My wife was playing Kingdom of Loathing earlier today and was trying to figure out one of the side puzzles - specifically, which of the dusty animal bones she needed to finish her familiar.  I whipped up a sloppy Java class to figure that out for her (based on copying the list of bones from her inventory and pasting them in a text file).  This is all pretty sloppy and untested, but I'm posting it here and linking it from the KOL Coldfront wiki discussion page in case it might help anyone else out in completing their familiar.
