No thanks, I have an excellent memory.

Doesn’t help with your original silly claim that SET BREAK
ALONE can be used to find the last point with Adventure.

It can't, you have to examine the code once you work
out where the appropriate code is once you work out
which variables are used to store the points you have
achieved and where the program stores the actions
you have taken like picking up a magazine etc and
then see what other code references those. SET BREAK
ALONE can't do any of that because it doesn’t get
triggered unless the player gets that last point and
by definition that is what you don’t know how to do.
