Myst Island
The Spaceship Puzzle Go to the generator building and down the stairs until you reach a doorway, then click the blue button to open the door and gain access to a sort of control panel with two voltage meters and five rows of two buttons. Each button has a certain voltage value when lit. If you turn around as if to exit, you'll see a diagram explaining the numbering sequence for the buttons; I've put the voltage values in parentheses beside each button:
While your goal is obviously to get both voltage meters to read 59, be aware that if you go over 59 you'll blow a circuit (or something); you'll know for sure if you've "blown it" if the right meter drops to zero and remains there no matter which buttons you push. When that happens, you can set things right by exiting the generator building, climbing the ladder just behind it, and flipping the breaker switch at the top of the column. There's obviously more than one combination that adds up to 59, but we might as well use a simple one: 4, 7, 8, and 9.
This sends power to the spaceship, and you'll now be able to open the door and enter. Inside you'll find a keyboard at one end of the ship and a bank of five sliding buttons at the other. Walk to the bank of buttons and slide one, and you hear it play a musical note; the higher up you slide the button, the higher the pitch it produces. Clearly, your goal is to set the buttons to reproduce a series of five notes - but which five? Your clue is in the library in the blue book on the middle shelf - a diagram of a keyboard with five notes highlighted and numbered one through five (C, C, D sharp, F, and B flat).
This puzzle isn't nearly as hard as it first seems, provided you get the first note right. Once you do, the next step is to line up the second slider with the first then slowly slide it up, counting off the notes as you go: Second slider: Align with first
slider and move it up 12 notes When you have the sliders in the correct position, pull the lever to the right and a second book will appear; clicking on it will take you to the Selenitic Age.
