Q: How do I access the patient files at Catskill?

Back to previous question

A: There were a couple of clues about this puzzle on Rational Hatter, weren't there?
Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: "Whereas the clinic number pad is not obviously a number pad, and the correlations of image-to-number often depend on a sort of diffuse intuitive cultural knowledge that would be very unlikely to find programmed into an artificial intelligence {exception: the dream AIs working at the clinic, who must be saturated in the iconography of the human collective unconscious} but once the numerical associations are known the code itself is obvious. "

Q: Which buttons correspond to which numbers?

Back to previous question

A: What other numbers can you identify?
Back to previous question

Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: What does the prefix mono- mean?
Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: The monolith must represent 1. (Mono- means 1, and it sort of looks like a 1, as well.)

Q: Which number should I use?
A: Of course, the Rational Hatter clue doesn't say *which* invoice, so it can't be anything about Nostradamus in particular.
Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: So just figure out the code from Martin's invoice and punch it into the number pad.
Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: It's not Martin's UAM this time.
Back to previous question
Back to the map


A: But it is another four digit code.
