Why didn't he just run through the and fight them one at a time?
Still, cute comic. Interesting philosophical question. |

Btw, the question we have to answer to get it right... I don't know about others but I tend to miss about 50% of the time and I've bloody ascended more than a dozen times :).
Apart from the "{}[]()" which I always seem to have problems remembering which is which the characters that work differently in lots of countries present a problem (, fountains - generally the set to the right of letters PL on a Finnish Keyboard at least - i.e. stuff like "^~").
Don't know if removing those would be helpful. How do others fare? |

Well considering it's a nightname, I would imagine that he would get:
"The is resisting. The Cockatrices turn you to stone and pwn you."
BTW I'm new here. I"m a nethack newbie, just started playing last night. |

You can use this as an answer key of sorts:

I always play NH with the (IBM) extended ASCII characters on, so there are a lot of things I don't recognize -- fountains for one. If you reload the you usually get a different question. |

The way I keep the weapons and tools straight is to think "weapons go in your right-hand, so it has a right-hand curve. Tools go in your left." Then for fountains vs. , I just remember that fountains are made using tools, so they're left-hand too.

I remember weapons vs. armor by CoMR [oMR, and ) looking somehow more like a and than (... obviously the "which is C" half being more solid, logically, but either way, leaving tools by process of elimination. The weapon/ tie-in is handy, though. |
