  Just wondering, exactly which bottle is to be used?  Is it the bottle found
in the globe?  I tried it to no avail.  If it is that bottle, then I merely
must not be putting it the precise spot.  Anyway, I don't think any extra items
are crucial to solving the game, since most people solved the game
without them.
