Fujita Scale puzzle | Nancy Drew : Trail of the Twister

Ma 'n Pa's General Store
Go to the museum and look close at the Fact or Fiction display.

Fujita Scale
Open the Fujita book. See graphs to compare the Fujita Scale to the revised EF scale.

The slightly lowered values are the ones to be entered on the fastest wind column.

Enter the EF scale values taken from the map in Scott's office.
The damage indicator can also be deduced from the description of the lowest to highest F value taken from the computer.

Pick up a windspeed tag or a damage picture and place it on the correct spot.

Circular murals | Nancy Drew: Tomb of the Lost Queen

On the left wall are 4 circular murals.
Go to the first mural and see that the heads can be rotated above the body of the depicted god.

Review the riddle paper Jamila gave you:

They arrive on six feet or soaring wings, with a howl or a bleat, the ancient reptile leading the way.

Underneath a blazing sun, the jackal joins the mix of hearts that stand as one betwixt the sky and the Underworld.

Dressed in red, she is joined by the child. As the evening dew appears in the cat's footprints, they learn of knowledge (looks like a snake to me).

Drawn onward by the steadfast cow, a throne accompanied by hieroglyphs arrives the balance of the mother.

Based on above clues and information from the Pantheon:

First circle: Change head to ancient alligator. 


Second circle:Falcon. 


Third circle: Lion or cat. 


Fourth circle: Woman with sun disk.
