Here’s a simple recipe for making your own homemade insecticidal soap using ordinary household ingredients. Homemade Insecticidal Soap Recipe. The simplest insecticidal soap is nothing more than a 2% soap solution. Insecticidal soap for aphids.

5 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 5 → 4 → 1 → 2 → 5 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 5 → 4 → 5

On a PC:

5 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 5 → 4 → 1 → 2 → 5 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 5 → 6 → 3 → 2 → 1 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 3 → 2

Maze puzzle[edit]

Find your way to the Crypt puzzle at the end of the maze.

Solution

Follow the route from 'START' to 'FINISH'.

Crypt puzzle[edit]

Your goal is to close all the coffin lids. There is a simple pattern to the way the lids open and close:

1. When one of the corner coffins is clicked, the three lids adjacent to it in the shape of a square flip from open to closed or vice versa.
2. on the lids in the center of the sides, and all three lids on that edge flip.
3. on the center coffin flips the lids of the adjacent coffins horizontally and vertically.

Solution

As the layout of the coffin lids is random at the start, there is no set solution to the problem. However, you may use the following table to form a solution. Number the coffins going left to right, top to bottom so that the top left coffin is 1 and the bottom right coffin is 9. Then, to close a coffin while leaving the others in their original state:

Note that each list of coffins can be clicked in any order.

To find an optimal solution for any starting configuration simply use the table above to count the number of times each coffin must be clicked (for example if coffins 1, 2, and 6 were open at the start just blindly following the above lists you'd have to click coffin 1 twice, coffin 2 three times, coffin 3 once, coffin 4 twice, and so on.) Then, any coffin that you would have clicked an odd number of times you need only click once; any coffin that you would have clicked an even number of times need not be clicked at all. (Again, using the same example where you want to close 1, 2, and 6 you would click once on each of 2,3,5,7,8,9.) Since each coffin is clicked once at most, the puzzle is solvable in nine clicks or less.

Once the puzzle is solved clicking the cursor when it displays the 'look to the side' pointing finger will result in you exiting the entire room (by climbing into one of the coffins, for.. Some reason), and re-emerging in the kitchen. There's no need to traverse the awful maze again, though - just head straight to the drawing-room before you do anything else, and click on the book to be taken straight back to the crypt puzzle.

Card puzzle[edit]

• First solution.

• Second solution.

Flip over all the cards. Only cards in line on a row or column can be flipped.

Solution

Follow the route from the to the .

Knight puzzle[edit]

The Knight puzzle is similar to the Bishop puzzle in that the white knights must replace the black knights, and vice versa. Knights can only move in an 'L' shape of two squares by one.

Solution

One way of getting the knights across the board is by moving the knights on the following squares in sequence. The squares are lettered from left to right and numbered from top to bottom:

A4 → C5 → B3 → A5 → C4 → E3 → D1 → B2 → C4 → A3 → C2 → E1 → D3 → C1 → E2 ↵

C3 → B1 → D2 → C4 → E5 → D3 → C5 → B3 → A1 → C2 → A3 → C4 → E3 → C2 → E1 ↵

D3 → B4 → A2 → C1 → B3 → D4 → E2 → C1 → B3 → D4 → B5 → C3 → E4 → D2 → B3 ↵

D4 → E2 → C3 → D5 → E3 → D1 → C3 → D5 → B4 → A2 → C1 → E2 → C3

Coin puzzle[edit]

• First solution.

• Second solution.

Turn over all the coins. Once a coin is turned over, only the coins along the column above, below or on the row to the right or left of it can be flipped.

Solution

Follow the route from 1 to 15, then 1 to 21.

Spider puzzle[edit]

The aim of this puzzle is replace each of the purple dots on the points of the star with a spider.

Solution

Pick any dot to start with, then pick another dot that is connected to it via a straight line. A spider will walk from the first dot to the second dot replacing the second dot. Now pick a dot that is connected to the first dot by a straight line and click on that dot and the first dot. Repeat the process, always sending a spider to the last dot that you sent a spider from. You will end up on a last dot with all the others occupied by spiders.

Picture puzzle[edit]

The aim of the puzzle is to recreate the original picture by flipping over the individual pieces. on the buttons on the sides of the frame flip the pictures on that row either forwards or backwards. on the buttons on the top and bottom of the frame do the same with the vertical columns.

Solution

Start off by flipping the columns until the centre row of the picture is correct. Then flip the top row until it is correct, then do the same with the bottom row. If you get an odd square on any of the rows, then the puzzle is unsolvable and you will have to restart it.

Blocks puzzle[edit]

The aim of this puzzle is to form three words reading from left to right. The columns can be rotated up, down, left and right by on the edge of the square in the direction you wish the column or row to move.

Solution

To complete the puzzle you need to spell: GET BOY TAD. Complete it by performing the following moves:

1. Column 1: down one.
2. Column 3: up one.
3. Row 1: right one.
4. Row 3: left one.
5. Column 1: down one.
6. Column 3: up one.
7. Row 1: right one.
8. Row 3: left one.

Floor puzzle[edit]

The aim is to get from the arrow in the bottom left to the arrow at the top right. You step onto the final arrow as the last blocks drop. As you step off the coloured blocks, they drop away behind you according to a certain rule. Standing on:

• Purple, the block will fall after three steps.
• Orange, the block will fall after two steps.
• Blue, the block will fall after one step.

