This puzzle takes place entirely in the archive room, right after Hiroshi speaks with Takuro . As he examines a wall panel, Hiroshi first reads some words written at the bottom.

Stretch them, side by side
Which one is longest? Which is small?
Then line them up alright
Small at the bottom, on top the tall

Then the puzzle opens. Five balls labeled MF, IF, RF, LF, and Th are arranged and with a small cursor, the player can push them around. The player must move the balls into the proper order to solve the puzzle.

The Solution

1. Middle finger (MF)
2. Index finger (IF)
3. Ring finger (RF)
4. Little finger/Pinky (LF)
