I am playing MMIII and I can't solve the riddle in the Arachnoids cavern. I have tried several combinations, but I can't come up with the required number - could someone give me a hint. Thanx, _Mike_ Michael...@eng.sun.com

A couple of the riddles in that game I _NEVER_ understood, even after I found out the answers... One nice thing about MM3 is that they eventually tell you the answers to all the riddles, so you don't miss out completely if you can't figure them out... I was grateful for that, because a couple of them were rather non-sensical, I think...

I believe that the answer that you get when you try to solve the arachnoid cavern is incorrect, (due to a bug?) Anyway, just look around in the pyramids and you'll find it sooner or later. ============================================================================== This space for rent--------> Ken Call k...@doc.ic.ac.uk for details, office hours only.

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. -- Steve Poulsen, Integrated Measurement Systems, Inc.
