----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. The score is measured as achievements. There are a maximum of 16 achievements. Some of these
are extremely obscure. Achievements are shown in parentheses as +A=B, where A is achievements earned
and B is cumulative achievements earned. Optional (but significant) commands are shown in
parentheses. You can omit these once you know what to do.
