I sell or use pitfalls as letter fodder. I hate the things.
Also, LD, I've done that more than a few times too. I'll run through the back door of the maze and take the elevator up and down a few times before that moment of "Eureka!" hits, and I'm running out the other maze exit. I find it pretty hilarious every single time.
I love replaying games. I often replay them just to go through that one room for the hundredth time, and think "ok, what am I missing?!"
