Ankh Hints
How can I distract Olga?
1 of 13: Examine her stand for possibilities.
2 of 13: There are several hungry cats on nearby crates who are all eyeing the stand hungrily.
3 of 13: So what's keeping them from getting in there and nabbing the food?
4 of 13: Not much, from the looks of things -- I guess they're too weak from hunger to be able to leap very high or far.
5 of 13: So you'll need to let them in the door.
6 of 13: There's a swinging door on the left side of the stand, near the hungry cats.
7 of 13: Right-click on it to try opening it.
8 of 13: It's held shut by a metal bar, which you can see just above the swinging door.
9 of 13: So take the bar first, then open the swinging door.
10 of 13: That's all the invitation the cats need -- they'll rush in, and Olga will scuffle with them to protect her fishcakes.
11 of 13: But don't wait too long to snatch what you want, since she'll toss the cats out and close the swinging door fairly quickly.
12 of 13: However, you can always open the door again to repeat the distraction if you need to.
13 of 13: That is, if the item you're trying to get is still on the counter. (The fishcakes won't be.)
