I'm sorry I know I must seem really old fashioned, but I'm still playing at
Monkey 2 (we're a bit late in Europe). And I've got a problem, if anyone did
the game and remembers it, here it is :
I'm in the cottage at Phatt Island
  I used the telescope with the monkey statue and put the mirror at its
place in the house but it was'nt of any help, I still cannot do anything
when the man goes and gets the glass full of rhum.
  I also saw the hole in the cliff on the beach down the cottage but I don't
know what it could be useful to

What can I do ?

>(we're a bit late in Europe)

So late, really. Digital cable, HDTV, standard ISDN, effective mass
transportation, mandatory recycling, the world's best highway system, all
months or years before the US. Maybe France is not all the way to the European
standards what these things are concerned, but you shouldn't complain!

That is actually one of the spots in the game where I got stuck too!!  The thing is,  it aint necessarily THAT puzzle
that is so hard to work out..  its more getting what you have to USE.

You are at a Pirate's pad right?  He is a GROG fanatic right?  He challenges you to a GROG drinking contest right?

OK.. so logic would say first that you either have to get him to drink the grog first and hope HE passes out..  or find
a way to stop yourself from passing out when you drink.

I know that is pretty vague..  but if you are anything like me you rather be "nudged" so you can work it out yourself
than just be given an outright spoiler..

If I was TOO cryptic,  just post again and I will be a little more obvious.
