Thanks. Some of the language was impoved during beta testing,
though, so those people deserve their credits.

Your English has always been good, even on the NG.

Blame subtitling for that. :) In Sweden foreign movies are not
dubbed, we only get subtitles. This is a good thing. It also gives us
a lot of exposure to the Engish language when watching British or
American TV or movies.

So thats how you got good -Going to the movies a lot. It has a dual
purpose, see the movie and memorize the subtitles. Yes, that would be a
good thing if you use English a lot but the movie was in Swedish.

Read down so I can tell you where I'm at now and where I am
stuck.

For anyone planning on playing the game. Do not read any
further.

SPOILER SPACE











I can't figure out where that figure came from.

It's a math puzzle. (Replace each letter in "OPEN+NOW=MAGIC" with
a number, and the "MAGIC" number is the solution.)

Yes, I thought this, but I wanted to know how or where did you get
those numbers.

If you really want to know, here it is:

The clue was "OPEN + NOW = MAGIC"

Replace each letter with a single-digit number in a way so that the
addition works. There is only one correct solution.

9863 + 394 = 10257

Yes, the 9863 equals OPEN, and 394 equals NOW, but that doesn't explain
where the 9863 and the 394 came from.

I'm aware that it might be difficult and that some people hates that
kind of thing, but that's why Gurra gives the answer if you ask him.

I don't even understand where the numbers come from enough to say I hate
that kind of thing.
But if its to do with some mathematic formula, I wouldn't have a clue,
and neither would a lot of people I know.
