The puzzles in this game weren't too hard until I came to the Russian box puzzle. (Players who have reached it know what I am talking about.) It is connected to a mechanical stairway, so it is obviously important. I pushed all the switches, turned all the knobs, carefully watching the patterns, and typed numbers into the keypad to watch what happens. I studied the Russian writing, looking for clues.
I finally found the solution, and it is genius: There is no puzzle. The box is just a counterweight to the stairway! I burst out laughing at how clever it is.
