ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

I'm really struggling with the clues, I know the technique of subing in letters that might fit into words and have a few clues broken but my impatience is really getting the better of me after 2 weeks I feel incredibly stupid.....does anyone know of any decyphering sites or could anyone help me out with a few spoilers??

Your help would be awesome!!!

Cheers,

Mark

That damn 3rd ball bearin
Guest

Code cracking!

Mark,

I got mine for xmas and have to say I am frustrated also. I have cracked all my codes and the cartouches on the box, and am now trying to realease the 3rd ball bearing!

With regard cracking the codes, all I can say without giving it away entirely is to look for words with Capital letters and work from there, also look for words such as you and the, then take it bit by bit and you will soon get the hang of it! It looked like a maamouth task to me at first, but when you set your mind to it, it isn't all that bad, from what I can make out, it is a farly random code, watch out for the typo's in the clues, they don't mean anything as far as I can gather, and you can esily tell what they should say!

Good luck Dude!

How do you get the second ball bearing? also can anyone help me desipher the clues?


deciphering the clues is easy... check for the word such as Bmbm... which is obviosly Isis... and then just guess... decipher the 3 letter words 1st... good luck!!

once you have deciphered the clues it explains about the 2nd ball bearing...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
you should always be able to hear two ball bearings. try tilting your head and resting Isis on your ear. give it a good shake and listen closely. the sounds overlap and change, so there must be two balls. okay?!!!


by the way, plunger depressed about 1cm is normal and is the 1st stage, so 0.5cm must be at the halfway point.

COME ON GUYS WE CAN CRACK THIS!!!!!!

The look neat, stanners, but hard to really see. There is so much going on in your page (a little bit distracting) and the xrays are in a weird slide show.

Can you post them on flickr or attach a few here?

I know these aren't the clearest the originals are really clear but I had to take a picture of the x rays on my digital camera the originals are awesome!

It looks like there are loads of ball bearings but these are the ones that give is the click when we twist, so dont freak out! I suppose I can hear 3 whenever I twist the dials!

Its a good job I just have some spare gamma radiation photography equipment lying around my spare room....although it does explain alot!

if anyone see's this as spoiling it for them feel free to have them taken off, I was just intrigued what was inside.....I was imagining some dark magic/ chocolate orange.....I am now satisfyed.

I'm not using it to crack it open...although I don't think I could!!
