 Indeed. The source code example that Mike Roberts provided when he
implemented the restore detection code (ie: the ability for TADS games to
know when a game restore has just occurred) uses the example of a circus
barker who re-randomizes some shells or something upon a restore, thereby
preventing players from using save 'n' restore to guess the puzzle.
