7 pushes? Hrm. Yeah, the hint book does look like it has the number 7 next to the button with the arrow. I think that's supposed to be a 1 though, not a 7; it has to be a 1, anyway, as there's no reason to push it 7 times in a row. ;o)
So, you can move the arrow. And there are, of course, twelve different positions for the green arrow to be facing, kind of like the hour hand of a clock. So you're saying that you've tried to push the top button at all twelve spots and still nothing happens?
Using the picture above as an example, the top button will only work if the green arrow is pointing to seven o'clock because that would be the only way to get the oil can back to the center. (Perhaps it's not obvious, but the lights correspond to the location of your oil canister.)
PS. I'm also not getting a listing of "replies to your posts" at the sign-in status listing.
Noted. Thanks. I'll look into it. =o)
