Floor 2 Puzzle

The floor two puzzle opened with the new area and was completed in the first week of the chapter.

QWERTY Cipher + Hexadecimal Lock
In the Computational History exhibit, there were brochures containing encrypted text."'VKRD NJYCFDC XKWGH XKW GNLJXZYC YKYDGH GNFDD'"This uses a cipher based ​on the standard QWERTY keyboard. To translate, go one row down to the diagonal right on the keyboard (or two up if it is the bottom row). For example, when encrypting, A becomes Z, Z becomes Q, and Q becomes A. To decrypt, this process is reversed. The above text then becomes:"Five hundred sixty six thousand, ninety three."This number, 566093, is then translated into hexadecimal."524288+40960+768+64+13 = 8A34D."this combination was entered into the lock in the weather zone, allowing access to the rain control panel and a large coin. This coin was put into the suggestion box in the Clean Energy Center, which gave players a riddle.

Wind Tube Riddle
"An hour in terms of heavne

And a greater distance than average. But do not forget

To add a u"

This was the settings for the wind tube in the weather zone.

An hour [60] in terms of heavne [angel to angle]

And a greater distance [mph] than average [more than ten]. But do not fo[u]rget

To add [10+4] a u.

This dropped the Static Battery.

Static Battery
By rubbing the static battery on carpet, it was charged with static electricity.

Letter Scrolls
Instead of waiting for instruction, players went through all 78 scrolls and found a scrap of paper in each of the scrolls labeled X. When put together, the following graph was made:

To find instruction for this, players could have attached the static battery and see the three X flashes at startup.

Vaccuum Tube Pole
Players used the graph made from scraps in the X scrolls to figure out which buttons to press. When completed correctly, the pole flashed on and off a few times. There is no indication of where to go next.

Reward
This gave the players a mouse and keyboard, so they now can access the modus-save website, the counting systems guide, and the sheet music for hot cross buns.
