  once you get the right formation it's easy but,make sure you mind every move.

  Oh, wow! Well, congrats on that! I thought it was noname that rated it because he said he solved it (by computer). Very impressive.

  Actually, I bet someone could solve #3 by trying a lot and getting a little lucky, since the solution is pretty short. Seeing what is involved for #2 makes me think that nobody could solve it by hand...

Kacper: I probably won't make any more Botkoban levels; they were just so that I could have something to write a program for. I was specifically trying to create levels that were too hard for humans to solve by hand.

  Hey, it's a cool level and a harder one too! I had dozens of unseccussful tries solving. Leading 5 bots in position is definetely harder then "only" 3 in Tom's botkoban #1.

in meantime i believe, #3 is the strongest and solvable only with computer-assistance, while #2 is very, very hard but has the most beautyful gameplay after you found out, how to bring the bots in order for each of several stages.

A really good Level, Kacper! (Even if it might possibly be built with random and a little luck, i'm only guessing) - But hey, Tom had been _cheating_ with some program _instead_ ;) :D =)

Nevertheless, Tom's were great and this one's cool!

Tom7,
All I could do was write what it is in the prenthases in the author.Hope it's hard enough :)
By the way,when will Botkoban 5 come out?Hope I will win that one.I only won Botkoban 1.
It's surprizing though how hard Botkoban 3 is even though there is very little to move.I like them.

Sincerely,
Kacper Leszczynski