Solution

Follow the route from start to finish.

Microscope puzzle[edit]

The Microscope puzzle is similar to the game of Ataxx: the idea is to have more blobs of blue (your colour) than green when the whole tray is full. Your blobs can move in one of two ways:

1. Moving one space in any direction duplicates the blob to fill that space.
2. Moving two spaces vacates the original space, and moved the blob to the new space. If the space you move into is adjacent to any green blobs, those blobs turn blue.

Solution

There is no sequential solution to the game, it's just a matter of you working out the right strategy to win.

Painting puzzle[edit]

Your goal is to change the painting back to the human likeness of Stauf. There is a simple pattern to the way the lid parts of the painting change. When one of the corner squares is clicked, the three squares adjacent to it in the shape of a square flip from one picture to the next. on the square in the centre of the sides, and all three squares on that side change. on the centre square flips the horizontally and vertically adjacent squares. The painting changes from the human Stauf to a Red Devil, then to a Green Demon, then back to the human Stauf.

Solution

As the layout of the parts of the painting are random at the start, there is no set solution to the problem, but try and get the parts of the paining into a symmetrical layout as this makes it easier to change them all.

In some cases, you may encounter the following situations:

• To fix the center cell without affecting others, on a corner cell twice, followed by the opposite corner twice. (You could also on the four corners instead.) Then, on the center cell.
• If you have a complete image but the wrong one, on each corner cell once, then each edge cell twice to cycle to the next image.
• If the opposite left and right cells in the middle row are mismatched, on the bottom left corner twice, then the bottom right corner once. You can rotate this pattern for the top and bottom cells.

Knives puzzle[edit]

The aim of this puzzle is to remove all the knives except for one from the door. To remove a knife, you must jump over it with another knife along the lines of the star symbol.

Solution

The layout of the star and the moves required to complete it are as follows. You start at six then do the following jumps:

6→1, 5→3, 8→5, 2→4, 1→7, 5→8, 9→7, 10→7

This puzzle was taken out of the IOS version.

Windows puzzle[edit]

The aim of this puzzle is to start from the bottom of the house and move to the top by going from window to window. The directions that you take from each window are determined when you first move from that shaped window to another, i.e. if you start at a rectangular window and move left, you can only move left from a rectangular window from then on. There are four differently shaped windows which will need to be set to the four different directions. Once a window has been set to a direction, it remains set until the end of the puzzle. Also, once a window has been set, when you land on that shaped window, the computer will automatically follow its own route using the directions you have set. The house is in three levels and you will have to pick a start window on each of the levels.

Solution

To solve the puzzle, start at the bottom and work your way up.

• Bottom floor: Start at the sixth window from the left at the bottom and set the windows as follows:
  1. The round window to up.
  2. The semi-circular window to right.
  3. The arched window to down.
  4. The rectangular window to left.
• Middle floor: On this level, start at the third window from the left.
• Top floor: Start at second window from the left.

publisher: MojoTouch

Game mode: single player

The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition is another remaster of a well-known adventure game created by the American studio Trilobyte and published back in 1993. Interestingly enough, this title was one of the first to be released on CDs. The refreshed version features better visuals and music, as well as numerous fixes in terms of controls. The remastered edition was created by MojoTouch.

Plot

The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition has not been changed from the original. The story focuses on Henry Stauf, a homeless thief and bandit who, after a mysterious vision sent to him in his dream, decides to design a collection of beautiful dolls, which brought him great wealth and allowed him to change his life. Unfortunately, it soon turned out that everything had its price - children who received one of the dolls started to suffer from an unknown disease, which nobody could cure. After this event Stauf abandoned further toy production, hid in his estate and for a very long time gave no sign of life. The player assumes the role a man suffering from amnesia, who goes to Stauf's estate and tries to solve a riddle involving him.

Mechanics

In The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition the player observes the action from the first person perspective. The gameplay resembles what players might know, for example, from the Myst series. The game focuses on exploring successive rooms (a total of several dozen different locations) and clicking on appropriate spots on the screen, as well as solving logical puzzles with different levels of difficulty (in the game, players will also find a library full of various tips). One's main task is to get to know the gloomy history prepared by the creators.

The refreshed version offers a new user interface that has been designed practically from scratch and allows, among other things, for highlighting important objects on the screen. Players also get a new map, which makes it easier to move around the property, the ability to skip any scene (so players don't have to watch them again, for example, when they play for the second or third time), a new menu for saving and loading the game, and finally a number of keyboard shortcuts.

Additionally, in The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition players will find several scenes that were deleted from the original version of the game.

Gang beasts. The creators should add a feature to where the host of your server could spawn stuff in game.

Game modes

In The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition one can only play alone. The game offers only a story campaign.

Technical aspects

The 7th Guest: 25th Anniversary Edition has distinctive visuals consisting mainly of illustrations and films that convey the entire story. The game comes in 2D, although it often tries to create an impression of 3D. The title supports higher resolutions than the original version (the illustrations are scaled accordingly) and offers a better quality soundtrack (enriched with additional elements). It is worth noting that players also have the opportunity to play in the original setting.

Upon buying the game players also receive the original version of the game, the 'Making of' material, a novel and the screenplay The 7th Guest, additional materials (The Stauf Files), and a soundtrack.
