I have found all of the balls and now have made a choice between the nerds and the punks.  I have chosed both teams with our getting any further in the game.

Spoiler
When I choose the nerds I know the batteries are in the shed but I can't get to them.   When I choose the punks they want me to mess up the first hole and I don't even know where to start....

Any help we would be appreciated!

Thanks!

For the nerds:

No, it's NOT a bug. You can only find the change there during the part of the adventure when you need the gum, but not before.  If you search them "before" you need the gum to solve a puzzle, then it won't be there.

Spoiler

How did you search, by "look", "pick up" or "Interact"? You would need to use "Interact" command for that particular puzzle with the 3 coin-return-trays.

If you did use "interact", well ,I'm not able to replicate the problem you mention, so if this is the case, I would suspect that before you actually did find the dime, but perhaps didn't see it in your inventory? As the inventory area only shows 3 items at a time in the viewing area, and newly aquired items go to the "bottom" you may have to click the "down arrow" a few times to insure that you've scrolled to the bottom of the inventory list.Ã, 

Regardless, you say it's working for you now, I can't replicate the problem, and no one else has mentioned the same problem, so I'm not sure it's a bug, but thanks for mentioning anyways.Ã, 

If you still think for sure it's a "bug" and if you still have that save-game file, you could email it to me and I could take a look and see for myself. Thanks.

try to see if your current quarter works with anything else other than the "Drunken Violent Bums" game. A screwdriver is a "tool" right? Where might you find some "tools"?

I assume

you've already "talked" to the Nerds to first Lure them into the Haunted House of Mirrors first? You can only scare the Nerds when you have lured them there first. Once they are there, *blunt hint - Walk towards the Nerds, then - Use the chainsaw on the ghost*
