Lighthouse Peril

The Story

A munitions ship approaches the harbour. Its radio is out and it's on course to crash into the shore. No Coast Guard ships are close enough to help. You have 30 minutes to activate the old lighthouse and warn the ship off the rocks before it explodes and obliterates half the town. Unfortunately, the old lighthouse was wired by Ida Belle Huntington, a former World War II code breaker. To activate the light, you need to flip the correct circuit breakers in the correct order. Ida was the lighthouse keeper here for many years, until she recently fell ill and died. Hopefully if you search through her things, you will find the clues she left behind.
