- S049: "You see a box mounted on the wall in one corner."
- S050: "You see an open box mounted on the wall in one corner."
- S051: "You're at the south end of a long north-south hallway in Hodges Hall.
- To the west you see stairs leading down."

- S056: "There's really not much to be seen other than the door."
- S057: "It has a sign, reading:
- Radiation Hazard
- Laser Light Hazard
- Nuclear Fusion Hazard
- Undergraduate advisor: 2nd door on right.
-
- Other than that, it's perfectly all right, except for the doorknob."
- S058: "It looks like a doorknob. It's humming softly."

- as well as north or south."
- S076: "You're in a short east-west hall off the main hall. You can see an
- elevator here. (They forgot the sign, but it's still out of order.)"
- S077: "It's just an ordinary door."
- S078: "You know, ugly grey, doors meet in the middle, etc."
- S079: "Boy, what a mess. Buckets, pails, gigantic mops, dust cloths, brooms,
- cleaning solutions, etc. etc. etc., are scattered about with no semblance of
- order. It rather resembles your apartment (the level of organization, not the
- contents). You manage to squeeze into it. After a few moments of looking, you
- think you hear something on the other side of the south wall."
- S080: "You're at the south end of a long north-south hallway. To the west you
- see stairs leading up and down. To the east is a door leading into a lab."
- S081: "The lab door is open."
- S082: "The lab door is closed."
- S083: "A sizeable room, with all the characteristics of a student lab. Long,
- waist-high tables with black tops and sinks, cupboards along the walls
- containing all manner of arcane bottles and jars, mysterious equipment on
- shelves around the perimeter of the room. Nearby you see a 55-gallon aquarium
- containing a large red fish. Next to the aquarium is one of those mysterious
- pieces of equipment, a black box with three buttons."
- S084: "It says: Herring Aid Lab."
- S085: "A rectangle made of plexiglass, about a meter long and roughly less than
- half that thick. It contains a large red fish, as well as some sort of box-ish
- looking thing half buried in the gravel. Next to the aquarium lies a smallish
- black box with three buttons."
- S086: "It's aquarium gravel."
- S087: "A smallish box, black in colour, with three buttons on top: white, blue,
- and green, from left to right."
- S088: "It reads: Acme Red Herring."
- S089: "It's a small white button on the black box."
- S090: "It's a small blue button on the black box."
- S091: "It's a small green button on the black box."
- S092: "At first glance, you thought it was a red oscar, but it's rather too red
- for that. What kind of fish it might be is tickling the back of your
- memory...."
- S093: "You're in the south stairwell. Stairs lead up, and dark, foreboding
- stairs lead down. There is a door to the east."
- S094: "Let's not. Only geologists live down there."
- S095: "Getting claustrophobic, are we?"
- S096: "Dead end."
- S097: "You are in a small room, lit only by a bare 40-watt light bulb hanging
- from the ceiling. The floor is littered with paper listings and several copies
- of "Spelunker Today." On a table you see a very disreputable-looking IBM PC
- clone... and the missing Owlet-Picker V printer!"
- S098: "On the listings you see intriguing bits of code, but the gnome won't let
- you close enough to them to make anything out."
- S099: "They look familiar somehow, like you've seen them before somewhere, but
- you're at your wits' end trying to decide where...."
- S100: "some"
- S101: "It looks just like the one on your desk in the Computer Center.
- Hmm...."
- S102: "It looks just like the printer table in the Computer Center. Hmm..."
- S103: "In a corner, there's a boombox playing the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,
- by J.S. Bach."
- S104: "It looks like a regular boombox, playing Bach."

- S108: "Mouse /mauz/ n, pl mice /mis/, any of many small, scampering rodents,
- particularly the house mouse (Mus musculus), family Muridae (order Rodentia)."
- S109: "There's a sign on the wall near the entrance."
- S110: "It reads:
-
- W - W - W - E - E - W - U
-
- Perhaps the gnome is forgetful?"
- S111: "A wizened brown figure, almost exactly unlike any you've ever seen in
- the movies. His button-down shirt sports a pocket protector holding a variety
- of pens, he has Coke-bottle glasses with thick black rims, and his eyes have
- the look only gained from consuming four liters of Jolt Cola."

- S129: "There's an interesting door there..."
- S130: "Enter the janitor's closet and LISTEN."

- S132: "The owner of the grumbling voice in the janitor's closet has the stolen
- printer, but the entrance to his location isn't on the first floor..."
- S133: "Try wandering around on the second floor."
- S134: "See the next section of hints for more info on what to do on the second
