You've spun the dials, but did you notice there are four of them...seen any four digit numbers in your searches? Look for them, perhaps. There is a logic (kind of) to this puzzle. It's a "Douglas Adams" kind of logic, but it works.

First of all, welcome to the Forum! We generally shoot first and ask questions later. (Okay, so I'm kidding.)

As for Brackley Hall, I haven't finished it, either. However, I do know that you don't need to try every combination on the dials until you either go insane or have a spurt of good luck. Pechmial is correct: The solution is somewhere in the house, although I haven't figured it out yet.
