Jan's Room 5

For such a seemingly basic room Jan's Room 5 is really rather tricky to escape, but I'm sure a gamer of your caliber will make short work of it, and the only problem you will have is fitting your enormous puzzle brain through the doorway on your way out [subbed by subzero].

Okay, stuck.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

Got note and screwdriver. Found the hidden panel to the right of the huge cylinder and turned on the red light. Apparently I'm supposed to know the combination for the keypad on the huge cylinder by now, but I don't. I'm sure it has something to do with the pictures of the seasons, but I've put the seasons and their corresponding numbers in every order I can think of to no avail!

just order them as they occur in the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter)

stuck on second room.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

tried every permutation of stand with shapes, and no luck with turning the switches. tried doing each column from top to bottom, tried using the arrows as a clue and doing only the outside shapes, and tried doing it in rows, but all to no avail.

room 2 shape stand:

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

it's asking for how many pure rows of shapes. only the star and the circle have pure rows - triangle and square have other shapes in them. so there are two circle rows and one star. turn the knobs accordingly.

the final clue was hard.

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)

the frame around the entire game, it looks like it is bolted down. the bolts are circles.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

use the numbers and arrows behind the last door to reveal the combination numbers behind the bolts by clicking and holding.

I don't mind being stuck in an escape game and admitting when the logic was there and was fair and I just failed to see it - but here some of the leaps of logic were just too big for my taste. also, at times there were misleading "clues" - something I never considered fair.

I managed to beat two puzzles by - I dunno how... Suddenly they were just solved... Strange.

(Had to find out this one's still way better than the first installment of the "Jan's room" series... Seems like dude used that one to cram all the typical mistakes for a room escape within one game... Pixel hunting, illogical hints, illogical gameplay... you name it.)
