The castle of Dr. Brain is not just an adventure game. It's rather a set of
puzzles meant to test your brain. 

In this guide, I'll tell you how to solve most puzzles.
All puzzles come in three difficulties, easy, medium and hard. I'll try to
cover all difficulties, but that is not always possible.
All puzzles that can be done step by step will be taken as such.

What I need to note is that using this FAQ is no fun. I advise you only to use
it if you are desperately stuck in the game.

I need to note that Dr. Brain is coded for DOS, and such modern machines will
not fully support it. Best is to use an emulator to run it.

I strongly recommend DosBox, which can be downloaded from http://www.dosbox.com
I used version 0.73 (for MacOS X) when writing this FAQ.


+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Front Door                                                      | IDX01 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is a puzzle to test your memory.

First thing to do is to ring the bell.
Now one of the rocks will light. Click it, and now two rocks will light, click
them in the same order. And this will go into a few more steps. If you got them
all the door will open.

When you play in medium version, the two lamps could also be taken in the 
combination to memorize. In the hard version the flamengo's could also be used.



The next three puzzles can be done to earn the code word for the copy 
protection. On the protection itself I cannot help you, but I can help you earn
the words you need for them.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Left door Math puzzle                                               | IDX02 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Make the next combos:

Easy mode:
11+22=33
42x02=84
90-80=10
60:20=03

Medium and Hard mode will be there in my next update

After you solved the puzzle you receive a code word you need for the 
copyprotection

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Drawer Puzzle                                                       | IDX03 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You know the trade. Move the times to get all numbers in order. The higer you
set the difficulty the more tiles you get to move.

| Right door Math puzzle                                              | IDX04 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Easy mode:
2 - 7 - 6
9 - 5 - 1
4 - 3 - 8

Medium and hard mode may be covered later

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The middle door                                                     | IDX05 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This door is the copy protection. I cannot give you more help than the game
already provides. Don't ask me how to get past this as your mail will not be
answered.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The puzzle of sound                                                 | IDX06 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This is the only puzzle that truely got me. You have to get the room quiet.
Using the four buttons can help you on that. Don't be afraid by the timer.
If you got a working solution mail me, and I'll add it here (and credit you
for your trouble. Please give me the name under which I must credit you).

After the room is quiet, open the drawer.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The hourglasses                                                     | IDX07 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Easy mode:
Both hourglasses start at the same time.
As soon as the one with snake stops, turn the other hourglass.
As soon as that one stops, click open

Medium & hard mode:
This is harder. You must now count yourself to time it right.



+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Time lock                                                           | IDX08 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can open the clock.

Easy mode:
You need to find the pattern in the card, take that over and voila.
The only reason why I cannot be sure this is all right is because I'm not sure
this changes, but here are the times I got. If they change, lemme know and I'll
cover it in the FAQ
4:48
11:00
1:45

Medium Mode:
Same times as easy mode

Hard Mode:
Same as easy mode


+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Elevator 1                                                          | IDX09 |

In these elevators difficulties do not matter.
Just let's go

In the next hall are two puzzles that contain a clue for the puzzle in the 
middle.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Right door Computer Puzzle #1                                       | IDX0A |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
All modes:
= Place battery between the two connections lower left
= Place the switch vertically between the two conections upper left
= Place the reistor between the upper to connections
= Place the coil between the two connections below that
= Place the capacitor in the lower right connections



+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Right door Computer Puzzle #2                                       | IDX0B |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
All modes:
This is about binary. Being a programmer myself I know the drill, but if you
are not into that you might not understand this puzzle. Don't worry, binary is
not that hard to understand.

Binary is a way of counting in which only 1 and 0 exists.
So it works like this
00000000 = 0
00000001 = 1
00000010 = 2
00000011 = 3
00000100 = 4
00000101 = 5
00000110 = 6
00000111 = 7
00001000 = 8 
00001001 = 9
00001010 = 10
And so on....
If you have trouble with this, I'm not sure about Windows, but the calculator
application that comes with MacOS X is able to convert decimal numbers into
binary.

Now just find the binary numbers of the decimal numbers and you solved this
puzzle.


When you solved puzzle #1 and #2 you can solve the left door puzzle.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Robot Maze                                                          | IDX0C |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The drill works like this:
The robot mindlessly goes back and forth.
The places marked with 4 dots can be clicked on to place a turning plate.
Clicking it again will remove it.
Having the robots go into the circles will destroy it making you to have to
start over.
The green things are switches that turn circles on and off
Collecting all "A"'s is your object.

