Four people sent me the correct description of the way to access the Hidden Part in Hugi 18. As chats on IRC have shown, a lot more readers have found the Hidden Part, but being listed here seems not to be much of an incentive to start up one's mail program and write how one got there. Well, it's pretty trivial stuff anyway. :)
You simply had to enter the Music Corner and click the headline "Music Corner" to get to the Hidden Part in Hugi 18, with a pic dedicated to Makke and a tune by Ciccilleju.

This was tough! After having the votes counted, I stared at the results, asking myself if my counting program had any bug in it... But it proved to be true: We have three winners! So all the three of them have been used in this issue's file_id.diz, thus making it a bit larger than usual - but it's still the correct format for most BBS systems. Congrats to Kokki, mad/os and Slash!

And here we have one winner: Slash. Congratulations! Mad/os also placed rather highly here, sharing his place with one of the five very creative designs by Digi.

To the sizes of the following entries, penalties of 2, 2, 1 and 2 bytes respectively have been added because they did not consider some particular rules:
Chris Dragan: uses les dx,[bx] to set es=0A000
Valdor: uses les di,[bx] to set es=0A000
(The general rules say that this value is not to assume.)
Chaos: can't handle moves counts above 32767
GreenGhost: fails to ignore keys with ascii code 0
The actual sizes are included in brackets.
On the day of the release of this Hugi issue, the Hugi Size Coding Competition 11 (topic: Maze Pathfinder) is still going on. You can find the current pre-results and, as soon as the compo is over, the final results as well as the sourcepack at the Hugi Compo Website.
