Well, it's only written in pencil as of now, and not in the world's most logical order. I can and will have to rearrange the order of things to include the balloon, but I don't mind.

While, in a way, I agree that the balloon should be needed - missed that part of the message, when you go to the dentist's and get laughing gas, you just inhale it, no?

As you say, it is a "logical" bug, rather than "you can't finish the game bug".

I can do the hints. So it's up to you if you already have a better solution done.

The cylinder doesn't hold laughing gas, that is just the game making a suggestion to the player that is deliberately wrong. 'He' is actually helium, used in balloons but not usually associated with any medical procedures although since the medical centre is on an android station perhaps helium is used in operations on androids.

Point well taken. I did miss the HE and should have known better.

I may be getting too old for this, missing all these cues.

OK - since you did not respond to my "suggestion" about writing it up, I will redo it. Then I'll have all these AHA experiences.

In writing up the walkthrough I've reached the pipe maze, unless you have progressed much further then perhaps you may want to write some hints?

I have (first draft) written a solution and hints, in a better order.

There are likely to be mistakes.

I was going to send them to you for editing and revision, after I redid it again, but you can look at it now.

I'll send it to you.
