There's no way that'll work. Not in 12.0 at any rate. d What do you want to drop ? . How much gold do you want to drop ? 90000000000000 (give or take a few zeros) Forget it, you clown (You don't have that much, to be precise) Try again.

Given a number in the right range, it does work in LARN 12.0. I will give you the number that will give you the most gold. Type 'n' if you don't want to know what it is. The same trick will work with HACK 1.0.3. However, doing this is extremely unpolite, nasty, and unprofessional. I am sorry when I tried it on HACK, I never expected it to work; but unlike LARN the score gets saved when I quit. So now I have to find some way to get the sore off the record file. Have fun cheating. May a giant rat bite off all your toe nails. *********************** SPOILER TO FOLLOW *********************** *********************** SPOILER TO FOLLOW *********************** *********************** SPOILER TO FOLLOW *********************** Well, since you are dying to know, try: 2,147,483,649 (== 2**31 + 1). Anything between this and 2**32 - 1 will do. But of course 2**32 - 1 will only give you one unit of gold. To get the maximum gold, make sure you start out with 0 gold. Otherwise the two quantities will add and you get a wrap around.
