Day of the Tentacle Hints
The contract absolutely, positively has to be there yesterday.
1 of 10: It's too bad that Bernard can't travel back in time to mail it.
2 of 10: But wait! Hoagie has traveled back in time, and you can give him things.
3 of 10: Before you do anything with the letter, you'll still have to find the proper postage for the 1770's.
4 of 10: Weird Ed collects stamps.
5 of 10: In fact, he has some Pony Express stamps that you can use.
6 of 10: All you need to do is convince him to give up the stamps.
7 of 10: You need to find a way to make Ed think that the stamps are no good while you still keep them in good condition for Hoagie.
8 of 10: Put some disappearing ink on the stamp book and take the loose stamp. Don't forget to give Ed back his stamps, or else he might stay mad at you.
9 of 10: Then just put the stamp on the signed contract and send it to Hoagie.
10 of 10: Hoagie can then put the letter in the mailbox, and Fred will be rich!
