	In the Mechanical age, there are 3 islands, one north, south, and east 
with a metal hut in the middle.  You start on the one in the south.  Now...if 
there were just some way you could -turn- that metal hut so it points to the 
other 2 islands, you may find the combination there.  Don't give up, it took me 
quite a while before I figured this age out myself.
