do something with the mercury in the thermostat...?

[Jubal]

YOu can't open the thermostat. You can make it hotter or colder though...

(note; the heating unit operated by the thermostat is NOT connected to the radiator).

[comrade_general]

tear the fridge apart and take out its condenser thingy

[Jubal]

THe fridge is pretty tough to tear apart, and eventually, apnting you give up. There must be a better way....

[comrade_general]

open the fridge and find a six pack, get drunk, then tear off the light switch and electrocute yourself to death  :rolleyes:

A shot gun magically appears along with 6 tons of ammo, you then proceed to blast the damn door of its hinges? :rolleyes:

right, gonna think, the door has the astronomical/alchemical symbol for mercury (albeit a bit fancier) we have a heater attached firmly to the wall, a tough fridge, a ceiling fan with a switch in reach, a thermostat unconnected to any of these things and a partially hollow solid box, and a light with a switch.

I turn off the light to see if there is another light source then turn it back on if there isn't one

I try sliding the box along the floor, it wasn't said to be secure but it cold be too heavy to lift

The thermostat has to have some way of affecting the room, so I turn it up high and see if the box warms up, that is the only object I can interact with that could be connected

[Jubal]

The box is fixed onto the wall next to te door.

There is no other light source.

The thermostat warms everything in the room up. It has a heating unit with it (not connected to the radiator).

I try breaking the thermostat off the wall

[Jubal]

Can't.

[stormcloud]

I turn all things capable of generating heat on full and then sit in/infront of the open fridge to keep myself cool, in hopes that the door will melt

[comrade_general]

Sounds like an interesting idea, but I give up. Jubal?

[Private Clark]

i give up too

[stormcloud]

yus please tell

[Jubal]

OK, the room was temperature controlled. The symbol for mercury was a clue that the 'box' conatined a mercury column, which goes up or down depending on tempperature. Thus, the aim was to get it to go down far enough to unlock the door.

You had to turn the radiator and thermostat right down, and have the fan on, and the door would unlock.

The next room will come soon.
