upwards) to the village of Kierkollamagaard
(POP. 9).
*** Opposite the Chalet Cardiovasculare are a pair of doors (not too
noticeable).
*** Open the door nearest to the snow and enter.
*** It is Frieda’s Yeti Survival Outpost.
*** Talk to Frieda.
*** “What’s that loudspeaker behind you?”.
*** Try to get her to test the loudspeaker (“YetiAlarm 2005”).
*** The alarm will only be sounded if/when the Yetimancer arrives.
***
“How can you identify the Yetimancer?”.
*** [i] “He looks very
much like your standard yeti” ~~~~~~ [ii] “Except for his
tremendous height ……” ~~~~~~ [iii] “…… and pronounced teeth”.
*** Look around the shop:- weapons of destruction; seven late husbands;
etc.
*** The Photomatic Machine has an “Out of order” notice on it. Open the curtain.
*** Enter the Photomatic … you can’t!
*** Exit the shop.
~~~~~~~~
[i] ~~~~~~~~
*** Walk past the Chalet Cardiovasculare and enter the Lederhoedown!
*** Talk to Franz the champion of the Lederhoedown.
*** You have to win at ……… {a} Yodeling; {b} Clogging;
{c} Schnapps
drinking.
*** “What do I get if I win?” … “A yeti-skin coat”!
………… {a} …………
*** Challenge Franz at yodeling.
*** He drinks some water.
*** Jessica does not know how to yodel … “I’m off to practice”.
*** Exit the Lederhoedown.
*** Walk to the left and turn right along the boardwalk.
*** Open the door to the first shop on the left (the one next to
Frieda’s) and enter --- “Y. Press...fine furriers … specializing in Yeti and
Endangered Rhino.
*** Talk to Frederick the disgruntled furrier.
*** Keep talking to him until the subject of yodeling is dealt with.
*** “Can you teach me how to yodel” … says Jessica. But Frederick will not waste his time
unless/until Jessica can prove that she’s serious.
*** Ask about the workings of the shoemaking machine and Frederick
explains.
*** Exit the shop.
*** Walk past the Chalet Cardiovasculare and the Lederhoedown and
continue to the right. Look at the giant cuckoo clock.
*** Talk to the grumpy man standing on the high stilts.
*** Keep talking to him until … “Haven’t had the chance to pick up my package
from the post office”.
*** Walk to the left and open the door to the Chalet Cardiovasculare
and enter.
*** Talk to the receptionist … “I’m here for the angry stilt man’s
package”.
*** Receive it and look at it in inventory. It is “Professor Brown’s correspondence course in yodeling.
Unfortunately it’s in Norwegian”.
*** Exit the door walk to the right, to the stilt man.
*** From inventory give him his package.
*** It’s a book, in Norwegian, and he specifically ordered it in
Esperanto.
*** Take it away ...……
*** Walk to the left and enter Frederick’s shop again.
*** From inventory give him the yodel book.
*** He gives Jessica a VERY truncated course in yodeling.
*** Continue talking to him until Jessica asks “anything else?”.
*** He gives plenty of advice and instruction … and most importantly,
“Avoid all dairy products”.
*** Exit Frederick’s and enter the Chalet Cardiovasculare.
*** Talk to the exercising man.
*** He is training for the Mr. Kierkollamagaard competition.
*** Jessica weighs herself on the scale ... 120 pounds.
*** Suggest to the man that he weighs himself.
*** He does, on the scale … 198 pounds, and he HAS to be 200 pounds in
weight.
*** Adjust the calibration mechanism on the scale … you can only do
that with a seventeen-sided medieval socket wrench.
*** Take his dairy-based protein supplement … He won’t let you, he
needs it to gain weight.
*** Exit the Chalet Cardiovasculare and walk to the right, past the
Lederhoedown and the cuckoo clock.
*** Look at the snowdrift ... “there is something inside”.
*** Take it. Jessica can’t …
“The ice is too thick”!
*** From inventory take the “Hell’s-Own Hot Sauce … guaranteed to melt
your mouth and your hand, as well as any matter in the proximity”
*** Put the hot sauce on the ice ... it melts.
*** Take the knife. It is
complete with “corkscrew, toothpick, doorstop and seventeen-sided medieval
socket wrench”.
*** Return to the Chalet Cardiovasculare.
*** Use the knife on the calibration mechanism for the scale.

winder.

*** However, the clock winder reappears and exchanges the huge pair for
a normal sized pair of stilts.

the industrial strength bleach from his counter.

teeth.
*** Did you know the Yetimancer likes cats?

It is a pretty difficult puzzle.
You can use pure trial and error … but that is unlikely to succeed. However there IS a method to the
madness which can be worked out … and once you figure that out, it’s easy. However, if you get frustrated or lose your
patience with the puzzle ………….

[ 8 ] Solution to the “Control
Panel Puzzle”.
***
You have to make all the circular lights (buttons) the same … either bright red
or dark (almost) black … it doesn’t matter which.
(Since the start-setting is random, if you want to save a little
time/effort, you can choose the color which has the majority of the 16 buttons
set at the beginning).
*** When you succeed, the small red light at the top left corner of the
puzzle will turn green … and “Curse You”!
*** To exit the completed puzzle, click the blue circular arrow at the bottom
left corner of the screen.
METHOD :-
*** Just as an example, suppose you decide to change all the red buttons to black ones, and you start (randomly) with the orientation as in the diagram below:-
A1 A2
A3 A4
C1 C2 C3 C4
D1 D2 D3 D4
*** Deal with each individual button, in ANY order, as though it is the only button there:- i.e. totally ignoring all the others (red and black) as though they don’t exist.
*** Use the mantra “BUTTON; ABOVE; BELOW; RIGHT; LEFT” and apply it to each (red … in this case) button in turn.
*** Starting with an ‘easy’ one:- Click C2; B2; D2; C3; C1. Notice that C2 has changed from red to black without ANYTHING else changing!
ALWAYS, Five (correct) clicks for any button ‘reverses’ it without affecting anything else!
*** Continue similarly with:- Click B3; A3; C3; B4; B2.
*** But what happens if the button you
need to change is on the top or bottom row.
You apply what is known as ‘wrap-around’. The row ‘above’
the top row ‘is’ the bottom row.
Likewise, The row ‘below’ the bottom row ‘is’ the top row.
***
So, click A3; D3; B3; A4; A2 … and D2; C2; A2; D3; D1.
*** Similarly:- The column ‘to the right’ of the right-most
column ‘is’ the left-most column.
Likewise, The column ‘to the left’ of the left-most column ‘is’
the right-most column.
***
So, click B4; A4; C4; B1; B3 … and C1; B1; D1;C2; C4.
***
Corner buttons are the ‘trickiest’ since you have to apply both of the above
wrap-arounds.
*** Hence:- Click A1; D1; B1 A2; A4 … and D4; C4; A4; D1; D3.
*** By now, in this example, ALL the buttons are black and you have completed the puzzle. J
