Possible problem - Loose Ends
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2020 4:21 am
Trying to do Loose Ends (Spectrum) and part 1 solution is not working around this point:
N, E, GIVE HELM (Goliath leaves), S (charwoman leaves), N, EXAMINE SEATS, TAKE TOMATO, N, TAKE BOOK
First of all the second N seems wrong, since the seats and tomato are in the southern room, not the northern one. So I removed that. Also you don't need to TAKE TOMATO since it's done automatically when you examine the seats. So it apparently should be:
N, E, GIVE HELM (Goliath leaves), S (charwoman leaves), EXAMINE SEATS (auto-getting tomato), N, TAKE BOOK
But Goliath doesn't stay away long enough. If I do the above, he returns at TAKE BOOK and sees me, and confiscates the book. But if I try any other sequence, something else goes wrong: either he confiscates the skull, or I get to the charwoman too late and she has taken the tomato. How can I keep all the required objects?
