  • 3 of 13:
  • 4 of 13: The last hint window was empty -- just like...
  • 5 of 13: ...the tank!
  • 6 of 13: You obviously need to fill the tank.
  • 7 of 13: Did you fill it with both fuel and gas?
  • 8 of 13: The tank has both fuel and gas in it, but still nothing happens.  I suppose you think you've blown it?
  • 9 of 13: No, not yet.
  • 10 of 13: Well then, what are you waiting for -- blow it!
  • 11 of 13: You really have a "flare" for solving puzzles!
  • 12 of 13: What did you say?  You don't have a flare?  Have a good look in the cave beyond the fissures.
