In fact, with practice, you can actually nail that little button the "normal" way-- but you won't get credit for solving the puzzle unless you "cheat." The puzzles that stick in my mind the most aren't the hard ones so much as the annoying ones-- the High Priestess and the Hedge Maze w/winds, for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wright DWRIGHT@SIF Macintosh Systems Manager Internet: dwright@hmcvax.claremont.edu Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA Consider it disclaimed! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is kinda embarassing, but the last puzzle I finally solved was --- one of those damn word search grids. The one with colors. Agh! My eyes went blurry looking for the last color! But I did it! I found it! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now all I have to do is get the furshlugginer map together.... I especially enjoyed, by the way, the reassemble-the-picture type puzzles. Not difficult, mind you, but fun. Also the select- the-buttons-in-the-right-order puzzles.

The ones that had me stumped for a long time were Death and the Three Ships. Actually, the Three Ships was only difficult before I solved the Devil. The High Priestess, the Hermit, and the Humbug were annoying puzzles, but not difficult. On one of the treasures (the Straight Path is disguised) I took a wild stab at it and got it right. Miracle.
