This page provides hints (and solutions) to the experiment 2126 puzzles. Be aware that later hints may reveal solutions to earlier ones. To avoid spoilers, we recommend starting with hint 1 and progressing through the hints in order until you reach the point where you need guidance.
STORYLINE PUZZLES
The section below contains the hints associated with the three puzzles found in the Experiment 2126 storyline.
Search the story and pictures above to find out how far from the shore and how deep the labratory is from the surface (make sure you search the text and pictures for the clues). Use this information to help you find the correct values in the tables.
Use the formula in the notebook to calculate the temperature percentage for the suit (oxygen plus pressure).
The first table in the notebook can be used to determine that since you are 2km offshore, the corresponding oxygen calibration level is 64%.
The second table in the notebook can be used to determine that since you diving 60m down, the corresponding pressure calibration level is 24% (the table is in multiples of 8 - 8, 16, 24, 32).
The formula in the notebook can be used to determine the temperture calibration level: T = 64 + 24 = 88%.
Final solution:
Oxygen = 64%
Pressure = 24%
Temperature = 88%
Notice the shape above each dial. Have a look at the front of the laboratory to see if you can spot these shapes anywhere.
The quantity of each type of shape that you spot matters. The "LAB" text on the building contains one shape.
Look for shapes inside of shapes. There are some triangles and rectangles you may have missed.
If you pay close attention to the laboratory image you will notice:
6 triangles (5 located in the bottom right corner of the building and 1 in the "A" of "LAB".
2 circles (one from the sun symbol and one that from the keyhole)
9 rectangles (3 from the door, 1 from the keyhole, 4 from the dial lock, and 1 from the building itself).
Final solution: 629
Look for each of the items listed on the note within the image of the laboratory room.
Each item will give you a number which together form the code for the safe.
What time is it?
Take a look at the bigger picture for the book shelf and periodic table.
The beaker has evenly spaced lines along the side - what could this mean?
Pay close attention to the letters of the relevant elements on the periodic table, imagine they are next to each other.
Look at all the coloured books together, does it look like these together could form a number?
The clock on the wall indicates it is 7.
The books on the bookshelf are arranged in a way that they display the number 4 when looked at all together.
The beaker is filled with liquid up to the fith (5) line.
The paper on the floor indicates that the 8th and 10th element are a clue (810). These are Oxygen (O) and Neon (Ne). If you put these two together you can see the word ONe (1).
Final solution: 7451
PUZZLE BOX
The section below contains the hints associated with the physical Experiment 2126 puzzle box.
One of the side panels is not like the other. Notice the arrows on one of them?
Use the translation chart on the inside of the detached side panel to decipher the symbols on the dials. Look for any other symbols on the box that could help you figure out the correct combination.
Once the correct code has been entered, pulling on a certain piece will set it free.
Doesn't the end of the piece you pulled out look familiar? Maybe there is a keyhole for it.
Did a piece just move? Look around the box for an object that is sticking out.
Once you have fully opened the compartment, a tool will be provided. This must be used to make another small piece move.
The piece that has been moved has certainly created some free real estate. Maybe some other piece can take up this space.
The slider has stepped aside. It must have been blocking something, right?
Once the internal pin is in the extracted position, a core piece of the puzzle will come loose.
Jeez! That core must have been holding something in place.
You're going to want to have your translation chart handy - unless you speak alien that is.
The final box is held in place by an inertial lock.
