This puzzle is really challenging, and is basically a letter/word substitution exercise. It is helpful and fun (but not necessary) to use a household object to solve this. Below are some graded hints leading to the solution, which is ultimately a common 5-letter word. It assumes you know key 81. If you don’t know it, then don’t continue. . .

The previous contributor is generous in describing this as "challenging". It is just "wrong". The puzzles in this book are becoming progressively worse and indefensible. The realisation that water in a glass causes left to right (and right to left) refraction of the pointers/routes, might be considered obscurely "challenging". However, the numbers sitting above the glass do not swap positions, and even if you hold the glass so high as to cause them to swap positions, they are still the same numbers but written backwards. Based on the previous page (puzzle 98) where part of the formula is back to front, I can only conclude the authors have lost all perspective.
