Of course, a lighthouse is typically a WARNING OF DANGER and indicates DO NOT APPROACH. Do we really want this thing opened? If it does open that is...

has agent lex had a reply from violet yet it may just provide us with the info we need to solve this conclusively,

once she comes back to us it may be worth getting info on the light house and if it exists although that might come from behind the painting:

i feel a treasure hunt brewing

i do like reptiles solve of matching the checkerboard as best as we can and getting the light blue to form a diamond when put together

i think we could be nearly there!!!!!

yeah right

I just emailed Scarlett with this (assuming LilPickle-Amplizine has the right solution) since it would be impossible otherwise. Obviously there is the other possibility that the 8 o'clock block is the handle but that seems unlikely to me.

I think the background pattern should be ignored. It would just be there so that at a casual glance the whole pattern didn't stand out. If it were just the 6 buttons then it would scream "I'm a puzzle, come press and turn bits". Therefore its relating JUST to the 6 buttons and their colours... anyone with me on this one?

Scarlett does say there are 6 colours btw, so its not a trick of the light shade thing, it's supposed to look like 6 shades.

I've spent an hour looking for classic puzzles etc but can't find anything. I still think taking an axe to it is faster Very Happy

The other thought was that as its 6 squares and the whole theme is regarding a cube... if you stuck all those sides together on a cube is there any relevance, and if so... can that be transposed back onto a 2d plain ?

I've been looking at the 12 & 8 o'clock pieces to see if there is anything obvious (assuming these 2 are correctly positioned, otherwise what's the point ((..the sharp bit at the end? sorry Embarassed

))) but see nothing.

IMHO the solve is similar to Bokgonn's :
12 - stuck
2 - no move
4 - 1 turn clockwise
6 - 1 turn anticlockwise
8 - stuck
10 - no move
However 4 & 10 may then need anywhere up to a further 3 moves each to get the right combo.

EDIT: Bokgonn's thinking about a cube has led me to thinking we need to get the blocks aligned so each of the 4 squares of the same colour are in different positions. This would tie in with the hint we've been given that 12 & 8 don't move . def not this it isn't possible, back to my suggestion above

Just got up this morning and had another look at Scarlett's reply... the only thing bugging me now about this cube idea is her statement...

I agree with Rubick's cube, ie turns to get the six same colours on six faces. Thinking about shuffled ages ago it appealed to me that a deck of cards plus 2 jokers would fit on a normal rubick's cube.

Don't know if this makes any since, but try this.
I can't explain it, but maybe you will know what i mean.
It creates a pattern when 2 (2X2) are put side by side.

Oh and 1 should say 12.
