Huh?:confused:
Check the paper on the wall near the starting point.

If you're having trouble with frame rates after the "big fight", try not watching any of it :eek:
I know that's a real s**t, ( I love watching them too), but it worked for me after my rate dropped to almost zero.
Hope this helps.

OMG, I thought this had died !
Good to see it finally being released.
:D

Finally found my way into the ottoj55-area. Found one important item, but other than that, i assume, there should be more, but i can´t detect anything...
Did i miss something ??? (i´m short almost 1000 loot)
Otto's area has the one obvious objective item; but I forget, though, there may be more tucked away.
But if you are short 1000 in loot, chances are you haven't been past Sly's area,
where there is more than enough loot to meet the goal.

I went back to Shadowspawn's area because I didn't pick up a required object. After quicksaving I realized that I didn't have any rope arrows. :( Luckily I found one hidden nearby. :)

Same thing happened to me as nicked -- in The_Dude's crypt area, I frobbed the parchment beside the stairs and an objective ticked off for turning lead into gold!
This is a really fun (and funny) mission! Some of the readables are a riot -- I especially loved the ones in the doom room, the guy with the burricky cough and the one learning to play drums using his rotted legbones as sticks.
Lava pits were annoying, but I felt a nice sense of accomplishment when I finally made it through!:cheeky:
Can't wait to see what's coming next!

For the math problem ... This is the method to solve it, not the answer itself (for those that just need a nudge).
First, for those that don't know English very well, a palindrome means the number is the same forwards and backwards, for example the number 123321, or like the word racecar.
As for the problem,
there are only so many prime numbers between 11 and 97 (21 of them to be exact). Google "prime number list" and you'll find a list of them ((http://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/1000.txt) like this) if you don't want to figure them out. Then just look at one palindrome pair after another (e.g., 1111, 1331, 1771, 1991, 2332 ... etc) and you will see the answer sooner than you might think. As for how "x-y=y-1" works, it's simple algebra.
To take one example, for 3113, x=31, y=13, and to figure it out in three steps: (1) 31 - 13 = 18; (2) 13 - 1 = 12. (3) since 18 does not equal 12, you know it's not 3113. Keep doing that for each number you get above.
Not interested in the method, just someone please give me the number! Thanks :eww:

:cool: Did I miss getting a breath potion somewhere? I really don't want to re-do that lava area again!
Never mind. Didn't use my noodle!

Ok, I can't quite bring myself to spill the beans entirely, but a massive hint for the mathematically disinclined:
read an algebra book, man!! This is the_dude we're talking about; he doesn't want to make your life easy!joanieS on 3/4/2007 at 21:31
you don't need to know algebra or follow the formula. Knowing prime numbers and what a palindrome is will do it. I flunked algebra 100 years ago and got the number in about 2 minutes.
