Zork: Grand Inquisitor Hints
How can I cross the bottomless pits?
1 of 7: Have you tried jumping over them?
2 of 7: Or walking into them? Maybe they aren't really bottomless.
3 of 7: Well, they are. You'll have to find another way.
4 of 7: Since this is a university, consider this to be an "entrance" exam.
5 of 7: Examine the pillar by the side of each pit.
6 of 7: The Dungeon Master explains it fairly well, but in case there's any doubt, you need to rotate each of the three segments so that a picture forms.
7 of 7: When the picture is correct, you will be able to cross the pit.
