You're right, I had.  The very next game I was in after posting this poll
I died from tainted meat.

N.B.: You don't need the potion to obtain see-invisible, you only need
it for effect #2.

I didn't think those were dumb questions.  I was already aware that having
money added to your score when the game was over (1 point per gold piece).  I
was just wondering if you had to have it on you, or if just finding it gave
you credit too (a'la Adventure).  As for the unicorn, I have never attacked
one or mollested one in any way (other than to throw gems).  For all I know
there might be other powers to unicorns.


Some new questions:

What makes you hungry?  I know that there is a ring of hunger and I think
that other rings make you hungry too.  I also think that teleporting makes
you hungry.  Do all rings make you hungry or only some rings or only cursed
rings or only rings of hunger?  Does all teleportation make you hungry or
do you get a free ride from teleport traps and scrolls?  I have also heard
that eating L/N/t gives you teleportation that doesn't use food.
