Hunt the Wumpus
You are playing Hunt the Wumpus.
In this game, the goal is to kill a wumpus from an adjacent room (by shooting an arrow from an adjacent room).
However, there are obstacles that will interfere with the player.
The first of these obstacles is a bottomless pit. There are two of them in the game (each room has a 10% chance of having a pit). Enter a room with a pit and you lose. When you are in a room adjacent to that of a room with a pit, a warning will come up saying "You feel a draft".
The second obstacle is bats. Bats are just like pits, except that bats will randomly take you to any of the 20 rooms (even if the room has a pit or a wumpus) However, I have not included bats in this teaser.
Each room has 3 adjacent rooms.
In Room #7-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 6, Room 17, and Room 8.
In room #1--There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 2, and Room 8
In room # 4-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 6, and Room 14
In room #6-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 7, and Room 16.
In room # 18-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 9, Room 17, and Room 16
In room #16-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 6, Room 17, and Room 18
In room #3-- A wumpus is in one of the adjacent rooms. Exits are Room 4, Room 2, and Room 13.
In room #5-- A wumpus is in one of the adjacent rooms. Exits are Room 4, Room 6, and Room 14.

Hint
Each room that a draft could be felt from has only ONE room with a pit adjacent to that room.Another clue is one of the rooms that I am giving a clue from (in room ??) has a pit in THAT room.
Answer
The pits are in rooms 5 (yes one of the clues was in a pit room, but I, being the teaser creator have the power to fly in my imaginary teaser) and 17 and the wumpus is in room 4.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
