A Bonte Escape

filled up the blue and orange dots and I have the codes off of the computer. But what do I do with them? And where do I find the yellow dot?

Got the code for the laptop and the orange from watering the tree next to the couch but can't get the safe code.

you need to check all the folders on the lap top...the numbers are not ratios and there is one missing

ratios...that aren't really ratios?

How in the world do I figure out the safe code? I've figured out that I need to fill on three tubs with the designated/color coordinated liquid. How do I figure out the safe combo?

A helpful idea is to replace the : with a =

Click the glass, click the watercooler, click the button on the watercooler, click the glass again, click to move to the other screen, click the plant, click the orange, click to move to another screen, click to open the drawer, click the orange, click the juicer, realize you forgot to put the glass there, start over.

Does it have something to do with the picture in the room with the bird?

Got stuck on the third number after I figured out the ratios . . . it took me a minute to realize that I could just cycle through the digits looking for the last number!

1. Click on rug, take paper, go right.

2. Take funnel on table, open right door, take glass fill glass with water.

3. Go right, click under cage, take funnel, go right.

4. Take funnel from planter, water plant, take orange. Click seat cushion, take paper scrap. Note the painting above (blue, orange and yellow). Go left.

5. Go left (or right) twice. Open left cabinet door, place glass, put orange on juicer. Go right.

6. Place three funnels in holes above machine. Pour juice in second funnel. Repeat. Then pour plain water in first funnel. Repeat. Then place one glass of juice and one glass of water in third funnel (matching painting in room with chair). Hit red switch. Bird chirps 3x, 1x, 5x. Note painting above shows ..8. (_ _ 8 _ OR 3:8 OR 3=8).

7. Go right. Click on computer, enter code from paper scraps (121946). Open file. Find three codes (2:2, 1:5, 4:9 OR 1=5, 2=2, 4=9). Make note of colors on computer screen after closing files (green, orange, blue, yellow, brown). Go Left.

8. Enter code from files and painting on safe (5289). Open safe. Enter colors from computer screen on brown box. Open brown box. Enter bird chirps on red safe. Open red safe. Take key, Use key on door. ESCAPE!

To get the yellow liquid, try mixing what you have already.

Yellow is a pale, watered-down version of orange. Also, remember that you can put 2 glasses of liquid into each circle.

oo8o

it starts twittering and the number of "twit"s is the red safe code
like "twit-twit twit twit-twit-twit" would be 2-1-3

use the number of "twits" given by the bird once he gets the magic formula. there will be three sets of "twits"

A hint would be "orange and white make yellow". I use the term "white" loosely.

the yellow thing is one glass orange and one water
the combination of the safe the bird will "sing" it after you give it the food and water.

Try mixing things up. :)

Gathering items:

1. Click the red mat and collect the scrap of paper.

2. Turn right, and pick up funnel #1 from the counter.

3. Open the right cabinet, and pick up the glass.

4. Turn right, click under the cage, and pick up funnel #2.

5. Turn right, click the chair cushion, and collect the scrap of paper.

6. Get funnel #3 from the tree pot.

7. Note the three paintings of circles on the wall, from left to right: blue, orange, yellow.

The computer:

1. The computer's password interface consists of an array with the numbers 0-9. Clearly, we have to push them in some order.

2. Click on the scraps of paper and the item magnifier to view them. Note how they have a jagged edge, as if they would fit together.

   If you put them together, it makes the code 121946.

3. Input this code into the computer to gain access.

4. Note the 5 colors in the desktop background, from left to right: green, orange, blue, yellow and gray.

5. Exploring the directory tree, we find 3 sets of numbers, found as follows:

   right->left->left->2:2

   right->middle->1:5

   right->right->left->4:9

   That's all we can do here.

Feeding the bird:

1. Looking at the cage, we see a box with three circular windows in it, and a switch, connected to the feeding tube. Where have we seen three circles before?

   The paintings on the walls. We need to fill the feeding box with liquid to make the colors from the paintings. Each circle takes 2 glasses of liquid to fill.

2. You also need to use the funnels with the holes at the top of the box before you can fill them.

3. Here's how to fill each circle:

   Left circle - 2 glasses of water. To get water:

   Put your glass on the water cooler and click to fill. Then, pick up the glass, and use it on the funnel.

   Middle circle - 2 glasses of orange juice. To get orange juice:

   Fill a glass with water and use it on the tree next to the chair(not the plant on top of the cage) to get an orange.

   Go to the cabinet and open the left door. Put the empty glass by the juicer, and use the orange on the juicer. Pick up your glass, and use it on the funnel.

   Right circle - 1 glass of water and 1 glass of orange juice. Apparently, water is clear now, not blue.

4. Press the switch and watch the bird drink. Take note of the pattern of chirps the bird makes.

   3, then 1, then 5.

