There's two reviews on IFDB that comment on the puzzle involving the cigarettes. I've played the game through a few times and examined all 80 packs of cigarettes and I'll be buggered if I can even find the puzzle. Is there really a puzzle or were those reviews just having a go at you?

I've read the advertisements, found the $2.00 in quarters, brute forced the purchase of Claymounts, found and lit the lighter and attempted to light the stove and gas main with the lit lighter (expecting to get blown up), all to no avail. So, where on Earth is this puzzle that the IFDB reviewers are raving over?

The puzzle was specifically "which pack of cigarettes should I buy?" It isn't a "brute force" decision.
The description of the machine explains how each tier goes back one year in time.
The advertisements have copyrights to explain their position in the timeline.
One ad in particular alludes to a "pack-in lighter" but it's partially obscured by another advertisement... which can be peeled back to reveal more of the cigarette history.

This is all just to have a light source for under the sink to operate the disposal. Nothing deeper than that.

Thanks, that's what I thought. But I didn't need a light source to fix the garbage disposal unit. Just follow the instructions on the label.

Well, that's a bug then. It was supposed to be too dark to see anything.

Yes, I didn't want to say anything, but that part of the game is particularly buggy. Would you like me to send you a test report? If so, it will take me a little while to prepare.

That's very kind of you to offer. I only had time to "get it submitted" for the jam, and I do want to spend next month giving it polish and addressing the issues that were raised in the reviews I received. A test report would be excellent, thank you, at your leisure.
