Merk By Jesse McGrew, Kate Matthews For Z-code interpreters Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make sense. OPEN ENVELOPE READ LETTER (you now know your mission, this triggers Jim's arrival) GIVE IT TO JIM (Jim reads the letter and shoots through, you're on your own) READ BOOK (you find a typewriter store in Braintree) N W PUT PASS IN TURNSTILE Z Z Z (train is approaching) Z Z Z (train is arriving) Z Z (train arrives, you step on board) Z (arriving at Broadway, this is a bug as you're already there) Z (arriving at Andrew) Z (arriving at JFK/UMass) Z (arriving at North Quincy) Z (arriving at Wollaston) Z (arriving at Quincy Center) Z (arriving at Quincy Adams) Z (arriving at Braintree) OUT SE ASK SALESMAN ABOUT OLD TYPEWRITER (he shows you into the back room) TYPE ON TYPEWRITER (you're sucked through a vacuum) S (alien is not happy, as you've brought him a cursed typewriter) Z Z Z (plunger rises out of ground) PUSH PLUNGER ***THE END***
