Alessa was about to press the button, when her eyes narrowed and a sudden insight hit her in the face.
Or the paralysis. She was sure it was at least a static jolt on her right arm.
"...Or, maybe we are overthinking this. Or I'm beginning to go crazy. Either way, let's simplify this. I've got the indication that, maybe, we could easily solve this in four strokes than in more than such. I hit the Eastern button once, then follow up by you, Zane, then whomever hits West then North in quick succession."She pointed at the numerals.
233926112 "Trying to find a pattern here, the only point that makes sense is to find..err, patterns. That's what I was taught as a guard, anyway--there's always a pattern to any crime, or puzzle, even if there seems to be none (otherwise, blame the environment for killing the victim). Paralysis of mind aside, look at it again."23392611...2 "Err, alright, it makes less sense if you think about it that way, but really. If this is like the Ixion clock, then perhaps the last two numerals equal a twelve, which pertains to the Northern cardinal direction. So East, West, South and North, in that order."Alessa was not aware of the idea that she said otherwise before pointing out the pattern.
"That's...my guess, anyway. When I was a kid, I loved listening to the orators and philosophers, and what struck me was the sheer simplicity in their enigmas, that it was very simple despite the complexity. So...yeah, I've no idea what the two, three, two and one mean. Maybe the timing, in seconds? Zane, switch with me, if we go wrong by the second try, I get the hit. Seems fair?"Switch to South, Zane to E- wait oops.((I won't edit that out >_>))
"Wait, that one was the paralysis. Nevermind. Stay there Zane."
