Sherlok Joness & Wattsoff - the case of the secret chamber

Hot from the presses.


Sherlok Joness and his dear friend Dr. Wattsoff arrive in Port Said. After a long and hot journey on the back of a ship of the desert they finally enter the sacred temple of Toututcanon. Sherlok Joness had been invited by the upcoming archeologist Coward Harter, who had heard of Joness' cunning.

In the middle of the chamber they see a grand pedestal. The walls are covered with hieroglyphics. On the pedestal there is a statue of Osiris, god of the dead. Next to him is a statue of his wife Isis and his sister.

Harter tells them that he could make out from the hieroglyphics that a secret passage would open if they replaced one of the statues with a bag. "A bag?" Wattsoff asks. "Yes, probably one of those," and Harter points to a niche which has four bags in it. But which one should we take?
The one with the toes, the eyes, the ears, or the feet? We know from the hieroglyphics that we should not remove the statue of Osiris's sister.

On the pedestal just below the statues there's a circle with numbers.

"Wattsoff, do you know which bag to pick and which statue to remove?" smiled Joness, "I do". So not long thereafter the secret door to the Tomb of Toetutcanon opened.

Do you know?

This probably indicated the feet, since you cannot walk with no feet
