To Get To The Other Side
By Bob Reeves
For Alan 2.8 interpreters
Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. A few optional (but significant) moves are shown in brackets, as these provide important
clues.
There are five coloured boxes. The first four boxes conceal another box, like a babushka doll.
Don't remove any of the boxes from its parent, or you'll have to put them all back again
later. Just carry the green box and all the others will move with it. Use LOOK IN <COLOUR> BOX
to see the contents of a box if you forget.
You can only open each coloured box in a specific coloured room. The first box (the green box) is
opened in the green room, but the others are opened in different coloured rooms. You can work out
the correct room by trial and error, but it's quicker to repair the TV (you have to do this to
earn a point anyway), then TURN ON TV.
Scores are shown in brackets as A/B, where A is points earned and B is cumulative points earned.
