Magnetic Revisited

Overview

There are 16 games created for you on the island, each "guarded" by a puzzle that must first be solved - this provides you with a clue for the location of the associated game. You can use the Puzzle Book and Game Book provided by your companion to jump quickly to puzzles and games you have previously seen.

You do not have to complete the game in the order outlined below, but this gives directions for how to locate each of the puzzles first, followed by each of the games. You must solve the puzzles before gaining access to the corresponding games. The first paragraph for each puzzle/game gives directions on finding them (in terms of movements from your starting position on the beach).

Puzzle 6: Number Puzzle Box

Right 4 times and forward 9 times, then click on the symbol on the rock.

The tin contains the controls to make equations consisting of the numbers 1-4 and the standard arithmetic symbols. Your job is to make equations that result in the numbers 0 through 7 - each equation must use each of the numbers 1 through 4, and each operator only once. Note that multiply and divide take precedence over add and subtract. There are many possible solutions, but here is a working set:

• 0 = 1 + 4 / 2 - 3
• 1 = 2 + 3 - 4 x 1
• 2 = 2 x 3 - 4 / 1
• 3 = 4 x 1 - 3 + 2
• 4 = 4 / 2 - 1 + 3
• 5 = 4 x 1 + 3 - 2
• 6 = 4 x 2 - 3 + 1
• 7 = 4 / 2 x 3 + 1

This will give access to Game 6.

Games

Game 1: Nim 2D

Right 3 times and forward. Find a small golden lever on the right.

The game starts with a random number of metallic pieces on the beach, and a lever at the bottom right. The aim of the game is to remove the last piece - with each turn between 1 and 3 pieces can be removed. The technique to win is to always leave the computer with a multiple of 4 pieces to choose from.

Press the button in the middle of the lever to start the game. Once the pieces are displayed, if a multiple of 4 is present, move the handle up to the left (to make the computer go first); if not, move it down to the right. When you have removed as many pieces each turn as you want (to leave a multiple of 4), push the lever to signify the end of your turn. Win the game a number of times to light up all the indicators on the lever. You must win a total of 4 rounds.

Game 2: Nim 3D

Right 3 times, forward 10 times, left twice, forward 3 times, right and forward. Find a small golden lever up on the rock.

The aim here is the same as for the game in Nim 2D - you must remove the final piece. This time you can remove as many pieces as you want as long as they are of the same color. The way to win is to put the opponent in a position where there are 2 colors remaining and they have an equal number of pieces. Other positions you should be able to win from are 1, 2 and 3 pieces of the three colors, and similarly 1, 4 and 5. You must win a total of 4 rounds.

Game 3: Make 27

Right 5 times. Click on the glass cylinder.

The goal is to be the last to point water into the cylinder from one of the containers, making a total volume of 27 units. To win, you should aim to start by reaching levels of 3, 9, 15 or 21, as any two subsequent moves can be made to add up to a combined volume of 6. You must win a total of 4 rounds.

Game 4: Senet

Left 3 times, forward twice, left, forward, click the rock if the passage is closed, then continue forward twice, left, forward 6 times, right and forward. Click on the symbol, then find a game within a tin.

Game 5: Ships

Left 3 times, forward, left and forward 3 times. Find a game next to the fallen tree.

This is a puzzle game where you must use logic to identify the locations of 10 ships within a grid of squares, similar to the classic game Battleship. You are given the extra information of how many squares in each row and column contain parts of ships. In addition, each ship is completely surrounded by water. You must win a total of 4 rounds, and can make up to 10 mistakes each round.

Game 6: Fitchneal

Right 4 times and forward 9 times, then click on the symbol on the rock. The game is within the puzzle box.

You can choose to either defend (easier) where you must make the king (central piece) escape to the edge of the board, or attack (harder) where you must surround the king on all four sides. Pieces can be removed from the board by surrounding them on two opposite sides. The defending player always goes first, and pieces can be moved as rooks in a game of chess (as far as you want either horizontally or vertically). If you label the columns A-I from left to right, and the rows 1-9 from top to bottom, the following is a winning series of moves for the defending player that will work most of the time: E3-C3, E4-C4, D5-D4, F5-F4, E5-E3, C3-C1, C4-C2, E3-B3, B3-B1.

Game 8: Boxes

• 3 blue
• 2 blue
• 1 blue
• 1 blue, 1 gold
• 2 blue, 1 gold
• 1 blue, 2 gold
• (blank)
• 1 gold

You choose one of your bowls when it is your turn, and distribute the number of objects one at a time into the following bowls in an anti-clockwise direction (e.g. 3 pieces would be spread out over the following 3 bowls). If the last piece is placed in your goal, you get another turn. If the last piece is placed in an empty space and there are pieces in the opposite bowl, all are deposited in your goal. If you or your opponent clears all pieces on your side, the other player gets to claim all remaining pieces as their own.
