Aaand, probably gonna be the last to finsh

Those Swedish people

don't know how to clean their gardens

Off course I could get all coins but the last. You knew that, didn't you Mark?

Anyway, it's late now, so I'm gonna go to bed.

Of course you still can change the title into: The garden of Norway

I guess it's between the Swedish and Norsk about the same as between the Belgians and the Dutch?

Ok sorry for being Off-topic; Of to download this one

Got er done, Hehe!

I am continually amazed how awesome your misdirection is Mark.

I wont say more as not to give anything away but I will say this...you are one crafty dude.

Brilliant level, thanks!

In the beginning there was Stinky and in the end only he prevailed - there is none like him. Thank you Mark.

Hi Marinus,
The title was meant to be a play on words: The Garden of Eden/Sweden.
Eden is the garden of both good & evil, whereas Sweden is neutral.

So when Stinky exits the garden, he chooses neither the Tree of Life on the left or the Tree of the Knowledge of good & evil on the right.
He remains neutral and travels straight ahead.

P.S. The red sphere is symbolic of the forbidden fruit.

Clever Mark, Its not when you eat it...But how you eat it!

How does he do that? I always had to choose whether to exit from the left or from the right, but could not find a way to exit through the middle.

EDIT: found the way - those who are humble and not tempted by gold can walk straight through the middle!

At the exit, Stinky can not access either tree, he can only go north. Remember the Garden of Sweden is neutral.

Thanks for the explanation (but actually I heard that Eden-story way too often

) and also thanks for the level Mark. Finally one of your levels I can do on my own. Great misdirection! Thanks for the fun!

Cos I made the gold, and I cannot believe it!! Yay

Thanks for an easy-peasy puzzle to slowly return me to a Wonderlandful mood. What fun!

At first I was trying to set that box up to block the sphere, but then I noticed a particularly fishy detail about the bonus coins, and from there it just snapped in place.

Thank you!

Mark, I DID it!!

This might be my greatest accomplishment this year!

I figured it out piece by piece and it was a long thinking process (and I'm not very good with those).

I'm so proud of myself!

You really are a tricky one!

Fantastic puzzle!

Thanks for the FUN!

Thanks, Mark. I think I've figured out how to do your puzzles. Bring on the next one!

I had the rainbow coins figured out but those bonus coins had me stumped until the light came on.

Fun puzzle Mark, thanks!

I only had to watch the first move to get started. I had the sphere right, I knew I had to tramp off of it but wasn't sure how to get it in position. I was doing something completely different with the box in that area. Great level mark.

Thanks so much for the video.
