To free the Concordian office workers trapped in a cell on the fourth floor, you must track down four clues and find out which numbers they correspond to. Here are four tips:

In total, the number of triangles evident by security cameras is six, which gives us the first digit in the puzzle: 6.

The second clue points to a row of potted plants in the hallway west of the security room on the 4th floor. Interacting with the plants marked on the clue sheet reveals two clues: “Less than 6” and “More than 4”, which is of course 5.

For the third clue, you’ll find another series of numbers pinned to the outside walkway on the 3rd floor.
