    Dear Maze Contestant:

We would like to inform you that the Maze Contest has been extended one
last time to September 1, 1987. Since no correct answers to all three
questions were submitted, you may still enter! To help you out, a second
clue(s) has been made available below:

    Each of the additional clues below applies to one word of the riddle
to be found
    in room #45 of MAZE:

    1.) I'll tip my hat if the two of you can solve this.

    2.)You can get into these two shoes only if you don't go anywhere.

    3.)You will find two names on the table, and they go together like
doughnut and hole.

    4.) You must choose between two pictures.

    5.) There are no two ways you can read this sign.

    6.)You can see that another two pictures demonstrate their own kind
of symmetry.

Remember, according to the official rules, only entries received between
March 2, 1987 and September 1, 1987 will now be eligible to win. So,
study the clue and submit your winning solutions before September 1,
1987 to: MAZE CONTEST, P.O. Box 542, Lowell, IN 46399.

    Enter as often as you wish but each entry must be mailed in a
separate envelope, and must be
    accompanied by the 50 cent processing fee. (All official rules still
apply.)

    Good luck!
