Don't give him the suit right away, also look at him and see if he
has anything you might want.

This puzzle is easier than it seems.  Don't be too clever.
It can be solved without anything special.

Don't waste your time with this, you'll find out what it is later.

This is one of the tougher ones, also you need to solve some other puzzles
before you can solve this one.  (You need a special object)

General Hints: Make a map for this one if you haven't already, there are
alot of places to go which are easy to get to (no problems to solve)
but the room description doesn't always say that there is an exit, so
you might walk past an 'interesting' room.  Also remember, it is a 3-D
maze, so try *all* directions. :-)
