You can't fill the teapot in the pool room (but enabling it is non-trivial) #28

There is some code in WATER-FCN that indicates that you should be able to fill the teapot with SALTY-WATER, but you can't since there isn't actually any water there as far as the game is concerned.

Though the implementation of the salty water is broken and incomplete. For instance, when you fill the bottle with salty water, it first removes the normal water, even though that's probably back in the bucket. And the salty water doesn't work with the bucket.

So this is just another "hey, look what they almost made!" issue, I guess. :-)
