Great.  Now he goes and offers NO proof as to why one DOES need the lamp.  Since,
the oh-so-mighty Matthew can't seem to get it, I'll tell you how.  You DON'T NEED
THE LAMP because there are two other ways to finish the game.  You can either give
the mint to the Genie at the end (instead of using the lamp on him) to conquer him,
them follow the same procedures.  Or you can disguise yourself in Beauty's costume
and go inside.

See, I at least can provide EVIDENCE of the game.  But you can't.  You just say
"YES IT DOES".  Gee.  Maybe you're not half as smart as you think you are.  And you
even reduced ME to personal criticism, which is very below me, but seems right up
your alley.

With THIS inane comment.  I feel sorry for you, mister, for being so deluded in
your own grandeur of self-led importance and supposed intelligence.  You have posed
NO logic to your conclusions, have not EVEN provided satisfactory debate against my
claims, and is definitely OBSESSED with one particular puzzle which very few other
people have had problems with.  I believe the problem is, you , and not me.  No
wonder you could solve those illogical puzzles so well.
