Your search of this vile-smelling hall is rewarded when you discover a concealed door located in the far wall. What at first glance appears to be a coat peg is really the dial of a crude combination lock. You wipe away the grime that encrusts its numbers and examine it closely. By turning the dial to its correct numerical setting, you will cause the lock to disengage and the secret door will open.

Using your Kai Sixth Sense, you discover that the correct setting is the same as the solution to the following mathematical equation: 24 divided by 8, multiplied by 7, less 9.

If you cannot solve the equation, or if your answer turns out to be incorrect, turn instead to 261.
