Clock Puzzle Solution in Death on the Nile

You are looking at a clock face with two independent rotating rings that contain fragments of Roman numerals. Your goal is to rotate both rings so the numerals are complete and correctly positioned.

Here’s how to solve the Clock Puzzle in Death of the Nile:

1. Inspect the glass-covered clock in Blondin’s office to enter the puzzle view.
2. Note the two rings: an inner and an outer ring with Roman numeral pieces. Both can rotate.
3. Check the loose clock hands mounted on the base. They mirror the active hands on the face and act as your clue.
4. Identify the “pierced” hand on the clock face. This is your reference pointer.
5. Rotate the rings so the Roman numeral III sits directly in front of the pierced hand.
6. The picture above shows exactly how you should position the two rings.
