#1 - how do I convert the heathen master scientist?

#2 - What is that pot by the river for? No matter who I drop on it, I just get "confused" and when I click on it I get "the pot is empty" which makes me think it IS for something.

Bah. Ok I figured out the scientist. I didnt see the ramp and was trying to write on the board next to the heathen, not the big one.

The pot is part of a puzzle, but you have to solve another puzzle to get the second object that goes with the pot.

Thanks guys... so here is a NEW question:

How the devil do I get the third hut?

I have a population of 35, all tech at level 2, only 4 more blue masks to convert, and I'm missing 5 relics. My power is stuck at just shy of 400 and I keep getting told I dont have enough housing to support a larger population, but there is no hut for me to build. Do I need to get construction to level 3 to get the next hut? I wont be able to do the builders challenge until I can get a larger population, because I dont have the right ability yet.

ARGH.

As in the last couple of chapters of VV, the housing huts are tied to tech levels in VV5.
