Late to the Party By Michael Granath, writing as 'PapaQuark' For web browser Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make sense. Your objective is to find 8 party items and drop them in the living room to create a party atmosphere. As you don't have much time before the guests arrive, you'll have to improvise with whatever you can find around the house. Scores are shown in brackets as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned.
