Deathmaze 5000 Hints

I took the decoded "official hints" list from Magic Chris' ASYLUM Page and copied them here. These originally came on a printed page, with the answers encrypted with a letter-substitution code so you could limit yourself to reading only the hints you needed. I'm using a more modern approach here.

If this isn't sufficient, a full walkthrough is also available.

Deathmaze requires you to find torches and food to stay alive. Give these priority. Pits can get you to the next level if you jump into them, but you may not be able to return to the original level. Some objects can be used more than once. Events are often order-dependent. Something that doesn't work on the first level may work later on the fourth level, or after you have performed some other action.
