Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness

I guess I am not cut out to be a food server in Iceland. I cannot for the life of me make out the logic in how to arrange the food orders. I can get to all but the fifth order and then nothing seems to work. All tips and pointers are welcome. I have checked the walkthrough, but everything is so randomized in the game that I can't seem to apply it to my game. Any help is much appreciated.

You will be pleased to know that arranging the food on the trays in Sea of Darkness is entirely optional and just a way to make money. I made money in the game by taking the Icelandic vocabulary quizzes and that got me through the entire game. You don't need to do the food arranging at all in order to finish the game.

I am very pleased, in fact I resorted to that very tactic in my frustration. I'm very glad to know that I don't have to do it! Thanks, Marian!

Have fun with the game.

I didn't know that, Marian. So thanks very much for the info !!
