Brodgar: The Ruins of Dun Candrae (Level 1-10)
Tue Aug 17 18:52:06 2004
To: all
Somehow I managed to miss posting that the area Joysinger and I wrote went in during this last boot. *Blinks*
The area is just south of Malacandra and is for levels 1 through 10. It's a relatively small area,
but introduces a brand new type of puzzle and also if you read carefully, the secret to a piece of low level
flaming equipment.
IDEAS -- THis is our ONE idea. Have you all lost your ability to idea? Send them now now now!

NO!! Disarming is one of the best ways to get rid of a cursed weapon! (For
those of us who are too cheap -- or too nervous -- to visit the Hangman.)

Oh, sure. And when you astral or teleport or portal or whatever, you leave
all of your gold and equipment behind, too. Umm, no, thank you.

Real Answers from Tests Given Sixth Graders
You can listen to thunder and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it, you got hit, so never mind.
There are 26 vitamins in all, but some of the letters are yet to be discovered.
Vacuums are nothings. We only mention them to let people know they're there.
The cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things, like when people forget
to put the top on.
Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does.
Mushrooms always grow in damp places, which is why they look like umbrellas.
Momentum is something you give a person when they go away.
Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun, but I have never been able to make out the numbers.
When planets run around and around in circles, we say they are orbiting. When people do it, we say they are crazy.
One of the main causes of dust is janitors.
A census taker is a man who goes from house to house increasing the population.
