Castle Adventure Hints
Answers to questions are
printed in white-on-white; select them to reveal their content.
Even reading the questions to these hints may reveal some
spoilers. Consequently, some of the questions (and even one of
the headings) have words that are white-on-white, too. The
questions have been designed so that, if you are stuck, you can look at
the next question (and answer) without also seeing later questions and
thereby receiving more clues than you need at that point.
