How does the Crime Tron work?

TeethTeeth
edited April 2010 in Sam & Max's House of Hints
I can't figure out what is going on when I use items with Carol - I've tried putting the
phone, note and ring
into it, and when I put the
phone and ring
in together, it looks like it scans it, but...nothing happens after that. Can anyone help me out?

    Because phone and ring are not corresponding to each other. Try other combinations, and finding other items to scan.

    Crime-Tron recognises an item or not.
    If it recognises 2 items you put in it will scan them, but if they do not match it doesn't produce a result.

    The combinations are:
    1)
    Stinky's phone + Meesta Pizza shot glass = Meesta Pizzaa
    2)
    Postcard + Ring = Pawn Shop
    3)
    Paddle Ball + Receipt = Toy Shop

    Well, the answers are already given, so give me some time to do a little ranting about Carol, hopefully making TTG improve her if still used the next episode.

    1) When I got asked a "hint" on Crime-Tron, I first figured it was yet *another* hintsystem (aside from the actual one and future-vision), so I picked no. And got a little stumped like the OP too, although just messing around solved that for me :D.
    2) Please allow to use items on Carol activating the device. There were instances were I did that and Sam just used his basic command and I was like "Oh yeah, first have to click Carol to use her." This will also make things a little smoother for repeat cases as you already have the first item without picking it up from the inventory again after clicking Carol.
    3) I often tried skipping the bleeps with right mouse button, and some times instead of skipping just the sound it also closed my inventory and the Carol screen. I know it remembered my last item imput (since it still displays on the screen of Carol) but I can't add item #2 like in suggestion 2)... And to add injury to insult when clicking her again that first item was cleared again, so I had to repeat adding it to. Got bothersome after a while.

    Hopefully if she appears next episode these tweaks could be done to make using her a little bit more inituative and less irritating (well, to me at least).

    Hint 1: Something involving BOTH of the gorillas in the scene.
    Hint 2: Something involving teleportation.
    Hint 3: Something involving the flagpole.
