Late Check-Out: The Shutting-Upthe key

Hour Three: the still

Nudge. Read the method one sentence at a time. Each sentence says what must come before or after something else.

Harder

Herbs and wine go in before all else. The head is luted before there is any fire. The cold water runs only once the pot is singing, which needs the fire. Drawing off is last.

The hour, in words

Five buttons in two rows: Fill the pot, Lute the head and Light the fire across the top; Run the cold water and Open the cock below. Tap them in the order you would do them; each tap is added to the line marked Done so far. Then tap Work the still. Start again clears the line.

The answer

The answer is fill-lute-fire-cool-draw.

Fill the pot first, lute the head before the fire, light the fire, run the cold water through the worm once the pot sings, and open the cock last.
