SPOILER WARNING: THIS GUIDE EXPLAINS HOW TO BEAT FINGERED'S ULTIMATE PUZZLE! TREAT THIS GUIDE AS A LAST RESORT!



You've blasted your way through 20 witnesses, and now you're faced with your most intimidating challenge yet: getting accurate witness testimony out of a dog. Get ready to Finger your last criminal!

Dog is outwardly unhelpful. The only hints he gives are barking noises, and he won't stop yapping whenever you move the spotlight. However, this yapping is the key to your success!

Whenever you switch the spotlight to a new suspect, Dog will bark a certain amount of times; anywhere from two to five barks. Typically, the bark he performs will be random. However...

Dog's bark will not be randomized in one situation. If you move the spotlight onto the correct suspect, Dog's barks will cease to be random, and he will bark the same amount of times every time. In my case, this meant Dog barked four times every time I moved the spotlight onto the correct suspect; never two, never three, never five.

This is a time-consuming method, but it near-guarantees that you will find the culprit.

1. Navigate to the first suspect in line.
   
2. Listen to how many times Dog barks.
   
3. Move the spotlight off the first suspect, then back onto him. Does Dog bark the same amount of times as he did the first time? If so, look down at the bolded text below. If not...
   
4. Navigate to the next suspect in line, and repeat Steps 2-3. Repeat this process with all suspects until you find the one where Dog's bark doesn't change.
   
   
   • If Dog continues to bark the same amount of times every time you move the spotlight onto a suspect, congratulations! You might have found the correct suspect. I say "might" because it's not unheard of for Dog to bark the same amount of times 5-6 times in a row, then bark a completely different number of times. You'll want to test the suspect several times to be sure: I recommend at least 10 of the same bark in a row to be absolutely sure. Once you're certain, finger him!
   
   
   I made this text file while trying to figure out what makes Dog tick. It measures the amount of barks Dog makes whenever I move the spotlight. The first number in X-X is the suspect, the second number is the hint I was tabbed on. Notice how the amount of times Dog barked was totally random... until I got to the 9th suspect! The hint you're tabbed onto was proven irrelevant, so don't worry about that.

I hope this guide helps you best Dog! As Fingered hasn't been out for long, Dog may hold mysteries that I don't know about yet. Dog's behavior and mannerisms haven't been fully documented, so your mileage may vary. If you know of an easier way of beating Dog, tell me about it so I can add it to this guide!
