- Ok, everyone, I've been instructed by one said Robin Hood, who
- incidently has been courteously testing this thing on one of his transwarp-
- equipped machines, to write a 'witty introduction.' Now, your guess is as
- good as mineas to what he might mean by a 'witty introduction.' According to
- mr. webster here, witty is defined as: "having or showing wit; cleverly
- humorous." Now,all truths told, very little of what I say is ever considered
- to have or show wit, and the only thing I've ever seen that might be called
- cleverly humorous would have to be some of Robin Hood's programming attempts
- for the ForbiddenZone. All such formalities aside, I've also been instructed
- to comment on the problem posed by the urchin's tendancy not to stay put
- (you'll see what I mean later) so just keep this in mind. If you've made a
- typo at any point inexecuting this solve, the urchin may not be where Robin
- Hood and I found him.In this case, be ABSOLUTELY sure that you do not drop an
- object that you willneed later in the same room as the urchin. If you do, you
- may not see it everagain. Almost enough. There's only one more thing I've
- gotta say to ya'll. What pleasure do people derive from solving these things
- this way? I'm certain it's exciting in the same vague way as cheating at
- AD&D. I'll never know.Quite enough said. On with the solve...
