<John Lewis> I'm not sure if noname has completed them all yet - Botkoban 3 and Avalanche 2 are still without ratings, and noname has consistently rated levels in the past...either way, I bet he's come closer than anybody else so far!

(Speaking of which: 92 remaining in triage.)

<mm> Hi John, my holy number is 50 and I've been just stuck with that number for months. Whenever I'm finally able to get one of those levels solved, for sure someone will come up with a new evil level I just can't "get rid of"...

I bet noname's got them all done?! Noname, do you???

<John Lewis> Awesome level, Gary!

100 to go in triage...I've been playing major catchup over the past month.

Oops...here it is. :)
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) (note: speedrun of 826 moves didn't break record; not added)
Here's the aforementioned solution, a bit more reminiscent of the original.
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Good gravy!

I was actually wondering if it was possible to solve this without the trap in the top left corner. For those who have been able to solve it: the solution I envisioned for this level was originally a lot longer than noname's speedrun (very clever, btw!), where all the grey blocks and wires would be used in some form or fashion, and there couldn't be any "stuck" wires while building the path to the green button. Getting the dalek to the exit would involve arranging a 3x2 cluster of wires to trap him at the bottom left while traveling to the panel at the top left.

As far as solving this level goes, I was able to find a way to build a wire path to the green button without losing any wires (left, down, left, down, down). Thankfully, since the teleport is useless in this level, it's possible to move one of the wires (the one that would have held down the panel controlling the teleport) all the way to the right side and place it above the hole, then place the block controlling the panel for the hole above the wire. This way, you can grab the heart at the top right, release the dalek, travel safely to the very top without causing the dalek to deviate from its course, then find your way to the panel at the top left. I actually like this solution much better than the intended one - although noname's solution is just incredible!

I guess one of the main purposes of this level was to create something rather tight but ambiguous. I love this variation - it really encourages a lot of outside-the-box thinking. Well done!
