Puzzles & Passcodes:
Because time is everything in Resident Evil 3, you don't want to end up getting stuck and spending half an hour trying to solve (i.e. the Clock Tower time puzzle). And trying to work out the formulae to solve some of the more complicated puzzles is just plain frustrating. Therefore, I've travelled the net, done my own research, and compiled a list of possible passcodes and puzzle-solving charts. They are arranged here in the order you will encounter them during gameplay. I've left out a few of the puzzle sollutions, because they're just too bloody simple to need help with.

Police Station (Evidence Room): 0131 - 4011 - 0513 - 4312

Clock Tower (time puzzle):
Check the time on the middle clock. Using the middle clock's possible times as a reference point, I've created the following chart:
11 o'clock..................................Amber - Obsidian - Crystal
10 o'clock..................................Amber - Crystal - Obsidian
9 o'clock..................................Obsidian - Amber - Crystal
7 o'clock..................................Obsidian - Crystal - Amber
6 o'clock..................................Crystal - Amber - Obsidian
5 o'clock..................................Crystal - Obsidian - Amber
Hospital 4F (Cabinet Puzzle):
When you grab the passcode off the dead doctor, make note of where the cabinet is in this room. When you get to room 402 (just down the hall), move the cabinet to the mirrored position of where it was in the other room.
i.e.
Room 402 Dead Dr. Room
| c | | c | c = cabinet
| | | | _= door
| _ | | _ |
| (hallway)
Hospital (Synthesizer Puzzle):
Press the following switches: I, III, A to get the vaccine.
The Dead Factory (Steam Valve Puzzle):
(This trick is a tasty little time-saver.) You are supposed to do this puzzle by clearing a path to the control panel, then back-track to flip another switch, then head all the way back to the bloody control panel again. THIS TAKES TOO LONG!!! Here's a little trick: When you've made your way to the control panel, there'll be 2 steam valve blocking access to the control panel. Switch it so that only the bottom steam valve is on. Now RUN INTO IT, and repeatedly tap the x button.You should be able to access the control panel when you're in the path of the steam. Don't worry, though, the steam can't actually hurt you.
The Dead Factory (Water Sampler Puzzle):
Pass the Quality Control test by using the following chart. There are 4 possible sample puzzles, where you have to use 3 reels (A, B, C) to recreate the Water Sample. A sample contains 16 measure points, with each taking on a certain reactivity level (High, Middle, Low, None). For each possible sample puzzle, it suffices that you identify the first 2 measure points. From that, you can use the following table to solve the puzzle in the shortest possible time.
Table: Quality Control Test
1) High - None Reel A: right (x1)
Reel B: right (x1)
Reel C: left (x2)
2) Middle - Low Reel A: right (x1)
Reel B: right (x3)
Reel C: left (x3)
3) Middle - None Reel A: left (x4)
Reel B: right (x2)
Reel C: left (x2)
4) High - Low Reel A: left (x1)
Reel B: left (x2)
Reel C: right (x2)
That's all for now. I hope you've found what you needed here. Feel free to send me thank-you's, death-threats, viruses, and profanity riddled, LSD induced rantings HERE.
