<Dorothy> (SPOILER) Added solution "Another solution":
A longer way, but solved it.

<Tom 7> Interesting. I didn't think I changed anything for the case when there are no traps. My solution stopped verifying, too, so I should check to see what happened.

nLogic's original solution on the server still works, though, so this level is still solvable.
<Max> One of the recent rule changes must have affected something in this level, because this level no longer counts as solved for me; my original solution doesn't work anymore.

<Max> Much more rigid than its predecessors -- unfortunately, I wasn't able to cook this one again ;). A pretty cool, straightforward and easy puzzle.

<Max> Just a possible bug note: when I tried to upload this new version (after deleting v2), it gave me an error -- I think it was "bad lev" 404 or something -- and said it failed. After trying again, it gave me another error saying there was already a level with the exact same title. So I updated levels, and it turns out it had actually uploaded after all.

Oops, this version actually makes John's cook even easier to execute! The next version definitely eradicates this strain of cooks -- fortunately without altering the level very much.

<Milton> I'll try alternate connect, although I think it didn't work when I tried it before. I'm behind a firewall at an office, so it may just be something particular to my situation that I've got to live with.

As far as commenting, it's possible that I was trying to use a version in mylevels to comment that I had already messed around with - turning it into what would become v4. I'll try to pay more attention to this and let you know if it's really anything. It's probably just related to the other thing - since I don't have the files in triage, I have to comment on them in mylevels or else wait for them to show up. No biggie.

Thanks for your help!
<Tom 7> I could see how that might happen, if you are accessing the web through a caching proxy. It might keep an old version of the file that describes the current level collection.

Using 'alternate connect' in preferences might fix it, because often the proxy is only on the web port, 80.

I don't understand the commenting problem, though. What happened when you tried to comment on the deleted v3? Is it possible that you were commenting on a level with the same name but slightly different contents? (when you comment, it uses the exact identity of the file to find which one you're talking about, not the name or anything like that).
<Milton> FYI - right after typing that long explanation of my problem I was able to download recent levels. (~9:45am EST). I hadn't been able to download new levels all yesterday afternoon and this morning until now.

<Milton> Doom - yeah, sadly, these guys forced me into sectioning-off the whole level with those rough patches =)
<Milton> Tom - The only things that seem to be wrong are (1) I cannot download new levels until some amount of time after they've been uploaded. It's weird - sometimes it will be a few hours, sometimes a couple of days. I check the site for comments and I always glance at the most recent levels list to see if I should download any. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. And (2), sometimes escape acts a little weird when I delete levels . . . for example, I can upload comments for deleted "Holey Transporter (v2)" and for the as yet undownloaded v4 (using my "my levels" list), but not for the deleted v3. Weird. It's not that big of a deal because I can always get the new levels eventually and work around the comments issue, but since you asked . . . =)

John totally cooked this level so I'm uploading a revised version.
<Max> John, you totally cooked this level! Damn, nicely done, but I don't know how I missed that. Glad you enjoyed it but you may like this level even more the real way so I'll upload a fix.

More pointless speedrunning (testing something)

<John Lewis> After seeing Brian's solution to the previous version of this level, I've decided to make it even tighter...
