Grim Fandango: Year 2 Puzzle
flip...@my-dejanews.com
hints, but now I'm stuck. So far I've got authorization to get on the ship,
and I need is to get the tools (Sea Bee).
Can anyone help me with the Blue Casket and the poetry - I guess I need access
to the room where Oliva is standing - but I can't figure this one out.
Thanks

Do those three dudes sitting at the table there (the ones that hiss at your
poetry) remind you of anyone?
Someone you might have a letter from?

Also, how do you find out which race on which to
use the betting slip maker?
Thanks for your help.

well, you sound like you are thirsty for knowledge.
:) and if you're not that thirsty, maybe you
have a friend who is that thirsty.

cannot figure out the betting slip.
Where is Lola? Also, what do you have to do to get
strip searched by the metal detector girl?
Nobody

SPOILER:
To get strip-searched, you need to have something metal that you can't put
on the counter. Take a close look at your inventory to see if you have
something that might do the trick.
The betting slip is about the second-to-last thing you do in year 2, and you
have to use numbers that you see or hear about elsewhere in the game. This
is really a tricky, unfair puzzle because you are supposed to enter the day
and race number for a cat race--how on earth are you supposed to make the
leap from that to whatever numbers/days happen to be scattered throughout
Rubacalva? So my hint for when you get to that point is pay attention to
whatever numbers and days you hear.

would use that particular setup. What is the signifigance, especially to
Lola, of that particular race? The fact that there are mentions of the the
specific elements scattered around? That's a little weak. I loved the game,
but I have to agree that this puzzle is just a little too obtuse and doesn't
really make sense in respect to the plot.

Yeah, but how does ANY of that relate to a BETTING TICKET?

hmm...actually its comeing a little clearer. I got the week from the
plaq and the race # from the picture itself. the only thing i dont
like is how you get the day. #1 I do not know what a kitty hat looks
like, and alot of people in this game are wearing funky ass shit so
what people whore in the pic did not make me wonder one bit. #2 kitty
hats are only sold on tuesday but I didnt see any rule about not
bringing them in the next day. and the one that threw me for a loop
kind of. The plaq said the cat was said to be a head in first before
it got killed. in that photo finish I swear that cat is in second
place. I thought i was supposed to expose the truth or some shit.. was
I being to observant? :D

I'm not sure about the importance to Lola, but I don't think that
was the point. The point was that she placed the picture of that
race in the tattoo album, so the obvious assumption is that she
replaced that picture in the photo library with something else...
namely the picture of Olivia and Nick. I didn't think that was
illogical.

The guy at the ticket booth has a bunch of cat race photo finishes. When
you first talk to him, he says he'll give you a photo if you hand over a
betting slip from that race. The photo you are looking for has been
switched with one of the photos on file. Your goal is to figure out the
day, week, and race number of the photo you have, because the blackmail
photo is on file in its place.
