THE DUNGEONS OF MALDREAD
by Alan Devey
(Zenobi software)
This walkthru gets you through the game without solving one of the puzzles and only gets a 97%
solution. There is a cryptogram puzzle to solve, and since I did not solve it, that may be the
reason for the incomplete solution.
Hint for solving the gnome puzzle: eliminate or keep the letters from the first, second, fourth and
fifth clues; the answer to the third is the letter that is a homonym for "sea".
Hint for solving the Wizard puzzle: in order to take half an egg (which, of course, you cannot), the
number of eggs you start with must be an odd number so when that number is halved, then added to the
half egg, you end up with a whole number. That number must be an even number (in order satisfy the
condition of the second and third customers and create an odd number when you subtract - both
times). Use trial and error. (If you use 9 you get an even number of eggs left over after the first
customer. If you use 11, you get an even number of eggs left over after the second customer. Five is
too small for three customers. Only one number gets you odd numbers left over after the first and
second customers.
