So it's best to use at the end of your game say if you're just 1 or 2 spaces from a win and are running out of time. This can help you win without using Flying Time. You should have stats while you're playing showing how many more spots need clearing to win so you can make an informed decision on whether to use tools or scrap the attempt and try again. Thank you, it's good to know about the essential randomness of the eyeglass in HL. It reminds me of the first time I tried to call an anomally. I was non-plussed when it didn't go to the room I wanted...a moment's thought was all I needed to realize of course it's random since there was no way to direct it -- made those much less interesting to me.


 * -) :-)  You're far more dedicated than me to keep stats.  I'm sure they would help me, but they require an investment of time I just don't want to start.
