Discworld Hints
How do I get Windle Poons' staff?
1 of 12: I really think that this puzzle was so obscure as to be ridiculous. You might be able to solve it from trial and error, but I'd be very suprised if you solve it with logic.
2 of 12: Remember how you found that worm in the tomato in the stand in the square?
3 of 12: Well, see what the eggs have to offer.
4 of 12: Believe it or not, the snake that comes out when you take your first egg is the solution to this puzzle.
5 of 12: You can use it as a replacement staff.
6 of 12: But it's too small and flexible.
7 of 12: You should have encountered something to make *anything* grow.
8 of 12: Use the fertilizer that was behind Unseen University on the snake.
9 of 12: Now try to stiffen it.
10 of 12: Use the same thing that you might use to stiffen clothes.
11 of 12: There's some starch in the closet of Unseen University. In case you haven't already done so, use the matches from the bar to light the lamp ("shape") in the closet.
12 of 12: Now just switch the snake and the staff, and there's your broom handle.