Let's go.

= place a turning plate on the spot right in front of the robot and remove
  it once the robot has turned
= place a turner on the spot on the right, get the a and remove it when the 
  robot is gone there again.
  
= Place a turner left and when the robot goes up remove it
= Place a turner on the lower spot and remove it once the robot has gone there
  after picking up the A with the robot going up again
  
Now be quick.

= Place the turner on the upper spot when the robot is above it
= Place one on the spot left of it
= Remove it immediately when the robot moved over it
= Place a turner on the spot above it
= Remove it after the robot turns
= place  it there again when the robot is left of it
= Remove when the robot goes down over the switch
= Place a turner in the most upper spot before the robot gets there

= Place a turner on the spot to the right of this one and the one below that
= Place a turner left of the A as soon as the robot reaches that A
= After the robot has turned remove it

Ah... Now we can have a little break.

= Place a turner on the lower spot to activate the switch and remove it when
  the robot goes back up
= Now place a turner on the two spots left of the road you are now on, and 
  lastly a turner on the spot above the robot
  
= While the robot is on the way a turner in the most left spot, the spot below
  that. Remove them both when  the robot goes back up
  
= After the robot has passed it, place a turner on the spot second from below

= After the robot moved over the switch place a turner on the turner bottom 
  right, and the one left of that one.
  
That should solve the puzzle (I hope I made no mistakes, as this puzzle was
hard to cover in a FAQ).

| Robot programming                                                   | IDX0E |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now we get into actual programming. Don't worry no C++ knowledge required.

First the basics.

There are three hands, each can only be used to receive on kind of treasure of
which there are three in the maze.

There are also three robot heads. They can each be used to program and to
follow your programming, however only the lower head, follows your programming
precisely. The upper right one always does the opposite of what you want, and
the upper left one will follow an order precisely and next do the exact 
opposite.

In the easy mode you can just put on the lower robot on the torso for all
programs, in the medium mode you can only use a head twice (after that it 
breaks), in the hard mode only once.

Below I'll give the programming for all three heads

In this diagram of letters names of sports and games are hidden (also the names
of the game makers, but that's just a joke, and leads to nothing).

(Also note, that this is an American game. All words in this diagram are spelled
with the US English spelling).

I cannot cover a puzzle like this in a FAQ, but it's not that hard.
In the easy mode there are even lines that already tells you the right solution.
So if you get stuck in the easy mode you won't.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
I cannot cover this is a FAQ (nobody can), you can click on the chest for
a jigsaw piece at random, you can hear by the sound the game makes if the piece
has been placed correctly. If you want to see how the room must gonna look like
click with the eye icon on it, and you'll see a picture that shows the room
as it has to look like when you are finished.

Good luck.

First of all you need to play hangman. Clicking the hanging man gives you a
word to guess. The words are in random order, but I can give you the words 
I got...
Resistance
Magazine
Password
Editorial
Entrance
(All words in US spelling)

With every good word you'll get a combination from the dummy. Use them to open
the cabinet

Behind the portrait of Dr. Brain is a game of Master Mind.
As far as I know that's optional.

The last part is a letter swap puzzle. When you swap A with E all As will be Es
and vice versa.

The solutions:
Easy: YOUR MIND IS THE KEY TO EVERY DOOR, SET YOUR MIND FREE AND NO LOCK CAN
      HOLD YOU, AND NO BARS CAN RESTRAIN YOU.
Medium: FREE FROM EVERY EARTHEN TIDE, PAST STARS AND PLAETS YOU MUST RIDE,
        UNTIL YOU REACH THE FARTHER SIDE
Hard: THE ELEVATORS OF THE MIND ONLY OPERATE FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THEIR MINDS
      OPEN TO NEW POSSIBILITIES

Well this is the final elevator. (Thank goodness. Not that these elevators
are hard, but they are pain to cover in a FAQ).

Click the sky and the computer will ask you to find some zodiacs.

Persuis is the first one.
It's impossible to draw this out in a FAQ since I cannot do graphics in a
plain text file. All I can say it that Persuis is located pretty much to the 
left of the screen.

The second is Ursa Major
It's located next to Persuis.

The third is cancer.
That one I can draw

It's located to the buttom right

The last one is Orion, the hardest one, but it's located to the most right.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
What I cannot cover is the location of the cards, as it's different every 
playthrough.

