It's me again.  Now I realize that the dashboard is on the Macheist main page.  Still confused, though about the order in which I need to click on the dashboard. Every time I click I get a message saying "Invalid Gesture" so I must not be doing it in the right order.

Okay, I figured it out. I was clicking on the dashboard instead of dragging. Thanks

Thank so much, fellow blue team member!

Very nice walk-thru!!

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"  She said if she told me it would defeat the purpose.

I'm stuck. I went through the first part, up to the puzzle, but when I completed the puzzle and uploaded the files to the mainframe, it took me back to the briefings page, but the first briefing is still the only one available. sad Any suggestions?

I've even tried going back and doing the whole thing again, and I'm still getting stuck at the same spot. sad

Nevermind. I forgot that MacHeist doesn't like Firefox. Switched to Safari and everything's working fine.

I know I'm late to the party, but what fun it is.
Great walkthroug. Everything makes sense now.
One day I hope to grow up and be a real boy and figures these out myself.
For now I will have to work out the first half by myself, and rely on the backroom for the difficult stuff.
Thanks again for the great mission.

Excellent walk-through, as so many have already said. Certainly helped out this newbie to these games, especially because you provided those tidbits from wikipedia with information on where the code came from.

thanks!

Really thankful for you that has the patience to go thru quests like this one and the will to make walkthrus. That map-folding thing at the end must be a salute to Mad-Magazine...

Unfortunately I cant get the pdf-file at the end. Safari4 wont give it to me and neither will Firefox but since you're showing how its supposed to be done and what the result is it really doesnt matter.

if you are talking abt the number from the fish-restaurant:
call it [for example via skype] it is a number from the US so you have to dial +1 801-938-5306

if you are talking abt the first code at palminternal: just press the buttons according to the passphrase-letters from the first briefing

Definitely a great walkthrough. Especially the part with the phone number.

I mean, sure, it's a great idea to shortly change the medium, from internet to phone - for users living in the US. But I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't want to make an international call just for a game, even one as great as MacHeist.

Honi soit, qui mal y pense.

Well, but that't the purpose of puzzles. The fun is in solving them, not following a walkthrough.

I dont know if that works, I doubt it .. what I did was just download both of the pictures and use a program to overlay them.. (I used Gimp).

solve the first puzzle and upload the files that you find there to the mainframe - iStock should be in your loot after that [as far as i remember ]

@deep_dark_blue yes you're right .. he needs to solve the puzzle and hit the Upload files to Mainframe button on the page www.palminternal.com/root in order to get the iStock application.

To find the gesture pad just go to www.macheist.com and on the main page you should be able to find it, it looks like this:

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4493/picture1dwc.png

It's possible that you see a different pad there like something to enter numbers, but if you click on that pad it will drop down and reveal the gesture pad.

So every time we solve a mission we end up with a gesture that we need to enter into this pad by click and drag with your mouse to connect the required dots. When you enter the right gesture you see a short clip of a vault door opening and then you can enjoy your loot smile

ok, I didn't know you fixed his solution, sorry about that, I'll add you in there.

and about the scroll.. I know you had a print screen of yours on your walkthrough, but this one I made myself, I solved the puzzle again to take the screenshot of the scroll .. but if it's so important to you I can thank you for the inspiration of taking a screen shot of that scroll .. smile
