Relevance:
*) armouror
Copy protection, rather weakly integrated.
*) wheel of torture
Game out of nowhere, but it's fun.
*) concentration
Vaguely relevant, it being a fair, but too uncreative to be worth it.
-----
Reasonability:
*) lab machine
Sudden death if you hit the wrong button, and there's no warning.
Furthermore, you must operate the buttons/etc. to get what you need.
-----
Difficulty:
*) stop ferrous wheel
Action at a distance.
*) mead lite and oaf
The connection between the tavern argument and the arguing oaf heads is
reasonable, but still obscure enough to make this difficult. You won't
know why you want to give the mead to the oaf, but it's reasonable to
assume that there will be some interesting effect.
*) getting chamber-pot
Wonderful cascading challenge.
*) enter mouth
Maybe a bit silly, since nobody else will read the book, but virgins are
*supposed* to be innocent.
*) around to it
A really bad pun.
*) iceberg
Good connectivity with the environment: the Lilliputian device gets
multiple use.
-----
Comments:
I thought these challenges were clever:
*) root beer
*) mead lite
*) chamber-pot (marble)
*) around to it
*) hourglass
*) breaking the chandelier chain
