Hi Mark, Nice puzzle with great misdirection, It certainly had me doing it all wrong for a bit.
Brilliant move for the cube and boy that chomp was a dickens too.
Great stuff from start to finish, Thanks!

I figured there was only one way to get rid of that ice cube, the trick was setting it up.

Made a few wrong turns making it happen but I got there in the end!

Lots of fun to work out, thanks bud.

Well you guys are no help

I know what I want to do with the cube and the chomper but I just can't figure it out

That was fun!
The ice cube destroying was a little apparent which serves as a giveaway. Otherwise, top notch misdirection would have made it impenetrable as usual!
At the end, I tramped on the sphere accidently -- DUH! Was more careful next time.

I didn't find the ice block manouver quite so apparent. Tried several different things before the right one fell into place. Thanks for the fun challenge Mark, as always!

Looks easy - not so easy at all.
Finally Stinky avoided the chomper and ran home.

Apparent? Oh yeah! Muzo - your brain is almost as devious as Mark's, so it's probably apparent to you.

I got all the coins and I blew up the red sphere, but it didn't blow up the barrel and ice cube.

I'm stuck, the ice cube's stuck, the chomper's stuck and the barrel's stuck.

Liz, You must use BOTH barrels - so keep them portable!

I've gotten two PM's with help and all that is written here and I still can't figure this dang thang out

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:42 pm

Rescuefire: Is the problem in being able to mobilize both barrels or in blowing them up together?

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:46 pm

Hmmmm depends on which way I do it. Can't cover red cuz I want both barrels down by the cube...so I gave up on that. Can't get barrels where I want em

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:48 pm

Well, no need to cover red - chomper will do it later. You need one barrel at the gate, the other just above it next to the ice cube, then BANG!

I'm where Liz is on this one. I got everything, then realized I need both barrels to blow the cube, but can't figure out how to set that one up. Seems like one needs to go in front of cube and other in cyan gate, but I can't keep cyan gate open without sphere.........confused...yes I am. I figured chomp is for red button. I'm somewhere on the right track but lost my ticket.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:52 pm

Thanks Amnon....I'm goin' in

Ok I'm back already. How the heck do you get the barrels in those positions and still get the red sphere off the cyan button to blow the barrel in the gate, cuz ya gotta be standing in the gate to push it

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 2:53 pm

Uneekrose: The first barrel goes down through the gate while the sphere is on the button: DO NOT take the bottom -left coin - then you can maneouvre the barrel onto the cyan button

Video Solution

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:05 pm

Oh thank GOODNESS Mark!!!!!

I totally didn't see that barrel maneuver there. Still took me three tries to get that move down so I didn't squash myself.

As usual Mark this was a real brain bender! Now I'm off to work on a few more.

Thanks everyone for the help

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:03 pm

Thanks so much for the video solution Mark. I was using the ice curve for the barrel on one of my tries but I was convinced the sphere had to smash into the barrels somehow. But it never looked right, the barrels did but not the sphere idea.
Nice piece of bafflement for us. Thank you and thanks again for the video.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:13 pm

Thanks Mark - I fell for the trap of covering the red button with a barrel, so I couldn't finish.

I don't think I could have worked out all those manoeuvres, especially the one with the ice curve/coin.

Wonderful thank you.
