Notes: Some things not needed to solve the game (room numbers refer to my map on CASA): Room 26: EXAMINE TABLE (you find a cube), EXAMINE CUBE (it has some writing on it), READ CUBE (PSZGI EMR FCPC RMM). This translates as "RUBIK GOT HERE TOO". Room 31: If you drink the liquid from the flask you die. Room 33: OPEN LOCKER and you die because of an explosion. Room 34: OPEN CUPBOARD (you find a tin), EXAMINE TIN (it has writing on it), READ TIN (211154 2511419). This should be read as 2-1-11-5-4 2-5-1-14-19 and translates as "BAKED BEANS".
