Once again I'm begging for help with HHGTTG. At 350, just 50 points away, I'm stuck. Despited the information in the guide, the fluff seems worthless. How do you plant it, join it or whatever? Also, how do you get the tools where they are needed? I've tried using the thing. Is there a way to close it or force it to come to you? Don't bother with hints. Just tell me. I'm sick of this game. Many thanks. duke!jds

HHGttG -- the last 50 points for slight spoiler, press your space bar ... While you're in the whale, plant all fluff in the flowerpot. Put the flowerpot in the thing Drop the thing while you're still in the whale Wait for the whale to >splat< Sooner or later, back on the ship, the thing will show up with the flowerpot in it. Notice how a tiny stalk is starting to come up? Take the flowerpot out of the thing, then take it into the sauna. Eat the fruit of foreknowledge to find out what tool Marvin will want.

*** spoiler warning (just in case) ***
I happen to be down to the last 50 points in the game.
I have never seen a time when I was inside the whale.
There have been two times when I have seen the whale:
one is when you do the tea thing correctly and the
missiles turn into a whale, and the other is when you
do the tea thing incorrectly and you turn into the
whale (this only happened to me once, and I didn't have
a chance to move).
The hints sound appropriate, given the items and rooms
you haven't used. So, how do you get in the whale to
do those moves?
