Sorry, I didn’t write it down (which you might want to consider if you’re having trouble). ---

Just click and away you go. ---

**lost4life** has got it. When the transporter is waiting for user input, put the user in it – walk into the transporter. ---

Hey YMwfe, You need to have the piece of paper and the pen from the desk drawer upstairs. In the far right room, turn on the lamp and trace the official signature from the note you found. (The game will help you some here). Take the note and put it in the snail mail box in one of the left hand rooms. Then check the in-box, and you will have a shiny red wheel from maintenance ---

Holy crap, I don’t know my left from my right. The lamp and note are in the far LEFT room, and the snail mail box is in one of the RIGHT rooms. Sheeesh ---

Is this the same game from the link? I get a game called Egyptian Cab something or other. If it is, how in the hell do you get the guy into the cab without squashing him? ---

And just another question, sorry my lack of intelligence is surely going to kill me one day, how does one read the spoilers? All I get on the screen is a black box.
