11th Hour - Getting Started

                   Supplied by Phil Darke

After the whole intro sequence, you'll wind up in the Foyer.  Look
familiar?  Head off to the right and go into the Library.  Turn
till you're facing the fireplace.  Note there's a bottle there.
Your first "treasure hunt" clue from the GameBook is "Winter Coat
Worn For A Mixer."  Well, "Winter Coat" is actually an anagram for
"Tonic Water."  So grab the bottle of tonic water.  You get a new,
short video sequence.  Now, since you're here, walk over to the
bookshelf.  Note you get the pulsing brain icon when you sweep the
cursor across that area.  Click on it, and you'll see a row of
eight books.  The object is to put all the green books on the
left, and all the red books on the right.  You can only move
adjacent pairs, and it has to be done in four moves.  So, if the
books are set up like this:

1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8

Click on the line between 2&3 (they'll move to slots "9&10" on the
right) Then click on the line between 5&6 (they'll move to the now
open 2&3 slot) Then click on the line between 8&9, to move those
to the now open 5&6.  Finally, click on 1&2 to move them to slots
8&9.  Puzzle solved, Library done.

2.  Exit the library and go upstairs.  Using the GameBook's map,
you'll note that Brian Dutton's room is now open.  Go in.  You'll
note that your next clue is "Rolling rock, bottle cap."  Bottle
cap ... and rock is an anagram of "cork."  You need a cork.

On the floor to the left of the old television, there's an
overturned, empty bottle of champagne.  Grab the cork.  This'll
open the Picture Gallery.  There's also a cash register in
Dutton's room, and it's a puzzle.  The idea is to get each half of
the register display to show the same amount.  The amount needed
in each half is 81 cents.  So, if the keys are set up like this:



5    5    1    25   5    5    10   10

5    25   10   25   10   10   1    10

Press the left five keys in the top row, and then the left three
keys in the bottom row.  That's all there is to that one.
Alternately, you can press the entire top row of keys, and then
the leftmost and rightmost keys on the bottom row...that'll work,
too.  There are at least two other solutions, but hey, this a
walkthrough, not a "gimme every possibility in the world" guide...
