Egypt Key Puzzle

[jamesbuc]

Really fun demo. I just had one issue with the Egypt themed level (a translation based one?). With the puzzle where you get the key to unlock the chest, the book seems to suggest multiplication is involved when it isnt used at all. It had me quite stumped until I worked against what the clue book was telling me.

You technically don't need to use the multiplication to solve a puzzle, but to get a number you do.

For example UUIII = 2 x 10 + 3 x 1 = 23 ("U" is worth 10, and you have 2 of them, and "I" is worth 1 and you have 3 of them)

But I just added everything together and got it. No multiplication used.

Yeah you can do 10 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1. In my example above, it's just a shorthand. What ever way you get to the solution is the correct way! :)
