The watermelon, also called the melon, is Chapter 4 optional 9.1. You photograph the sky, use that blank photo to slice the fruit so it stops rolling, put a half on the scale, photograph the half, and stack copies until the scale tips. IGN, GamesRadar, and the Steam guide all describe that scale. The final puzzle is Chapter 5 Level 4.9: camera, cage, lever, Cait’s goodbye, the teleporter, the seedling. The sound puzzle is not one room. It is the stretch 6.1 through 6.6 in Mirren, radios and speakers on timers. The copy machine first appears in Chapter 1 Level 3.1 and comes back whenever a later room needs a duplicate.

“Mirren’s puzzle” is not a phrase the guides use. The closest single room is 7.4, where the Weather Disrupter fails. I mark that link as probable, one source, not as a verified alias. Cage, box, and tetris do not map. Cages show up in several chapters, boxes are generic set dressing, and no walkthrough calls a Viewfinder room “tetris”. I will not add three empty rows that look like answers. If you arrived from a “4 23 hint” search, the telescope room is Chapter 4 Level 2.3, and the speaker room some sites also call 2.3 is the sound stretch above.
