  Trivia

boxing- Anyone who can knockout the champ in under 6 rounds gets a big 
cash prize. So Curly will fight. If he hears Pop Goes the Weasel he'll 
knock the champ out cold!. Problem is the guitar's broke. So as Larry 
you must run to the radio shop and back with a radio so Curly will hear 
Pop Goes the Weasel. The only advice is to remember the course and run 
as fast as you can. 

crackers- There's a cracker eating contest: $10  a cracker, $50 a bowl. 
Every time a cracker is ate by an oyster you lose a life. You have 
around 4-6 lives. The way to win is to eat the crackers which are about 
to disappear. You can tell since the oyster has surrounded it.
 
doctors- The Three Stooges are doctors for a day. every tool you pick 
up that is dropped is $5. Every second you are in the OR is $15. The 
way to win is not to hit the patients on the way to OR. This will slow 
you down. Just be quick and you should be fine.

Mousetraps- These are very bad! After around 5 the game is over!

?- This can be either a sack of money, a wasted day, or a deduction.

Banker- So far it's just a wasted day. E-mail me if it's anything else.
 
waiters- You three are serving pies. But you break out into a pie 
fight. $5 bucks for every hit to the other team. To do good duck all 
there pies then they'll be sitting ducks when they are out of pies.

Fighting- As Moe(you) poke, punch, and hit Larry and Curly for half a 
minute. Use combos to confuse them. If you go fast enough you might get 
a bag of money!!!!!!

Safe- Either you owe the banker 1K for Curly's head busting his safe of 
he pays you $500 for returning the safe.

$$$$- you find a bag of money!!!!!!

hand pointing right- I have no clue.( a chance like the ? maybe.)

Trivia- Trivia Q's about the Stooges time for money. Just remember the 
answers.
------------------------------------------------
4.How to get the ending(approximately)
$0-$4999- The banker takes the orphanage
$5000-$8994- The banker is paid.( but the place needs repairs)
$8995-? - The orphanage is repaired! So far the best ending.
