is there any purpose to the brick in zork..i suspect strongly that there is something hidden inside it but il be damned if i can get at it.
also is there anything behind the nailed door in the house
and is there a key to the grate in the forest....

                    thanks for any help...

Someone tells me the brick is a bomb, find and insert the wire and light it.
No flames, please, personally I am inclined to doubt it.
He says you get one move before the bomb blows, and three or four before
the room collapses.

The brick is a plastic explosive. It is necessary when you ascend the volcano
(dormant of course) in the balloon to get the strongbox. You also need the
fuse!!

The nailed door will be transformed(sort of) when you find and deal success-
fully with the Cyclops.

Hope that helps.
