For the Alan Wake 2 car and bike stash, you need to solve another number puzzle to reveal the stash’s three-digit padlock code. You’ll know roughly what to expect if you solved the previous battery amp puzzle inAlan Wake 2, though this cult stash tasks you with figuring out the code based on the number cars in a factory filled with 200 cars and bicycles and 754 wheels between them. Why the Cult of the Tree uses these algebra puzzles for their supply stashes remains a mystery, but I’ve run the numbers for this puzzle and have the answer to the Alan Wake 2 car and bike stash below.
The code you need to open the Alan Wake 2 car and bike stash is 1 7 7as there are 177 cars in the factory. From this stash, I got shotgun shells, a flare, and a propane tank, all of which are useful things to have going into the Valhalla Nursing Home area, as there are quite a lot of deadly threats to face there. Since you won’t find any more of theseAlan Wake 2 stashesuntil after the nursing home area, this is a good opportunity to get some supplies for what’s ahead.
Just like theAlan Wake 2 battery stash puzzle, figuring out the number of cars in this factory requires a bit of algebra. In short, if all 200 vehicles in the factory were cars, there would be 800 wheels. 800 – 754 = 46, which is the wheel difference created by some of the vehicles being bicycles and not cars. Divide 46 wheels by 2 to get 23 bicycles. Finally, 200 – 23 = 177, which is the number of cars. Here’s the full proof of how I got the answer of 177:
Yes, I know it’s a lot if you have zero maths ability but you’ll have to complete al of these if you want to get theAlan Wake 2 Lighthouse Keywhich is the reward for opening all the stashes.
