I have a minor tweak for the solution of Monkey Island 2.

 When Guybush is on Booty island, trying to win a prize by spitting as
 far as possible.
 In your solution, you say, that we have to keep on trying so the spit
 will reach the far end. There is no need to keep on trying. One has
 to observe one of the spectators watching Guybrush. He has a red
 hankerchief, which will move when the wind happens to blow. It is when
 this red hankerchief moves that Guybrush has to spit
