The "3 green cicadas" achievement is apparently bugged, for me it appeared before I even met the cicada guy. There are 5 total cicadas in the train, 3 green ones and 2 brown ones. The guy will accept any 3 cicadas but only 3 green ones were intended to trigger an achievement.

As for the sounds, you don't really need to go through all 5 carts. Just scout the first 3 and you can easily guess the 2 remaining ones. Even if you guess wrong at first, just name them in reverse order and it will be correct. It's a lot quicker this way.

[Filian.Fricker]

with the day 3 and hearing the sounds, its based off of the car's, click start over and run to the first car and remember the sound, proceed to the 2nd and just tell the lady as you go along, 1-5 cars for 1-5 options
