Hint #1 - Have you noticed random little locks dotted around the pages as you've been going through the book? Maybe you thought they were Red Herrings at first?

Hint #2 - The numbers relate to page numbers

Hint #3 - Colour in the number if there's a lock on that page.

Solution - KDP

Hint #1 - Each symbol relates to a particular Sector

Hint #2 - Sector 2 is the T shape, Sector 3 is the fuse box, Sector 4 is the pill, Sector 1 is the laser.

Hint #3 - Complete the maze with a pencil and the order you come across the shapes is the order you need to enter them in the box.

Solution - 6263

Hint #1 - At the end of the introduction we see xxxx, with an arrow pointing to the 3rd x

Hint #2 - If we match up where that text is to the ship itself we should be able to see what series of letters/numbers its referring to.

Solution - 2

The airlock, but it needs a code and there's nothing immediately obvious I can do to get it!

Hint #1 - Wait, that window looks a bit suspicious. A 4x4 grid? Just like a PAT code...

Hint #2 - Perhaps each star indicates a filled in square? But that's not a valid PAT code. Unless I rotate clockwise by 90 degrees...

Hint #3 - PAT code is HVJ

Hint #4 - Of course PAT can't just GIVE us the answer. He gives us coordinates. And these don't match up with the asteroid coordinates. Maybe they're ship coordinates?

Hint #5 - One of the previous clues gave me ship coordinates and I used these to predict where the ship would be and at what time. Perhaps if I do that again, or look over my workings, the answer is there?

Hint #6 - Aha, 14:30. But the answer needs to be MMHH, so that must mean...

Solution: 3014

Ok, so now we need to find an airlock to find the number on the side of the ship! But which airlock do we use?

Hint #1 - Well, first of all, where is the number? The page with hints about the numbers at the end of the introduction should give me a hint here!

Hint #2 - Ok, this sector map for sector 1 looks a little different to the others. There's loads of letters, and lots of -E, -F. What's the minus for? The pattern seems to go AA, AB, AC, -D, -E.

Hint #3 - Aha, so it's just a short hand notation. So in the example above AA, AB, AC, -D, -E is actually AA, AB, AC, AD, AE and so on.

Hint #4 - I need to orientate myself. So the clue about the number was at the end of the introduction. The number appears to be in Sector #4 along the side of the ship. What airlock is closest to that?

Hint #5 - Ok, I think the letters are "BS" but what are the numbers? Is it 4? Technically the airlock spans 4 in to the next map. Checking sector 4 map, it does indeed start at "5".

Solution - BS

This looks way more complicated than it is! On which of these 8 paths would the ship hit an asteroid fragment?

Hint #1 - We know from previous clues around the ship trajectory, that this it is travelling at a constant speed, and that speed is 20,000mph. For ease in these clues, we'll say 20mph.

Hint #2 - Based on the clue from Puzzle #35 we know how fast each of the three asteroids are travelling. We should be able to figure out which paths intersect with this information/

Hint #3 - So the bottom two asteroids are travelling 10mph. That means for every dot they cover, our ship will have covered 2 dots. The top asteroid is travelling 20mph. So the dots should be equal. 

Solution: 3,6,7

We're going to blast that asteroid with a laser! But despite this being a super high tech ship, we're still going to have to do the calculations ourselves! Where will the asteroid be when the laser is chargeD?

Hint #1 - You can see how fast the laser is charging based on the last few pages. There's a clock on each page, and the bars represent how far from charged it is. You should be able to judge how long it'll take to be fully charged.

Hint #2 - You also know where the asteroid will be at certain times based on the ticker on the previous page. When the laser is charged, where will it be?

Solution - (256.927, 62.095)

I've got to figure out what time the Asteroid will hit the ship! That'll tell me how long I've got to find a solution to the problem.

Hint #1 - The clue from yesterday shows me the ships trajectory for 4:30 to 5:45, the page today shows me the trajectory for the asteroid. I need to find when the two are the same

Hint #2 - Yesterday's clue only goes up to 5:45 but that's enough for me to figure out how far I'm going every 15 minutes. So every fifteen minutes I'm going (+0.010, -0.020). Using this I should be able to plot out where I'm at for every fifteen minutes. Excel is handy here!

Hint #3 - What time are the coordinates I've created the same as the ones plotted for the asteroid?

Solution - 07:15

Hint #1 - Scanning the QR code takes you to Google Sky, which I'd never used before this point. It's a little overwhelming at first! Just be aware you can zoom in and zoom out. You are looking for a view that matches what you have in the book, with ONE of the stars missing. That missing star is your asteroid.

Hint #2 - It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. You need to zoom in SOME of the way, but not to the max. I've attached a screenshot to this post of the area you need. 

Hint #3 - Which is an asteroid, not a know star?

Solution - M490

Hint #1 - By now (unless you jumped to Sector #1 first!) you should be used to hunting for PAT codes. Is there anything that looks vaguely like one? But it doesn't work! How about turning the book 90 degrees clockwise?

Hint #2 - KHP is the PAT code. And PAT has given us three references to use. How can we combine these?

Hint #3 - Hopefully you've been able to find the four references. Get out a ruler and draw a line between the furthest points so they cross in the middle. So M485 to M584, and M395 to MO24. Where these cross is the sector we want.

Solution - LAT60LONG240
