The aim of this puzzle is to move the white pieces to occupy the squares where the black pieces are, and vice versa. The bishops can only move diagonally and cannot move onto squares where they can be taken by the opposing colour. This also means that the bishops on different coloured squares cannot affect each other.

Your goal is to close all the coffin lids. There is a simple pattern to the way the lids open and close:
Your goal is to close all the coffin lids. There is a simple pattern to the way the lids open and close:
# 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.
# 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.
Line 100: Line 105:


;Solution
;Solution
As the layout of the coffin lids is random at the start, there is no set solution to the problem. Try to get the lids into a symmetrical layout, as this makes it easier to close them all.  
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:
{|{{prettytable|text center=1}}
! To close coffin
| 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9
|-
! Click on coffins
| 1,2,3,4,5,7 || 2,4,6,7,9 || 1,2,3,5,6,9 || 2,3,4,8,9 || 2,4,5,6,8 || 1,2,6,7,8 || 1,4,5,7,8,9 || 1,3,4,6,8 || 3,5,6,7,8,9
|}
Note that each list of coffins can be clicked in any order.


One strategy is to simply keep closing the corner coffins every time you see one open, until ''only'' the four corners are closed - leaving you with an open cross-shape through the center. Once you have arranged the coffins into this layout, you just need to click the center coffin closed and the puzzle is solved.
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.


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.
