> > I've done searches and have read every post I can find. I've tried everything and every combination I can think of, but cannot get more than seeing an outline and hearing something way down below. I have read that not all three drawers should be open and have found that the right drawer does nothing. I lose the outline if I don't have both the middle and left drawer open. So I assume those two must be open, even though I have tried turning the crown left and right with one of the two closed then with the other of the two closed. Nothing. I don't know how to "re-set" the crown back to starting position as I have lost count of how many turns I've made with it. I have been trying for at least two hours and have a terrible headache. Am about to give up and figure I'm just too stupid to solve this puzzle.

> This puzzle is tricky. Have you tried looking under the desk? Look for a trap door. Work the drawers and the crown. Two drawers must be closed and one drawer must be open. The trick is to open the trap door under the desk. Work the drawers and the crown. Everyone has had problems with this puzzle. It's "Tricky".
