3. Q: Why do you use such strange names or the searches, like "rosak", and "terima kasih"?

Prince of Persia 1 Side Questions:

1. Q: Where did you come up with all these terms? Fatso, Linger, LBP, LEP, etc?
   A: The author made up all terms as the manual did not provide any.
2. Q: Why write a FAQ for such an old game?
   A: The author knows the game inside out and has not seen a walkthrough for it.
3. Q: How old are you again?
   A: This requires mathematics and detective work based on prior copies of the guide.
4. Q: And how long have you been playing Prince Of Persia?
   A: Since the author was 4 years old.
5. Q: Is it true you got past this game without a guide or walkthrough of some kind?
   A: Yes, all knowledge comes from the manual and experience; no walkthroughs were consulted.
6. Q: Why did it take you so long to complete this game?
   A: Credits go to Jordan Mechner for creating unbelievably tough puzzles, such as running off a ledge after blinking stops (Level 12, Act 1).
7. Q: Why do you call your mirror image "Shadow" when everyone else calls him "Mirror Image"?
   A: The author first played the game on a black-and-white laptop, and the gray character was called "Shadow" by the author and their father.
8. Q: What is Prince of Persia 4D?
   A: Prince of Persia 4D (POP4D) is an extremely difficult, illogically modified fan-made version of the original Prince of Persia DOS game, reportedly created in 1994 by a Russian programmer in Moscow. No walkthrough or cheats are known to exist for it.
9. Q: Will you write a FAQ on POP4D?
   A: The author intends to, but gaming sites may not accept it as it's fan-made. If created, it would be posted in the Guide Archives of the Virtual-On Gamers Zone.
10. Q: How did you get such a quick time? (e.g., 26 minutes, averaging 2 minutes per level) And did you use NO cheats whatsoever?
    A: Most of it comes from experience. The author suggests thinking outside the box, forgetting LEPs, taking shortcuts, taking risks, and running from fights. No cheats, trainers, editors, or hacks were used. The quick time was not a primary goal but a check for FAQ errors.

Glitches and Bugs:

1. Glitch 1: Farah dies for no reason.
   Damage: Cannot progress past areas with Farah.
   Remedy: Save, shut down the PS2 for 5 minutes, then turn off the mains. Try again. If it persists, load a previous save file.
2. Glitch 2: Prince falls into the chamber where you have to push the marble block (At the Baths, 33%).
   Damage: Instant death.
   Remedy: Continue from the Game Over screen and avoid approaching the chamber too closely.
3. Glitch 3: Prince walks into a door/gate.
   Damage: Instant Death.
   Remedy: Try again from the Game Over screen.
4. Glitch 4: During the episode "Farah, Come Back!" Farah appears on the ledge with the fountain, standing beside the column.
   Damage: No actions are available; killing her results in losing the game without comment from Prince when the Game Over screen appears.
