Use wand of digging, from Minotaur, to break apart immovable rocks on
the maze level.  (Push rocks that can be moved). Under one of these
rocks will be a wand of wishing.  You can use this if your luck is
high enough (go throw some gems at a Unicorn if not, good way to catch
up with a unicorn is to drink a potion of speed), to wish for whatever
you don't have.  (i.e. ring of teleport control).  It's also useful to
get a potion/wand of levitation, to get over the moat to the
hellhound and the Wizard.

Any other questions?  I "broke" hack at work last summer, when someone
made it so a) all items are known and b) after eating a dead giant
rat, you go to 31st level.  Yes, it was cheating, but yes, it was FUN.
