You mentioned finding that on the Heart of Gold's Bridge when you first arrived. I assume you still have it (or have access to it).Voltglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893726442063421240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-62586658128842984102018-09-04T21:42:01.585+10:002018-09-04T21:42:01.585+10:00A couple of other comments:
The logic behind the ...A couple of other comments:<br /><br />The logic behind the Zaphod "steer the boat at the spire" puzzle is that the speedboat has an autopilot, but it won't activate unless the boat is clearly in danger. If you're steering towards the channel, the autopilot thinks there is no danger, so won't activate (and so you will crash). You need to steer directly at a hazard like the spire (I think steering directly at the rocks also works) for the autopilot to kick in.<br /><br />The Ford Prefect sequence is also another opportunity to solve the dog-and-microscopic-space-fleet puzzle. If you never fed the sandwich to the dog when playing as Arthur, you can buy a sandwich as Ford and give it to Arthur, who then feeds the dog on his way out of the pub.<br /><br />Speaking of the microscopic space fleet - did you notice which war the two generals are veterans of? And what triggered that war (and thus why they were traveling to Earth)? [This entire sequence is straight out of the books.]Voltglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893726442063421240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-24711756932935953012018-09-04T21:27:17.883+10:002018-09-04T21:27:17.883+10:00InvisiClues-style ROT13 hints to the rescue!
