Alma Mater By Roger Carbol 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. Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in brackets. These can be omitted once you know what to do. (I) (you have a card) (X CARD) (it's a Mothers' Day card) (READ IT) GET UP (you get off the couch) (N) (Stev won't let you until you pet him) PET STEV (while you're distracted, he takes card, then wanders off) N (X MOTHER) (she's making sandwiches) (GET SANDWICH) (not until lunch is ready) OPEN FRIDGE (it's empty) Z Z Z (mother turns away from sandwiches to close fridge) GET SANDWICH DROP IT Z (repeat as necessary until Stev wanders in, drops card and eats sandwich) GET CARD GIVE IT TO MOTHER ***THE END***
