With the counterweights in place, you can now safely cross the bridge and enter the hut on the the hill. Inside you can find that Dr. Brain's flair for strange decorations knows no bounds. Click on the screen of the computer to start the mask match puzzle
For this puzzle, you are asked to find 5 sets of 3 matching shapes. For Novice, Standard, and Expert difficulties, you must sort through various shapes, hieroglyphics, and masks respectively. Some may jump out at you, especially on Novice difficulty, but otherwise, many of the objects tend to look similar. To keep from getting lost, take a systematic approach. Start at one of the corners and go through the shapes one by one until you have either found two exact matches or have examined all the shapes.
For the Standard and Expert difficulties, to tell the shapes apart, break each one up into pieces. Look at the hair, the eyes, and the mouth individually. For instance, look at the figure at the top right of the example given and notice that its hair is wavy and yellow. If you look at this feature alone, over half of the remaining masks are eliminated. Next, notice that it has a bone through its nose ans its eyes are big and green. Go through the figures with wavy yellow hair and look for something that matches. As you go through them, you'll notice that there are no matches, so you can eliminate this mask as a possibility.
When you've correctly matched three figures, rectangles of the same color will form around them. This separates them from the rest, meaning that there will be three less figures that you have to examine. So the puzzle gets a little easier with each set you find.
If you manage to find all 5 sets of 3 figures, you will be awarded with a small gold key. Grab the key from the totem pole and use it on the bookshelf in the back of the room to open the bookshelf puzzle.
