Title: Christmas Quest 2
Post by: paolo on Mon 01/01/2007 11:30:16
This game is taking a bit of thinking, but I'm making good progress...

Any hints on either of the following?
Spoiler

1. What sticky substance to use with the carrot.

Spoiler

2. How to use the seesaw. The elf says the head will slide off

Thanks! It's a great game, by the way.

Yay, I've completed it! Excellent game!

BTW for those of you wondering where it is, you have to download it from the website - the download link does not work.

make a popcorn cushion and put it on the board at the sink. The elf can then jump down safely (this coward)

Can;t believe I missed that one - got a lousy cold and the old brain cells not working too well this work  ;)

Have done clock puzzle but still can't stick head to see saw - or aren't I supposed to do that?

I have the corkscrew, pan,Ã,  the carrot but not sure what to do. I see the wrench up in the tree but can't figure out how to get it. I see the hole in the tree but what do I put there?

have you collected sticky stuff?  Dip carrot in sticky stuff and then you can perhaps try to bung the leak with it[\hide]

The seesaw is a little bit tricky.

Hint 1
Spoiler

You'll have already had the physics lesson about round things rolling. How do you stop a boiled egg rolling around on a plate?
[close]

Hint 2
Spoiler

Rubber gives a good grip.
[close]

Solution
Spoiler

Put the tyre on the seesaw and the snowman's head in the tyre. You will need to have cut the tyre down first, and before you can do that, you need to do something else.

Once you have done that, the puzzle isn't over - prepare to do a bit more thinking!

Hint 1
Spoiler

You want to plug the leak in the kitchen, don't you?
[close]

Hint 2
Spoiler

Try using the carrot.
[close]

Hint 3
Spoiler

That almost works - you need something to make it hold.
[close]

Hint 4
Spoiler

Use something sticky.
[close]

Hint 5
Spoiler

What kind of tree is that in the garden?
[close]

Hint 6
Spoiler

Maples have sticky sap.
[close]

Solution
Spoiler

Put some sap from the tree on the carrot, then plug the leak with it. You'll need to use something on the tree to get the sap, but that's another puzzle.
