<Karlodinium> (SPOILER) Cook: Press "Y" to show the bizarro/alternative world.

Quintuple File (v3)

<Dave> (SPOILER) hats off radiant, to come up with this by hand must have taken some serious effort! I gave up in the end and resorted to computer. Given that I am not a programmer, that, for me, really is the last resort. Surprisingly, I found the problem space to be a magnitude smaller than I had allowed for.

The 40 speedrun uses the optimal solution for stage 2 if this particular solution for stage 1 is taken as a starting point.

It begs the question 'How many stage 1 solutions are there which could potentially lead to a faster overall run?' The speedrun length is split 17:23. So far the best alternatives I have managed to come up with are 18:31 and 19:28.

Follow the yellow brick road (and teleporter) follow the yell...

<Karlodinium> (SPOILER) Cook: DON'T follow the yellow brick road!

! David's Mad bots

<Karlodinium> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 57 moves (old: 59).
Random movements. I'm sure there's an even quicker way.

Rube Goldberg's Automaton

<Mike> (SPOILER) Cook: I just made a single move south, because it was the only way.

<Dave> Thanks Jim. You are correct, the panel was part of an earlier prototype but it was veering too far from the original, so I ditched the plan but left one panel by mistake.

As it clearly does nothing, it hardly seems worth deleting and reloading the level, unless someone can come up with a bizarrely unlikely cook that uses it.
<Jim> This is definitely an improvement Dave, nice job. Although I wonder if you had another intended improvement with the dot at the bottom which doesn't do anything, just wondering.

<Dave> (SPOILER) Use of the electricity switch is optional, but I don't think getting rid of it makes enough difference to the solvability to justify a mod.

<Dave> Now, this is a really nice level. No brute force required, just logic (plus pen and paper!). Thanks Gary, if your still out there.

<N7DOT 3> Not hard? This is actually quite a challenge for me...

Fry in the Pan

<Dave> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 1712 moves (old: 1773).
That's the first and only time I'll be playing this level.

Spaced Invaders

Tue 10 May 2011 22:25

<Dave> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 200 moves (old: 225).
"WINNER". Finally, cracked this after many failed attempts. Speedrun was incidental. No such thing as an easy RAINKING level.

Blue Block Blasting & Electrical Wiring

<N7DOT 3> Great Run! I'm glad it doesn't HAVE to take a long time, as that degrades the quality of the level...
<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 402 moves (old: 2100).
There we go.

Button Blocker Revisited

Thu 24 Mar 2011 00:53

<radiant> (SPOILER) Finally got around to solving the Ultimate Challenge, in a way that's similar in spirit to how this version came about. And then I had to do it all over again, as the details here demand a slightly different setup. I can only assume wowei is referring to the same thing.

(Naturally, neither solution for me is Ctrl+0-compatible with the other.)

<Dad> What the hell is this? Doesn't work at all!

Pushed into Horror

<Dad> I'm unable to solve this level. Who want to help me? Please send your hints to danielabachmann(at)gmx.net. Thx

Rouge-Like

Mon 21 Mar 2011 16:10

<N7DOT 3> (SPOILER) Yes, I have now solved it. Very clever. It seemed impossible but after solving it, it suddenly felt like it should have been obvious.

Botkoban 2

Sun 20 Mar 2011 18:10

<N7DOT 3> (SPOILER) I'm at noname's stage 2 and I've been able to manipulate the bots but I can't figure out what shape/position I need to have the bots in to get bot #1. Can anyone offer a hint as to where they need to be? Nothing that gives away too much, though. I still want to have to figure it out.
