Inside the drain are a key and a spider that bites! The path to the right of the fountain goes to Bruno's crypt. It has buzzards guarding the pathway and a master of buzzard on the roof of the mausoleum. The path left of the fountain is the wall, a mushroom and some herbs on the fountain side.

The bottom books represent baby teeth while the top books represent the adult teeth. The object of the puzzle is to click on the books in the order based on Booker's Teeth history.  Use the dental chart in the secret room as reference. The arrangement of the teeth in the dental chart is:

Baby teeth (from center to the back) - central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, first molar and second molar.
Adult teeth (from center to the back) - central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, first bicuspid, second bicuspid, first molar, second molar and third molar.

The baby teeth mentioned in the history: upper right second molar, upper right central incisor, lower left lateral incisor and lower right canine.
The adult permanent teeth mentioned in the history: lower right canine, upper left first bicuspid, lower left canine and lower left 3rd molar.
