Again, an idea that goes way beyond what the parser could offer. A pity, because the game is very much in the Carrollian spirit and the riddles are good fun, but the interface is too awkward. Even the font is a fail: digits turn out to be mirror images of letters, but they are in fact illegible. Doesn't half work despite the conceptual flair.
