Arthur's Day Out By Jason Oakley 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. Scores are shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned. (E) (door is closed) (OPEN DOOR) (you're too dizzy, you need something for your hangover) (X NOTE) (can't see what's written on it) GET KNIFE (note falls to floor) X NOTE (it says 'MOLES') (+10=10) SEARCH FABRIC (you find a dressing gown) GET GOWN WEAR IT (+10=20) (X IT) (what's in it's pockets?) (X POCKET) (you notice something fluffy in it) (LOOK IN POCKET) (it's closed) OPEN POCKET (you find an analgesic pill) GET PILL (your head clears, so you can now open the door) (+20=40) OPEN DOOR E (X JUKEBOX) (it has a coin holder) (X HOLDER) (it's closed) OPEN HOLDER (you find a coin) GET COIN (+10=50) S (SEARCH BOARDS) (there's something between the cracks) S (S) (door is closed) (OPEN DOOR) (it's locked) E E E N N SEARCH CANOE (you find a hammer) (+10=60) GET HAMMER S S W W W N LIFT BOARDS (with hammer, board comes loose and you find a collar) (+20=80) (L) (there's now a board & collar) GET BOARD X COLLAR (pet collar with 'Y RAM IRP' on it = 'PRIMARY' backwards) (+10=90) S E E S W (X MACHINE) (it has coin slot & dispenser tray) PUT COIN IN SLOT (batteries fall into tray) (+10=100) GET BATTERIES U (X SAFE) (buttons BEP/ILR/NUK, BLUE is only primary colour that can be entered) TYPE EULB (primary colour BLUE in reverse, safe opens) (+30=130) (L) (you see a closed torch) GET TORCH OPEN IT PUT BATTERIES IN TORCH CLOSE TORCH D E N E N N ENTER CANOE (you row across river using board) E (it's dark) TURN ON TORCH (you find an office key) GET KEY (+10=140) (L) (note three bars of chocolate) (X CHOCOLATES) (you see Snickers, Flake & Kitkat) (X WALL) (choose wisely) W ENTER CANOE (you row across river using board) S S W W W UNLOCK DOOR WITH KEY OPEN DOOR (it's stuck) G (it's open) S (X COMPUTER) (there's a logon prompt) TYPE MOLES (from note in closet) (+20=160) X COMPUTER (unfinished game of Soilitaire spells out KATKAT) (+10=170) N E E E N N ENTER CANOE (you row across river using board) E GET KITKAT (it was an alien intelligence test all along) (+30=200) ***THE END***