What I can try to cover is the matches.
This is just a game of memory, and you have to point the right alien to the
right planet card.

Here'll I'll try to cover them (as well as I can describe them)

Amphiton (Strange amphibian) - Oceania (Water, water and water) 
Maston (Fat creature with spear) - Graviton 
Gira (Reptile with long neck) - Magma 4 (Volcanic world) 
Geoids (Stone creature) - Veldta (Long trees)
Stiger (Tiger like creature) - Stroud (World with striped houses)
Mechroid (Robot) - Metallica (Metal world) 
Moleri (Moles with long snout) - Hollucidar (Red rock on background)
Winged Icarion (Creature with wings) - Aerious (Sky, sky and sky)


A door will open (not that it looks like a door). 
Before you may enter you must first name the planet right.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Our solar system                                                    | IDX0N |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In case you don't know the order of our planets
= Mercury
= Venus
= Earth
= Mars
= Saturn
= Jupiter
= Uranus
= Neptune
= Pluto
Name the planets right and you solved the puzzle.

Before contacting me, please read carefully.

If you want me to answer questions about the game itself please visit this
site:

      http://www.tbbs.nl/QuestionGen.php4

That is my Q&A site where I (or others) will answer all your game questions.
If you do, please check if the question you want to ask hasn't been asked 
before. :)

If you want to inquire about me as a person, or when you have anything to 
say about the FAQ itself, like asking permission to host, got suggestions
for this FAQ, something like that please mail it to

       tric1975@hotmail.com

       AND PUT [Tric-FAQ] IN THE SUBJECT OR ELSE MY SPAMFILTER MAY
       REJECT YOU!

If you see that I missed things in this FAQ, then in stead of calling me
names, you may tip me about that part, or if you want even come up with 
a complete workout of that part, that I will copy into this FAQ (I may alter
your lay-out to make it fit with the rest) and even credit you for your
trouble. This also goes for alternate boss techniques.

AND NEVER FORGET TO TELL ME WHICH FAQ OF MINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
I get a lot of mails in which I must guess which FAQ it is we're talking 
about, and since I'm very busy as a contributor for GameFAQs, and ocasionally
other sites, I have quite a lot of FAQs here. So it will help me a lot when
I know which FAQ/Game it is you're talking about. :)

And one last thing. Below are remarks I got a lot about my FAQs. Some are
funny, and some are just plainly too stupid for words. I don't want to be
an arrogant bastard or anything, but some of them tire me a lot.

So here are those mails with my standard replies:

  M: Fix your English
  A: Some people say they hardly hear the diffrence between me and an
     English speaking fellow. Others say it sucks. Well, I honestly don't
     care in which category you are. English is NOT my first language. If 
     I spoke my own language you probably couldn't read my FAQs at all.

  M: HEY IDIOT! FIX YOUR FAQ!
  A: Anyone who sends mail like this won't receive a reply. In fact they
     will be banned from ever mailing me again. I can understand you do not
     agree with my technique. There are as many as there are people. I can
     also agree you detected that I made a mistake. Well, I'm human you know.
     Making mistakes is part of my nature, as much as it's yours. If you 
     detect errors in my FAQ you can tell me about it in a civil way, and 
     I'll fix it if I agree with you.

  M: Are you a man? A woman? How old are you? Where do you live?
  A: I really got that kind of mails a lot. I don't mind that you know.
     I was quite amused by such mails actually.
     Well, my name is Jeroen Broks. I'm not going to give my private adres
     in this FAQ or anywhere else on the internet, but you may know that
     I live in the Netherlands, I am a man, and I was born in 1975. So on
     the moment I started on this version of this FAQ I was 33 years old.

  M: Fsdasdadasf afsdfasd afdfsaf
  A: Whatever you say I don't understand it. If you mail me, please only do
     so in either English or Dutch or if you really need in German. 
     (Be perpared that if you speak German to me, you might get an answer in
     English, tough).
     I don't speak any other language.

  M: May I translate your FAQ into another language?
  A: If you ask my permission, mostly no problem

  M: Why is Neoseeker banned from hosting your FAQs?
  A: That's something between me and Neoseeker. I don't find it necesary to
     go into detail about that. I noted it in my FAQs to make sure they     
     will never pop up there unnoticed. So don't mail me about it
     cause I won't answer. I got very good reasons for it. That's all you
     need to know.

And so far this FAQ. I hope you have good use for it!
