			<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago I have replayed Octopus Mansion (Hard) and found a couple of issues I had already seen the first time around.<br />
(Incidentially a day later there was a new update of Octopus Mansion, but only of the Easy version!)<br />
<br />
I probably have forgotten  some of the issues again, but the most visible ones were those involving the BBBs:<br />
On several of the BBBs in Octopus Hard the mansion is described as <blockquote>Octopus Mansion Easy</blockquote>.  Apparently the author has written the BBBs for the Easy version first, and then he forgot to change / adapt the BBB-texts for the hard version.<br />
<br />
A bit more dramatic was another issue involving Jack falling to his death because a floor in one room is continued with a pair of <blockquote>skull-platforms</blockquote> in the next, which are apparently misaligned so Jack falls.<br />
(I can't remember the room number though; I have to re-check).<br />
<br />
There might have been 1 or 2 others which I can't remember anymore....  (sorry !).<br />
<br />
Apart from these minor quibbles I really liked Octopus's Garden ( <img src="https://actionsoft.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_2" />) just as much as when I played last time !]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I LOVE this hard version of Octopus Mansion! Superb layout! It is so great that you switch a lever here and it affects an area you'll only get to years later! And it really is HARD! Great challenge!<br />
<br />
One thing drives me nuts, though: I can't seem to figure out how to get all the money in rooms 14491 and 14492. The gold/silver-bricks never ever are the way I need them. When I stand beneath the vine in 14492, the silver bricks are off and when the silver bricks are on, I can't get to the vine! What am I missing?<br />
<br />
Please  :'(  HELP!]]></description>

<br />
But the Sudoku puzzle will probably drive me insane. I'm determined to figure it out, though, probably with a little help from my husband. He's a big fan of these puzzles, but I've never attempted them... until now.<br />

Wish me luck!<br />
