[net.games.rogue] rings of slow digestion

    Why is it that if you get the ring of of slow digestion, you always
seem to end up with 15 or 20 rations of food ?
 Is this built in to Rogue, or is it just coincidence ?

A ring of slow digestion decreases the need for food, thereby leaving
much more food left for the future, resulting in excess food.  Therefore,
it is obviously not coincidence.

Once again, our beginner forgot to mention the version.  Please state
the version as they do vary.  Since they vary, a person (such as me)
cannot answer your question to it's full extent.

The greatest thing is when you get TWO rings of slow digestion.  Then
you don't consume any food, and you can stay forever on a level,
slowly building up experience points and going up levels.  The only
problem is that it takes so long, you get bored.
