I'm replaying MI2 having played LotSN & MI:SE and I'm stuck. Don't want to look at a walkthrough because I'll see too much - would any of you kind souls give me a hint or two?

Problem 1:
I can't get better than 2nd place on the spitting comp. Have switched the flags, drunk the green drink and used several combinations of gurgling.

Problem 2:
Elaine's map piece flew up the tree and I can't get it because my paddle broke.

Problem 3:
Not sure how you know which books to get from the library. I have the one about shipwrecks and the one about Big Whoop...

Problem 4:
There's a monkey playing the piano and I think I need him?

Also I am stuck on everything else also.

Thanks for any help. In return I give you my UNDYING GRATITUDE. :)

    1.
    To borrow a quote, "use the force" or something similar

    2.
    You'd better get that paddle fixed then. Know anyone who works with wood?

    3.
    There's no harm in getting any book you think might be useful, pirate stuff mostly though.

    4.
    It's an adventure game, try to take anything that not tied down. If you don't know how, then think what a monkey would like.

    Some hints? sure thing :)

    #1
    You have everything you need, but the spit gob may need a little "push" (of a sort) to go farther.

    #2
    Well, you are never going to be able to replace the paddle, but...

    #3
    You will only need two SPECIFIC books (and remember that he can only remember 3 titles at a time. ;) )

    #4
    Isn't everything usefull? The monkey would be more entertaining if it learned to play in tune with that metromone... you really should draw its attention to it.

    EDIT: damn, beaten to the punch lol XD

    Regarding #4
    Are you an American? Serious and pertinent question.

    This cracked me up. Wonderfully phrased.

    Thanks guys - these have given me something to think about. :)

    PariahKing: nope, British. But I think I know where you're going with that from a conversation on another thread about
    monkeys

    Regarding Problem 1; here are some incredibly obvious hints -

    Hint 1:
    Something in the background might be useful.

    Hint 2:
    The flags might be useful in more ways than just moving them.

    Hint 3:
    It's almost as windy here as it is on Flotsam Island.

    Hint 4:
    You need some extra help to get that spit where it needs to go. If only spit could fly.
