Hints for The Granite Book

This file contains hints for The Granite Book in question and answer format. Each question has three hints: a light hint, a medium hint and a heavy hint (which generally is the solution). These hints have been formatted white, so that they won't show up against the background unless highlighted. Each hint is on a different page, so if your word processor is in page mode, you can view one at a time. They are in order, so don't go on to a latter hint unless you understand the previous one.
