> If by the first you mean chasing him into the center of the room, where you lose sight of him, then you're on the right track there. After he temporarily escapes, you need to hurry over to where he'll come out. It's a place further south into the room from where you spend most of your time.

Heya, Gremlin

Well I managed to chase him till I could not hear it or see it anymore, but then after walking all over the room (including the passage to east that I have cleared), I arrived at the place in front of the door (the only place in the room where the game allows us to set the trap) and - wouldn't you know - the rat stole the cheese again :(
I am feeling deeply frustrated :( What in heavens am I doing wrong? I walked all over the room and the only differece (only place where the game allows the trap) is near the front door :( HELP!

This is the last thing I have to do the game - besides going with V & S in the bus. I am nearly insane with that rat :(
