This was easy and fun. Now back to the Song of Silence which is hard. Thanks for the fun levels. Annie

Annie, I just sent you some help on "The Song of Silence".

I was a bit worried at first glance but all for nothing it turned out.
Nice moves and yes I just had to read the burning sign.

Thanks for another ace level Mark.

Ditto to everyone else's comments. This was a fun level to work out. May I please have the PM that you sent to Annie, Mark?

Of course the snake has got Stinky trying to read the sign...

The wonder of wonders is that this sign even crashes the editor.

Other than that it was all straight-forward.

Thank you Mark.

Some of your levels are big mega stinkers. Others are much easier, like this one. One thing they have in common: It's always a pleasure to play them! Thanks!

There's no snake, Amnon. The Bible reference was to illustrate that people do the opposite of what they are told.
Now I'm curious if there's anyone who never touched that sign. If you are out there, let me now.
You are certainly one of a kind.

There's no snake here

There should have been one... and Qookie should also take part in this level.

Just to broaden the conscience debate/survey, besides that time that I deliberately stepped on the sign (not including the editor-session later), I twice stepped on it inadvertandly (fortunately my new computer takes only 10 seconds to load the game, compared with a full minute for the old one).

You will need to contact Midnight Synergy for that one.

A convoy of chompers following each other can make up a snake!

You have a good imagination, Amnon.

But as I stated before, the Bible reference was only to illustrate that people do the opposite of what they are told.
It was not my intention to turn Wonderland into the Garden of Eden.

How did you do that?!

What is this sign, huh?

With XVI32.

Really, there is no sign. I was making a point on reverse psychology:
Persuading someone to do something by telling them not to do it.
This explains why the campaign to "Say No to Drugs" isn't working.

I found this a touch easier than your usual levels. Still a fun challenge though.

Thanks Mark!

That's what levelmakers always do with misdirection in their levels, isn't it? To let people think it has to be this way, but in fact it is the opposite.

People are learning by trial and error, and they learn the most from their own mistakes. If Adam shouldn't have eaten from that tree, he shouldn't have known what's evil. Fine, but........he shouldn't have known what's good either.

Yes, and I am guilty as charged.

You have a keen insight into my mental process.

Thank you for sharing, Marinus. A very fitting word for life and Wonderland.

Yup, so fitting for everything, isn't it!

I stepped into the fire to the left, because you told me not to,
then I figured out that it's best to put a metal box there instead.
I made some progress and each time that I advance onto your sign
I get a MAV error. For some reason this won't progress on my computer.
How mysterious.

Noticed the flame on the sign? That you extingiushed? That's the burning sign. Don't step on it.
