> Ergh, thanks... What was the "select an option" thing all about? Does it assume that I have the tenth coin? And while we're at it, what do I do now? I've gotten through the gate, but can't get past the bog. What's this I hear about a giraffe?

The "select an option" was just fun stuff. You'll find the giraffe eventually. I can't remember how you get the item you need to cross the bog -- it's just yet another case of "go and walk around the whole freaking world again until you find a new thing to get."
