Train brakes need ten inputs with the correct sum

The brake panel is an addition puzzle, not a fixed password. Read the displayed target and enter exactly ten digits whose sum matches it. The second panel requires the same method, even when it does not display the running total clearly.
| Displayed target or rule | Ten-input method | Check |
|---|---|---|
| 36 | 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 9 | Nine 3s plus 9 = 36 |
| 67 | 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 4 | Nine 7s plus 4 = 67 |
| 81 | 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9 | Nine 8s plus 9 = 81 |
| Input rule | Exactly ten presses | Read the target on your own panel |
Light animal torches in the correct order
At the Training Facility animal statue puzzle, use Billy’s lighter in this sequence: deer, wolf, horse, tiger, snake, eagle. Clear the room first so an enemy does not interrupt the sequence. The opened gate confirms success.
| Step | Animal | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deer | Light with Billy’s lighter |
| 2 | Wolf | Light next |
| 3 | Horse | Continue the sequence |
| 4 | Tiger | Light after the horse |
| 5 | Snake | Light before the eagle |
| 6 | Eagle | Finish and check the opened gate |
Prepare the separated partners before the timer
During the train sequence, one character stays at the front while the other reaches the rear control. Give the moving character the required card and enough protection for the journey. Read the chosen target before tapping any number.
Count presses as well as the total
An arithmetically correct sum entered in the wrong number of presses fails the requirement. Use a repeatable ten-number sequence and count each input. If the displayed target differs, calculate a matching sequence instead of blindly copying an example.
