No you haven't, yes there is!

I received a binhexed version of the saved game from the person concerned
quite quickly! I'd have to go away to find the relevant email address though.
Perhaps if the person concerned is watching, a copy could be posted to
comp.binaries.mac?

So long as you fiddle around with the bottle enough (it has to be on the
second step visible in the crack) and follow the instructions to the letter,
you cannot go wrong:

1) Position bottle with lid closed (it comes open initially I think)

2)load sling with stone (there are loads here) unless already loaded,

3) OPERATE lit torch on bottle (you should get a message saying the bottle
does not burn)

4) OPERATE sling on bottle.

If you have positioned the bottle correctly, there will be a bang and you can
enter a room with some objects in it

As an aside, do these help with the game at all?

Secondly, there was a rumour of another secret room somewhere. Can anyone
confirm this, and tell me how to get access.
