  To become a famous philosopher conjugation is an unnecessary skill. (Confuzius too). Typically there are a lot of wise guys, who are quoting a wise man. :-D

I hope you two are haveing fun conjugating my nick, but pay attention to pronounce it right! :-p ;)

  I think Confucius once said: If it can be woweied, it can usually be unwoweied. Unwoweiing is fun but conjugation is difficult.

  thanks Dave, i'd be glad to doom (your) speedrun(s) in future ;). - Nah, i really think, i's lucky only and it probably is not optimla and may not last for long.
But what I'm really glad about is, that i was able to solve it at all. it's a wonderfull puzzle.

  Oh, the inevitability of it all! My ever-doomed little speedrun has been totally woweied. Very nice job.

  Nay, Your Highness, I'd never dare to blame Your Majesty on inventing or creating traps - NEVER! (... only placing them there ... ;)

It seems to me that this version of the puzzle is the slickest one so far. Apparently it makes use of all of the elements included. I didn't solve it yet, but at least I have an idea of what is to be done in which order. only i need to prepare and coordinate things a bit more carefully.

great puzzle!

  Dearest Wowei! Please don't blame me. I did neither invent nor create that trap.

  Hey, that's not nice. Looks wonderful but it really is not nice at all to put the trapdoor there! I mean, I haven't solved it yet. ;)

I like Dave's concept also, and the 7-bots levels are great too.

  :-) Thanks! You seem to be right, a six bot level might be redundant at this state of exploration. But I truely hope that you will create more of your wonderfully tough levels! If ever you might need my cooperation again, I'll be there. ;-)

  Hi Kirima. I agree, the six bot levels were both good but this level forces you to use the solutions to both of them at the same time which renders them pretty redundant. A new six bot version would have to force a markedly different challenge. You did too good a job!

  Thany you Dave! But somehow it is a pity that now we don't have a 6 bots level anymore because I think we would need or just like such a 6 bots level! Less than 5 bots seems to be an illusion without destroying the entire (really great!) concept, IMO.

  That's tricky, Kirima. I have deleted 6B7Bv2 as you have totally cooked it by coming up with this version. But that's cooking the hard way :-)
