Quick solution:
---------------
These steps will allow Myst to be completed in thirty minutes, without 
iewing the entire game. 

* Turn on all markers (marker switches to up positions and symbols to green).
  At the clock tower, rotate the small wheel twice and the large wheel eight 
  to set the clock to 2:40. Cross the bridge and turn on the switch. 
* Return to the dock and turn off the marker switch (down position). 
  Get the white page. 
* In the Library, look at the far right book on the middle shelf for the 
  pattern for page 158.

Rush Limbaugh Understands audio:
--------------------------------
Use Windows Explorer and open the "channelwood" folder on the CD-ROM. Find 
the "holoamth" file. Play it backwards with Quicktime, starting at the end. 
You will now understand what the man is saying when he's talking in the 
Channelwood language. The message is "Rush Limbaugh Understands". 


Mosaic:
-------
If you have completed the game, you will have been to D'ni, the place that 
you arrive in after you have used the green book in the library's fireplace.
You will also notice that the floor is a mosaic, forming a picture of a man's
face. That man is not Atrus, Sirrus, Achenar, or any other game character. 
The face belongs to Chuck Carter, who created a lot of the graphics for the 
game.


Easter Egg:
-----------
If you play the file x:\QTW\Channel\holoamth.mov you will see a clip of Achenar
muttering gibberish in Channelwood. If the movie is played backwards, Achenar 
actually says something like "Rush Limbaugh understands."


Library Walls:
--------------
Access to the places of protection starts by examining everything on the 
library walls.


The Map:
--------
Access to the places of protection starts by understanding the function of 
the map in the library.


Access Keys:
------------
* Turn on the marker switches on Myst Island to activate locations on the map
  in the library. 
* Rotate the Tower to locations that turn the line red by clicking and holding 
  the flashing icon on the map. 
* Go to the Tower to find the access keys.


Getting to the Mechanical Age:
------------------------------
To reach the Mechanical Age, go to the southern edge of Myst. There should be 
a building in the water with a large clock on it and two wheels you can reach.
The two wheels represent the hands on the clock, the large one controls the 
large hand and the small one controls the small hand. Click the small one twice
and the large one eight times so that the clock says 2:40. Gears will come up 
from the water and allow you to access the building. Once inside, there will 
be three levers and a machine that says 3,3,3. The lever on the left turns the
top two gears and the one on the right controls the bottom two gears. 

Pull the levers until the machine says 2,2,1. If you pull the lever and nothing
happens, pull the one on the far right to reset the machine. Once it says 2,2,1,
the large gear on the northeastern part of the island should open up. 
Look inside it to find a linking book that will teleport you to the Mechanical 
Age.



How to Solve Sound Puzzle:
--------------------------
Written by Kuro

-=Solve Sound Puzzle Easy=-
Here is an easy method, as instead of matching sounds, you match keys to solve the puzzle. 
At bottom I have an even easier method, but for those that don't want that route here is 
what you do. Starting with number 1 in image below count all white keys and black keys 
leading up to number 1.

Doing the above with counting all white and black keys starting from left side you will 
see leading up to 1 you have 8 keys.

Number 2 has 20 keys.
Number 3 has 23 keys.
Number 4 has 13.
Number 5 has 6.

Going off the above you now want to move slider to match the number of keys corresponding 
to each number. Left side starts with number 1 and ends at number 5 on right.


Note: While slider is at bottom as shown, before being touched, it starts at default number 
1, so left slider you want to move it to number 8, in which case you move it up 7 times to 
match that number.

Repeat same for last 4 keys and once complete move lever on right. If done correctly linking 
book will now show.


-=Randomized Playthrough=-
If playing on randomized keep in mind the number of keys will be different than my picture and 
solutions of course will change as number of keys will be different, but it keeps same method 
of counting the keys in order of the numbers as I showed you. Picture for solution can be found 
in the ship age book located in library.

-=Super Easy Method=-
A really easy method is to go to settings and turn on contextual subtitles, which gives 
practically gives answer as you interact with piano and slider. You just have to match 
symbols shown. Make sure to take screenshots to save time and check above in guide to know 
order to go in.
