No surprises, no danger -- hopefully doesn't mean no fun.

Hi sfseaman,

Yep, I had fun with this level

Mind you I never used 2 of the boulders at all

- was this correct or just a 'lucky' solution on my part

Thanks,

Malcdelsol

Hmm -- never used two. I had a feeling this level was getting away from me. Trying to think up and use too many tricky ideas that I began to get a strong feeling that I couldn't keep all the possibilities and alternatives straight.

I like boulder puzzles too, and appreciate that there sometimes are alternative solutions.

CAUTION PARTIAL SOLUTION FOLLOWS

Anyway, what I was thinking is if you number the four boulders at the beginning 1 - 4, after you clear the coin at the blue button and push the wood block right into the water, then push #2 down, when it stops, push it down again, then right, under the yellow button. Clear the coin on the ice where the boulder stopped. Push #1 right, then down along the same path as #2. It will go around, push 4 down to the yellow button and stop in position to go right, over the blue button. # 3 goes right, to the green button.

As I just messed around with it, I can see there are a lot of other possibilities. Like I said, this one just got away from me, had a mind of its own.

I didn't need all the boulders either, and I also ended up with an invisible box after I pushed one in the water

Me too (invisible box) any idea where it's coming from?

They usually appear (or not) when there's water quite near the edge, and no wall. They always start off parallel to where you push a box in to the water. They're very useful sometimes, but sometimes they just get in your way.

Good level Steve, I had two boulders left over too.

Everybody has their own way of doing things, that's what makes it interesting.

If you want to know more about invisible boxes etc; try majic1's Weird Wonderland and Funny Water.

You will find as many glitches, a lot of them used to their advantage.

Hope this helps.

Keep doing whatever your doing, it's working.

Does that make sense?

Enjoy yourself, that's what it's all about.

I used boulders in the water.I was also killed by an invisiable boulder.

Once you fill the hole with one boulder step along the far left side it starts to roll.If you are in the path vertical to the yellow button while its rolling you will be killed.

I didn't know if you ment for the glitches to be there but nevertheless they are fun to play with.

I know I didn't use the boulders as intended.

Yikes! As I said, I lost control of this one, but I had no idea. Invisible boulders? I'd love to tel you it was all planned but. . .

Don't worry Steve,

That's how it was discovered in the first place!

Makes it more interesting. Spooky? WHOOOOOOOOOO!

I really liked this one, seaman. I think I solved it the way you intended except I used one of the boxes to hold down the pink (I think) button. Anyway, I love to see how everyone arrives at the same solution using different routes. Lots of fun.

Thanks.
