Rock Me Mama Solution

This puzzle is looking for an answer typed in the text box, which is acquired from using the wheels.

There are four main things you need to recognize about the wheels:

  • They are oriented incorrectly and should be lined up so the colors match

  • Each wheel has a set of dots on it to denote order

  • The spokes use color mixing where:

    • A blue spoke is blue

    • A red spoke is red

    • A yellow spoke is yellow

    • A green spoke is yellow and blue

    • A purple spoke is blue and red

    • A orange spoke is yellow and red

    • A black spoke is no color

    • A white spoke is all (but none here are all)

  • On each wheel there are two red, two yellow and two blue spokes, each of which is semaphore (ordered RYB RoYgBiv)

Going in order by wheel, we get:

Wheel 1:

  • Red semaphore: I

  • Yellow semaphore: N

  • Blue semaphore: S

Wheel 2:

  • Red semaphore: I

  • Yellow semaphore: D

  • Blue semaphore: E

Wheel 3:

  • Red semaphore: C

  • Yellow semaphore: O

  • Blue semaphore: V

Wheel 4:

  • Red semaphore: E

  • Yellow semaphore: R

Giving you INSIDECOVER

If you type INSIDECOVER into the text box, you get plot. Once finished, you'll enter HELPINGHAND into spiderdog

Solution

In game answer: INSIDECOVER

Spiderdog answer: HELPINGHAND

Hinting

  • Biggest thing was color mixing with black being none. Try starting with wheel #4 (which has no mixing), and think about how you could do something similar with the other wheels.
  • Semaphore, maybe hinted at by talking about the angle of the spokes