   That's all we can do here.

Opening the safe:

1. We need 4 numbers to open the safe.

2. Think back to the numbers we got from the computer. They aren't ratios - think of them as pairs of numbers, instead.

3. The number on the left is the position in the code, and the number on the right is the number that goes in that spot.

4. From the computer, we have:
   1 5
   2 2
   3 ?
   4 9

5. You will need to find what the missing number would be, check the painting on the wall for a clue.

6. The painting looks something like this: ..8. indicating an "8" in the 3rd position. This is exactly what we need! So the code would be:

   5289

7. Input that into the safe and click the handle to open. And, woah, another safe!

8. This one is a color code. Where have we seen a sequence of 5 colors before?

   That's right, the computer desktop.

   Input, from left to right, green-orange-blue-yellow-gray

   For the colorblind, the number of clicks: 3-4-2-1-0

9. Input that into the safe, and click the handle to open. Another safe?!?!?

10. Now we need a sequence of 3 numbers. Where have we seen 3 numbers before?

11. Remember the pattern of chirps the bird made.

    3, then 1, then 5.

12. Input 3 1 5 into the safe, and click the handle to open.

13. Get the key, and use it on the door.

And you're out!

Let's get to it.

1. Lift the front right corner of the carpet, take paper.

2. Go left. Take the funnel from next to the tree.

3. Lift the cushion on the chair to get the piece of paper.

4. Note the pictures.

   Blue, Orange, Yellow.

5. Go left. Look under the cage, get the funnel. I have no idea what the significance of the picture is; as far as I can tell, it has none.

6. Go left. Take the funnel from the desk. Take the glass from the right cupboard.

7. Zoom in on the computer. Look at your pieces of paper-they are obviously cut apart, so you know which one goes first.

   Hmmm, 121 946.

   Click on the numbers on the computer: 121946 (there is no clicking sound or any visible sign that you clicked on anything.

8. Now you have the computer on: a file folder.

   And some really ugly wallpaper.

   Note the colors of the wallpaper.

   green, orange, blue, yellow, brown.

9. Open the file folder: more file folders! Open each and every folder. In three of them you will find documents with what look like ratios. Most of them have nothing.

   1:5 4:9 2:2

Now comes the "fun" part.

1. Put the glass in the cooler, push the button, collect your full glass of water. Go right. You can water the plant on the cage but it doesn't do anything. Put the three funnels in the holes on top of the tank.

2. Go right. Water the tree. Get orange.

3. Go left (or right) twice. Open the left side of the desk, and put your glass into the juicer. Juice the orange, take the glass of orange juice.

4. Go right once, and pour the glass of orange juice into the middle funnel. Repeat the above steps again. Do it a third time and put ONE glass of orange juice in the right hand funnel.

5. Get another glass of water and put it in the left funnel. Repeat. Repeat, except this time put it in the right funnel.

   See? Blue, Orange, Yellow. Pull the handle, and the bird starts flying around.

   Chirping.

6. Pay attention to his chirp.

   3-1-5

Wasn't that fun? Let's escape.

1. Go to the safe. Remember the ratios?

   1:5 4:9 2:2 Maybe the first number should be a 5, the fourth number will be a 9, and the second number will be a 2. But what about the third?

   Time for the brute force approach. Put in 5-2-0-9. Pull the handle. Nope. Change the 0 to a 1 and try again. Eventually you will get the right number and the safe will open.

   (It's 8)

2. Now we have a color puzzle. Where have we seen a sequence of 5 colors?

   The computer wallpaper. Put those colors in that order.

   green, orange, blue, yellow, brown

3. Now we have another number puzzle. What three digit numbers have we come across?

   Think of the bird.

   He's chirping in a pattern.

   3-1-5

And there's the key, your outta here!

It shows an 8 in the third position. Combined with the "ratios," this give the full code.

the third funnel and how to get the orange

the first terms in each one indicate the order the second terms should appear, -and- can be substituted for each other in the two scraps of paper and still give you the right code.

"There seems to be a pattern, and you need to find what the missing set of number would be, but I couldn't figure it out."

"...a weird picture on the wall that I think must be a clue and looks like:

oo8o"

I figured out the premise, and had the blue and orange compartments filled. I was convinced there was bird seed in the final brown safe, but couldn't figure out how to get the combination for it. For some reason, I began punching in numbers in sequence, starting with 312, then 412, 512, etc. After trying this for about a minute, it opened. Wasn't I surprised when I found the key to the door inside.

picture above the cage. Notice . . 8 . ?

You had to mix water and orange juice in the funnel. I thought there was a lemon somewhere.

watering, squeezing, and mixing

the hint for the third digit is on the wall. In fact, I found that one before I figured any other digit.

Painting with the orange dots

Noticed the painting with orange dots on the wall?
