.GSTR STR?812,"Then solve the puzzle involving the giant dog."
.GSTR STR?817,"This is the very same dog you ran into in the Country Lane back at the beginning of the game."
.GSTR STR?838,"What is this black particle for?"
.GSTR STR?889,"What is the thing my aunt gave me?"
.GSTR STR?895,"This is useful for transporting more objects than you can carry, but it isn't ever necessary to do so."
.GSTR STR?933,"A list of all four fluff, and their locations, follows. You shouldn't look at this list unless you're completely stumped, because it will give away a lot."
.GSTR STR?941,"What do I do about the plant?"

.GSTR STR?591,"Eddie (the shipboard computer) jammed the hatch to prevent anyone from leaving the ship until he's checked to make sure the environment is safe."
.GSTR STR?667,"Black paint? There's no black paint. You're looking at answers you shouldn't be."
.GSTR STR?730,"The draped cage on his shoulder does NOT contain a bird."
.GSTR STR?736,"Arthur keeps trying to start a conversation with you, but he's too shy and embarrassed. If you try to talk to him, he finds your tone rather cool, and moves away."
.GSTR STR?785,"Arthur is now willing to follow you to the Pub."
.GSTR STR?801,"Give the fluff to Arthur."

.GSTR STR?364,"For example, when smell disappears, type SMELL DARK. If the object is ""being waved,"" then the exit leads to the Vogon Hold. If the object is ""waving,"" the exit is the Lair of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal."
.GSTR STR?365,"When hearing is missing: If the sound is ""far above you,"" then your exit is Entry Bay Number Two of the Heart of Gold. If it's ""far below you,"" then it's the War Chamber of the battle fleet."
.GSTR STR?367,"When feel is missing: If it feels ""cold"" and wet and squishy, the exit is to the Living Room party. When it's ""warm,"" your exit is into the sperm whale."
.GSTR STR?368,"When you are controlling dark and have determined your current exit, but you don't want to go there, simply WAIT and you will get a new missing sense. NOTE: You will never get the whale exit unless you are using real tea for your Brownian Motion source."
.GSTR STR?419,"When you placed the satchel in front of the panel, the satchel is now LYING ON ITS SIDE in front of the panel."
.GSTR STR?426,"When the upper-half-of-the-room cleaning robot grabbed the babel fish the first time it said that the fish was ""the only flying junk"" that the robot found."
.GSTR STR?442,"When he finishes the first verse the Captain says, ""You didn't look like you enjoyed my poetry at all!"" and then has you thrown into space."
.GSTR STR?446,"For example, if the recording asked you to type the second word from the second verse, and the word was ""lyshus,"" you should type TYPE ""LYSHUS"" when you get back to the Vogon Hold. NOTE: Each time you play the game, the lines of the second verse come in different orders. Similarly, the glass case's recording asks for a different number word each time you play."
.GSTR STR?484,"When you use the drive while it's plugged into the large receptacle, both the large receptacle and the large plug are destroyed."
.GSTR STR?580,"Before Marvin will perform his one task, you must get past the screening door near the aft end of the corridor."
.GSTR STR?595,"Someone else does."
.GSTR STR?675,"The entire point of this scene is to get that Nutrimat/Computer Interface."
.GSTR STR?791,"When Arthur's house is destroyed, he will rush out of the Pub. It would be a good idea to stay with him."
.GSTR STR?809,"Those two warring races have now set off on a quest for vengeance against the world (Earth) that spawned the person (you) whose remark set off their war."

.GSTR STR?788,"The first thing to do is BUY SOME BEER."
.GSTR STR?847,"The first theory states that the particle is too small to see when you recover from being microscopic."
.GSTR STR?851,"You should be able to figure it out for yourself."
.GSTR STR?854,"The first goal is to get the awl."
.GSTR STR?907,"You should read the Guide entry on the Thumb."
.GSTR STR?916,"The first is near the beginning of the game, when you use it to get to the Vogon ship."
.GSTR STR?937,"You should plant each piece of fluff in the flowerpot."
