Day of the Tentacle Hints
I'm stuck in a tree!
1 of 10: Have you noticed what kind of tree that is?
2 of 10: It's a kumquat, same as the one back in Hoagie's time.
3 of 10: You can't do anything to the tree now, but perhaps if Hoagie did something to it in the 1700's, you could get down.
4 of 10: One of the characters in the 18th century is famous for cutting down trees.
5 of 10: But only cherry trees.
6 of 10: Why don't you talk to George Washington (as Hoagie)?
7 of 10: Tell him that you were thinking about the tree and then that he couldn't chop down a tree to save his grandmother.
8 of 10: Of course, you'll only be able to get George to cut down a tree with red fruit. It's too bad that the kumquat has yellow fruits.
9 of 10: Maybe you should just turn the fruits red yourself.
10 of 10: There's some red paint in the attic. Use it on the tree and then you can tell George Washington to cut down the tree. Laverne will come down.
