- O.K. SPOILER, BLOW BY BLOW!!!
-
- First of all, it DOES work. However, you must be standing close to the
- drawbridge. I can't remember exactly which squares, but when you are
- close enough you will know, because you will get the messages below.
- Be careful too, won't you >;->.
-
- When you play your instrument, and it askes "Improvise? (yn)" you must
- answer NO.
-
- Then you will be asked "What tune do you play (5 notes)?"
- As we all know, musical notes go from A to G, so entering other letters
- of the alphabet will not be very useful.
-
- Entering five letters from A to G, you may then hear "gears turn" and
- "tumblers click". For those that have never played Mastermind, one of
- these means you have played a correct note, but in the wrong place. The
- other means you have played the right note in the right spot. (I will
- leave it to you to work out which is which). With some trail and error
- and a bit of logic you can then work out what note goes where. When you
- get all 5 notes in the right places, the drawbridge will drop.
