Hi Mark. Dangy! I got the dilemma sorted, Found the solution by accident, Well If I was a surgeon we could call it exploratory surgery

Anyway nice tribute to the Master of the greatest series of levels ever made, Thanks for a fine puzzle Bud.

I loved seeing Liz's name in the water. Very subtle. Found everything I needed and then had to put the parts together right. got out in once piece!

I've tried all sorts of things, but can't "put things together" in the right way.
Please help me

By golly I am blind, That is so cool having Liz's name as part of the landscape, Way to go.

Excellent level for our Lizzie - that was cool with her name

I tried nearly everything! So many times I thought I had it only to be left stranded on the conveyor island

The only thing left to try was the correct thing to try if you know what I mean

Another Markie level under my belt

Loved it - thanks Mark

Hi Theo,
Try something new with something blue!

I know what's in the pyramid

That rules out some of the blue things I have done.
I will keep trying

That's been the missing link for me because I always was one item short for solving this stinker. Thanks for the challenge and the fun

woo hoo mark 2 of your levels done before going out for a meal

i thought i'd done this very easily, i really should have known better, then i thought i'd done it again, and again i should have known better, then i wondered why you'd put a sign on the pyramid so i took a chance and from there it all fell together

Ooo Mark .. I've used up all my playtime on this level ... I just couldn't let it go. Even when I made a discovery I still couldn't get it right.

I sure was gripped ... great sense of achievement to get that gold one.

Many thanks

Very tricky! Your hint got me going so that I discovered something new and very helpful! Finally made it through and collected another gold star!

I am really playing catch-up! I had to go to page 3 to post on this!

Try something new with something blue!

That little tid-bit certainly helped!

Thanks,

Had the hardest time getting home, but then again you know why. Finally found something to do with the "blue" like your clue. Excellent little level and nice tribute to Liz.

After going through the level, and having no way to get into the exit, I had to do "exploratory surgery", too!

That's what I needed to solve this one. Very tricky, you trickster!

Thanks for the fun!

This one seemed to take me forever but I finally got it, I'm just not very good with the spheres, I thought I had it one time and the surprise at the exit got Stinky. I sure like your levels Mark but they sure put a brain strain on me. Thanks for the fun.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:07 pm

Oh Mark! You made a level for me, and I didn't find it until today!

And writing my name with the water tiles was so cool!
What a treat! Thank you my friend.

I'm rather stuck with it though

I tried something new with something blue and got the coin,
but alas, poor Qookie dies when she tries to exit the level.

Any hints please.

Hi Liz,
Your welcome!

You are one of the most talented level-makers on the forum.

First take the bonus coin in the pyramid without touching either clock.
Now push the blue sphere to the left.
Push the lower sphere up and right so it stops at the clocks.
Push the top sphere up onto the conveyor, it will roll onto the button and stop the conveyor.
Collect the clocks, and position the barrel beside the metal box.
Now slide the cannon left to destroy the barrel.
Collect the coin and push the cannon all the way to the right.
Push the lower sphere up so that the other sphere releases the button and starts the conveyor.
The cannon will bounce up and destroy the blockade so you can exit.

So no easy solution then? Surprise, surprise!

That was a fiendishly convoluted puzzle.
So much to do in such a simple-looking layout.

Thank you for making this one for me Mark,
and thanks for telling me how to do it!
