Case 01, part 4
Three seconds. Every button in the fourth row, all at once. The Rain Log has the time and the rain. Not what was inside. Only a rule: do not ask about the fourth row.

Case 01, part 3
Two hands on one index card. "It hums in C." "It hums in C sharp. Listen again." Both right: C when it is dry, C sharp when it rains. Then one Rain Log entry. 03:03. The fourth row lit up.
