At any rate, I didn't get any responses, so I'll try again. I have a couple of questions about zork so I can solve the main puzzles and get back to work: 1) How do you get the egg open without breaking the canary? People have skirted around this lately, but nobody has given any specifics. I usually kill the thief first thing, but maybe I should let him hang around for a while if he can be of service. 2) How do you inflate the balloon? Most things that burn don't seem to fit into the receptacle. There must be something I'm not finding, or some secret I'm not solving. With what I know, I have gotten a score of 453/560, which gives me the rank of winner, but I have yet to do either of these things. Can someone help me before I get fired?
