How can I access the cellar in the Fruit and Veg Shop?

If you're very clever, you might try to use the Veg Key on its lock in another time's cellar. Smart, but that won't work. You have to open this time's cellar.

--

You've solved puzzles in other variations of the Food Shop before.

--

You probably need to have the JUICER display a specific number. Look around for a hint to the readout you should be trying for.

--

See the BLACKBOARD near the door?

--

The pitcher in the juicer should weigh 0.1 units.

--

Have you noticed how much the juice of one apple or one orange weighs?

--

An APPLE gives you 0.2 units of juice, and an ORANGE 0.3 units of juice.

--

Have you noticed how much the pitchers can hold?

--

Take the pitcher in your inventory and tap it for a closer look. A pitcher can hold 1.0 unit.

--

Try to think of a way to end up with 0.1 in the pitcher that's in the juicer.

--

You will need to use the pitcher on the counter too.

--

Here's one way to do it.

(SOLUTION FOLLOWS)

--

Squeeze three oranges to fill up the pitcher to 0.9.

--

Remove the juicer pitcher and pour its contents into the pitcher on the counter.

--

Resist the temptation to drink the juice.

--

Replace the empty pitcher in the juicer, and squeeze an apple.

--

Remove the pitcher again, and pour its contents into the pitcher on the counter once again.

--

The pitcher on the counter can only hold another 0.1, though, so the rest (also 0.1) remains in the pitcher you're holding.

--

Replace your pitcher in the juicer. Watch as the entrance to the cellar is revealed.
