Escape from Monkey Island Hints
How do I appease the grouchy judge?
1 of 11: Ask him why he's giving you such low scores.
2 of 11: He'll go off on a tirade about his redheaded family and how he is giving you low scores out of necessity.
3 of 11: Since his problem is personal and in no way involves you, he's not going to give you a decent score, no matter how good your dive is. You're going to have to resort to more drastic measures in order to get to this guy.
4 of 11: Blackmail would do the trick.
5 of 11: Maybe you could threaten to show something to his redheaded wife.
6 of 11: Perhaps a photograph of some sort?
7 of 11: There's only one item on the island that has photos on it. You may already have it in your inventory.
8 of 11: If not, go check out Stan's Time Share.
9 of 11: You'll find a brochure there, which Stan is more than happy to let you take.
10 of 11: Look at the brochure. In it, you'll find a picture of the grouchy judge with a woman who's definitely not his wife.
11 of 11: Go show the brochure to the judge, and he'll agree to judge you fairly.
