I am having no luck with these. I've been through a lot of the game... I'm pretty sure I started all the quests unless one was really hidden, and the only ones I have left are getting my bag, the kung fu fight, the reagents, and the physics lab.

1. The nitrochalk I'm actually going somewhere with: I know what it is, where it is, what I need to use to get it, and how to improve my aim. The only problem is that I can't do it for fear of getting caught.

2. I've learned what menthanoic acid is, but it isn't helping me acquire it at all.

3. Gold is way out of my reach. All I know is that the two clues from talking to people is the painting of the gold throne, and that a tall boy has a gold tooth.
