To add to your quest for knowledge... pleased I can do so.

I use both Imperial measurements and metric, the former because I have recipes from pre-metric days, as well as utensils.

At the level of "cup" = 250 ml, the difference doesn't really matter.

But at the level of gallons and litres, it can ...

Amazing - awesome work Alastair.

I used to do those kind of "relationship grid" puzzles when I was an adolescent. It occupied me for days, though I finally stopped doing them when I was more unsuccessful than not.

Doesn't 2 cups = 1 pint hold for the UK? It holds in Canada.

Sorry, my mistake - that is where you get the minstrel.

What I should have said is SE of the Broad Hall, then UP, then W (at a corridor with 8 exits.). When you go S, you see Tinsel, who kills you (I think unless you do something - what?). Likely the same thing with the golem, the plant, the ...

Presuming this is an Apple game, I can't seem to get it to load.

I am using Applewin 1.14.2. I get the loadoing screen, but then it quits.

Any help with this?

Ring - go SW from the Broad Hall and do something there.

Card - go E frpm the Broad Hall with a light source, but don't open the box right away.

I too cannot get the vinegar out of the dish. Vinegar and soda mixed together apparently can clear out drains, though haven't found one to clean out yet ...

There's also a ring to get, a paper, and a minstrel (chocolate), and a card.

I didn't mean that you needed to fix the ending. I meant that having a different ending depending on what one does would have been nice.

Oh well. Onward and upward.

ring quest

This is a spectrum game available at WoS.

Since it is one of the requested solutions on Jacob's site, it might be worth playing, and get more of us stuck. I am s-o-o-o optimistic.

I've mapped out a few locations. Where logic would seem to work, it doesn't unless I have problems with the verbs ...

I have finished. Though the message is still the same, regardless. Fixing that would have been a nicer touch.

I am trying to write it up, though given the state of my notes, this isn't easy. Will do hints as well.

You are getting first credit (having debugged the game, of course).

I am not sure ...

Thanks Dave,

Yes, I finally found the spike. Thought I had inserted it, but I guess not.

Will try again.

Well, I managed to finish without getting Zelda.

I know how to get her out. But I can't get out of the area (where the spear is). Examing the slimy walls gets you a small hole, but I do not know what to insert in it to get out.

I believe you need to visit this location before you deal with ...

I've re-read all these posts. I don't recall any spike, not any symbol.

I have the stake - what to put in the small hole? (below the ziggarat.

Don't swap for the pill.

At the summit by the machine, I dropped things down the mountain. I don't know if that is the correct thing to do.

Still haven't got the key from the ladder room.

I don't know if the rabbit's foot is helpful anywhere. This "lucky" charm does not help at the "unlucky ...

There is a coin in the room east of the market, while the pego is found south ot the market. One I suppose is for the door, the other for the potion. I used the coin. I guess I need to try the pego.

Aaahhh - the challenge of retrieving lost memories and/or notes. Lord love us, Dave, you think this is do-able, eh? I will try (with the hope that at least I typed up what I did). Reading my own writing is becoming a challenge in itself, let alone recalling what it is that I meant to write/do.

I am ...
