== Trivia ==
Bill has an online shop called [https://www.shapeways.com/shops/yorkhouse Yorkhouse Puzzles and Surprises] where he designs and sells mechanical puzzles. The logo bears an obvious resemblance to the castles in the [CC1] levels [[Yorkhouse]] and [[Castle Moat]].
According to [[Joshua Bone]], there is a word-of-mouth story from [[Chuck Sommerville]] about the level [[Castle Moat]]. Bill Darrah reportedly designed the level, and then Chuck inserted the now-famous flippers without telling him.
