Cuts your reading from 320+ posts to about 15.

I suspect that many who have not yet read the 1000+ posts on the multiple Game Hints threads would appreciate it if those with more experience on this subject would kindly guide the late comers to a good summarization post or posts (or a search key), instead of just simply telling people to burn an hour to figure out where the needle in the haystack is located.
