These games (especially Riven) are full of shit moon logic, you're not dumb. I'm very good at puzzles, I'm even autistic enough to think the hard puzzles in The Witness are actually pretty easy (minus the boat, that was bullshit). But like, Myst is borderline random in terms of what does what and how that's conveyed. Every single time I've looked up a solution, it was always "how the fuck was I supposed to know that? Where was the indication that would happen?" And the answer is "there literally isn't one" more often than not.
