Here's the problem:

I have 350 points. The ship is sitting on the surface of Magrathea with the
hatch jammed. I have already made tea, opened the door, been all the other
characters, etc. All in all, I have a locked toolbox, virtually every tool
made in the civilized galaxy, and three pieces of fluff (two actually, the
satchel fluff seems to have vanished).

I asked Marvin to open the hatch and he told me to meet him in the access
way with the proper tool. But whatever I bring, he asks for something
different.

I keep wondering if it involves the thing my aunt gave me and its odd
properties of acting as a container and re-appearing in my inventory. Do I
have to close it and, if so, how? Do I need to open the toolbox? Also, from
the above, could I have missed anything?

Obviously, I need a subtle hint (like having my brain smashed with a gold
brick wrapped in a slice of lemon).

Replies my e-mail will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
