Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints
How do I get rid of the guard this time?
1 of 7: Superball isn't on receptionist duty this time, so you can't use the same phone trick on him. But you can still play on his vocational confusion and rabid obedience to the rules to get him out of the way.
2 of 7: To do this, you'll need two things in this office: one on the president's desk, and one next to the president's desk.
3 of 7: Look at the large calendar on the easel to the right of the desk. What makes it a presidential calendar?
4 of 7: It's magic, that's what. You can change today's date by moving the sticky note that says "Today's Date" to whatever day you want it to be. Look at the holidays it shows to see if there are any you can use.
5 of 7: Now look at the stuff on the desk and see if you can find something connected to one of the holidays on the calendar.
6 of 7: April 26 is Secretary's Day (now known as Administrative Professionals Day, but excuse me). The red ribbon on the desk can be bestowed on anyone you want to appoint them as a secretary. (Yes, I know -- different kinds of secretaries. Just play along with me here.)
7 of 7: So what you need to do is give the ribbon to Superball to make him a secretary, then change the calendar to April 26.
