Please, please, please let me know what you think of this one
I really had fun

I hope you do too
PRODIGIOUS! - One of my favorite move lines of all time.
Extra Credit- What movie was that line from?
First to complete the level and correctly answer the extra credit question gets a free lunch.

All right kids, I have to leave for the day.
Your homework will be to finish this level.
I'll check back in the morning to see how you all have done

Good Morning!
Let's forget about the trivia question...
Free lunch to the first person that acknowledges publicly that they completed the level.
I can't tell if it's so easy everybody's getting it, or if the offer of a free lunch is not enough motivation.
I won't be there with you to eat the free lunch (unless you happen to live in the US, and near a Disc Golf course) so don't worry about that part.
Anyway, I'll be back later to talk to myself some more.

No luck here either, DG, but that's nothing new

Will keep trying.

You are a nutter DG!
I have got as far as starting the boulder machine. What I can't figure out is how Quookie can possibly get out of the boulders way once it comes into her section?
This is a
REAL challenge - not sure if Bear reads this forum much - but, if I were you, I would challenge him to complete this level

Do not fear the boulder. It is your friend.

This is mind-boggling! I have collected all the coins. I haven't managed to start the generator. Loof exited too soon (I think). Further updates to come ...

OK DG,
As requested I did this and I finished it. Took me 5 attempts.
Lots of traps and twists in this.
Scored a super 490. This is a real wee test against the clock.
How can I convince you I got there?, maybe by telling you that I got caught 3rd and 4th go by trying to bring a certain character home too early, (little mini-spoiler there by the way folks). It then clicked what I had done and then it was easy. I'm sure you know what I mean, DG.
Great puzzle. Good luck and well done to everyone that solves this one.
Bear
Little Edit: Isn't that prism really handy?

Way to go OB!
Excellent!!
Now... what do you want for lunch?

OK DG - have been getting further with this one each day!
I can do everything except get Peegue home - he is stuck and I don't know where to place him to get the boxes through the black TP. I am fed up starting over and over
Saying that - do I also have to get 2 boulders in the water by Loof's exit for Stinky to get home that way? If so, I can only get one in so I guess I can't do that bit either
PLEASE help me

So what movie is the line "Prodigious" from? OB didn't say ...
My guess is "Mary Poppins".

If Liz is right DG, does she get half a lunch?
I'm stuck!

It's possible I didn't do it the way DG thought it out, (what a surprise!!), but I didn't use boulders for that. There are a couple of good clues for this is my previous post.

Thanks for your help Bear - but it doesn't really help me with the Peegue situation
Also, I put the prism on the red button

So can't use that again (maybe I can just use Loof to stand on it? No matter what I put down the conveyor near Loof's exit - it doesn't change the direction arrow and just smashs into the exit??????
Might have to give up on this one - save it for a rainy day

I wish I could swear on this forum - because that is exactly what I feel like doing - so I will shout instead -
Aaaaggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
OK - chill Lill
I finally "sussed" out how to get Peegue home (got blocked a couple of times

). Great puzzle there btw DG
I can do EVERYTHING now EXCEPT change the direction on the conveyor by Loof's exit!
Could someone just please tell me in BLACK & WHITE - does Stinky have to exit there too, and how on earth do I change the conveyor - boulders, prisms just keep smashing on the exit!
I thank you
(Will be sending DG the bill for my brain damage therapy!)

What a time for me to be away at workshops.
I am back for the day. I'll read these posts again and offer up some more advice.
It's fun isn't it?
BTW- It wasn't Mary Poppins

Here's how I did it-
SPOILER AHEAD
Peegue gets the coin on the right and and hops through the green teleporter into the teleporter base. Peegue grabs 16 more coins annd clears the path to send five boxes through the black teleporter-
later. After getting the 16 coins Peegue must go back and through the green teleporter and get the upper coin without getting blasted. Then back to the teleporter base a safe distance from the box generator.
Now it's time for Loof to get busy. Sink all of the boulders, break all of the boxes. Put the reflector tower thingy on the red button.
When Loof gets the last coin the gate will drop. This is how you take care of the directional arrow. Beyond the gate that just dropped is the final boulder. Push that boulder and follow it onto the ice. Everything else will resolve itself. Loof is gone. Time for Peegue to get back to work.
Peegue has to get five boxes through the black teleporter. It's a little puzzle that should not present too many problems. You have to pop in and out of telporters and position boxes but it's not too bad.
Once all five boxes are sunk Peegue can just wait on a floating box.
Qookie can now exit stage right. Wait until the boulder is working it's way back throught the tunnel from LEFT TO RIGHT. Then Peegue goes, and Stinky should be able to walk right out.
Hurry up before the boulder comes back
Let me know if more assistance is required

Similar, but not how I did it, (what a surprise).
After doing the boulder bit, I brought Stinky and Loof together and got Loof to stand on the Red button.
Qookie did her bit, but did not head home; I let Peegue exit first; then Qookie.
I sent Stinky home and then used the prism to change the conveyor direction, then Loof was able to escape.
So simple, really Lillie.

DID IT!!!! I didn't need the complete spolier DG - just that end bit with the exit. Hopefully more people will use the spoiler and will try and complete this one because it really is a very clever puzzle!
BRAVO
