7Th Guest, stuck a microscope [HELP]

[James Manios]

Hello Everyone,

As the title suggest, I'm stuck at the microscope puzzle in
the 7Th Guest. This is the last puzzle left, (to the best of
my knowledge), and I JUST can't win. My question is this, is
there a cheat, or file editor, so I can get around this one
puzzle?? I'm desperate!! Being so close to the end of the game
and then to be stopped COMPLETELY sucks!

PLEASE!!! If you know ANY information that could help here please
reply!!

Thanks!

First, this isn't the last puzzle to solve, you have quite a few more to go.
Different areas of the house are made available to you as you solve various
puzzles. More will become available after you solve this one.

As far as solving the microscope puzzle, this is the hardest one in the game.
It has a very good AI engine that can anticipate a number of moves ahead to
select the best one (although it does have some holes in it). It took me
about 100 tries before I beat it. There is no known standard set of moves to
defeat it.

You can "cheat" by going to the library and reading the book three times. The
first time you go, you get a "vague" hint. The second time, you get a more
direct hint, the third time the puzzle is solved for you. This can be done
for any puzzle (except the last one). To get to the library from the lab
(where the microscope puzzle is) you turn left and move forward through the
ventilation screen (?) and you'll end up in the library reading the book. You
can't get back out through the door you came in.

The downside to going to the library to solve a puzzle is that in some cases
you don't get to see the video clip that follows, which you would see if you
solved it normally. It doesn't matter much, though, since the video clips
have little (if anything) to do with finishing the game.

Uh, you mean besides the BUILT-IN hint book in the library that solves
puzzles for you on the third visit?

Just go to the hint book in the library, return to the microscope, repeat two more
times and it will be "completed".
