Lucy the Bearded Beauty - Crystal Ball Puzzle

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the proper reels at the bottom. I've matched the positions of the tiles on the left to how they appear in the circle, but don't know what to do next! Does the red lever at the bottom of the tiles actually do something?

Once all the tiles are matched, pull the red lever to unlock the 2 remaining wheels.

Good luck!

I got the two matching pictures lined up correctly, and there weren't bars on the slots that I remember, but I still couldn't get the last 2 discs to go in. Maybe I was doing something wrong? I hate to have to start over, but at least I haven't gone too far...

Match each pix's orientation in the column on the far left w/its counterpart in the main body of the puzzle. If it is upside down in the main section, click on the pix until it is also upside down. When all are aligned correctly, click on the red lever at the bottom to unlock the other 2 reels. Then put the last 2 reels in order.

Good luck!

OK y'all. I had to start all over again because I had trouble with the airplanes. So now I have to find a "french curve". I've never heard of that before. What's it look like? I know it's on the right upper side of the screen, but since I have no idea what it looks like it's rather had to find.

It's a curved drawing template used for tracing. If you google it, I'm sure you'll find a picture.

Woo hoo! I got through all the movie reels! Now on to the Mermaid.

[quote[code:210f2][code][/code][/code:210f2]="BeachChick894"]HELP!!! I can not figure out the airplane one, its driving me insane! It looks right to me, yet I can't figure it out. HELP please!!

If you can't figure it out from the forum tips, Google Madame Fate Walkthroughs Sally for a video.

The French Curve is brown. That is all I will give you. tiskaye

Thanks for the help on the bearded lady...those movie rels were really giving me a hard time. I had to skip thru if I wanted to get past it and not lose any more time or hints. But I will be going back to it because I have to do the puzzle all over again!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes the plane is flying backwards. thats how i figured it out. and i always start at the bottom. hope this helps!

Check out this site for pictures of placement of flies and combs -

You can see pictures of French Curves at

Oops! Since I was edited, no sites show. Try Googling for Mme. Fate walkthroughs and "french curves",

ARGH! If you are having a problem with those LAST two reels, you need to look at more than the bottom row to find matching pictures. You need to look on the actual playing field and find pictures there as well that match. THEN for all the pictures, playing field and bottom row, turn their matching ones on the left to face in the same direction...

the letters are on the pictures under the teeter totter. Just put them in order

curlietop, I'm sure you've already solved this one but just in case, he flips backwards. start with him standing straight up, then bending knees, then feet just off floor ... etc.
