I don't think I got the one diving, I tried countless times though ARGHHHH... after looking for this stupid gold piece conduits seem like fun:P

> Got the gold outside the tower... I'm stupid all that time diving and looking where the Sphinx was:) Just finished the game though... How often do they bring new ones out? I've nearly finished GOA, POA seems too hard for my little brain (I'm going to get my dad to figure the conduit thing for me, he's an electrician:P). After that I've finished them all:( Takes me back to my first computer C64...those were the days

Geez. I think my Dad still has our old Commodore 64.

Back on topic - the conduit puzzle, like most POA puzzles, isn't a math or engineering puzzle so much as it requires you to be able to visualize things. Best analogy I've ever been able to come up with is taking the east/west halves of the Coriolis as two halves of a bagel (or a donut), each with 6 conduits that line up on top of each other by number.

(That is, if you took the whole bagel and stabbed a toothpick through where M01E was on the east half, it'd come out through the point where M01W is on the west half.)

I drew the two halves and worked it out on paper. I think the game DOES give you a visual when you talk to Johnson.

And I'm rambling, I know. I'll save it for when you're actually on that puzzle.
