Well, you're right, I *am* grinning.  On one of the walls you see a sign
that says "TURN BACK".  Think of all the different ways you can do that.
You can turn around and go the way you came, you can walk backwards, (looking
over your shoulder occasionally), or you go back the way you came, walking
backwards -- in addition to walking normally.

If it will help you, do the Hansel & Gretel bit again, and drop things at
every corner.  The next time you round a corner, you will see that they've
disappeared -- no they haven't, you've only been transported to another room.
The "see through walls" spell might help you figure things out.

This is a very frustrating part of the dungeon, and I never did figure it
out completely.  I was glad to get through it, and only used the skeleton-
key stairs from then on.
