Go out and down-stairs

Use the key to unlock the front door.  Enter.

Pick up a clock part (7/10) from the jacket

Take the cloth for cleaning from the chest at the foot-end of the bed.

Talk to Ann on the bench

She will tell you to get a message from the radio.
Go back inside, back to bed.  It will now be light again.


Zoom in on the radio.
Tune it by turning the knob clock-wise.
You will get to a station where you will hear some morse code (hint: Turn on the sound if you do not hear it).

Too difficult and too fast?
OK.  Lets go outside
Fill the empty bucket with water
Enter the outhouse

Use the bucket with water on the toilet
Use the cleaning cloth on the toilet
Now that all is clean, take the toilet paper.

Go back to the bedroom.

Ah! The code will be written on the paper.
You need Annie to help you with the code, so climb in and out of bed (must still be dark when you climb out)
Go outside to the bench to Annie.

Give the note to Annie.
Annie will give you the code to the padlock: 3867. (You might get another code)
She will also tell you that you need to fix the clock.

Climb back in bed so that it can be light again.

Take the clock wind from the lower left cupboard.
Take a clock part (9/10) from the top of the cupboard.

Zoom in on the clock:

Insert all the clock parts from the right into the clock.
The cog gears all goes into the lower part, and the 2 clock hands at the top.
There is only 1 correct spot for each part, so keep trying until it accepts the part at the right spot.

Zoom out.
Use the screwdriver on the clock
Use the bolts on the clock
Use the clock wind on the clock.

You will see the message "the time is running now"

Go to bed and stand up while it is still dark
