Mike,

There is a bug in the game where one of the clues you receive is wrong by
about a factor of 10.  As a result, you always get the wrong answer, even
if you have all the necessary clues.  I don't have my notes, so I can't
tell you which clue was incorrect.  See the spoiler below for the answer.

There is another bug in the game involving the brothers with Greek names.
The last brother does not give you an important message.  Again, without
notes, I don't remember the brother's clue.  Perhaps a lurker can help.

You might contact New World Computing for an update.  There are also several
hints on CompuServe in the GAMERS and GAMPUB fora.

-Steve-


**** SPOILER ****














The number for the arachnid cavern is: 20301.
