Thank you for clearing up the significance of the spoon for us Brits.
Incidentally, what's wrong with F3? I've never seen a spoon in any
levels that need you to suicide the black marble (or indeed at all). I
think it would be better for the tutorial to teach people about F3.

Also on the subject of F3, the level #54: "Jump and Run" has a spring
that I can never get. The level encourages you in a note, to use F3, but
this resets the whole level, rather than merely costing you a life (is
this a bug?)

A spring would be really useful to get across the chasm - a goal which
requires expert timing, and becomes difficult to impossible without the
spring.
