Hi all,
I finally had time to make a level
Please don't use Alt-X on this one, it will ruin the point of the level

.
Enjoy

"There are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand Binary and those who don't"
I got this one first time. I'd have been so

if I had got it wrong.
Nice little level, Mette.

That's a neat quote Bear.

The zbot got me too the first time around and I had a hard time seeing around all the trees. Where is Ol'Gramma's chainsaw?

Finally made it through for the gold. Thanks for all the fun!

Excellent concept.
Quote Gen:

I think, Chainsaw! Good idea.
Then I think..wait. No trees, purpose of puzzle spoiled.
Thank you for good fun.

Did I miss something? I didn't need any of this binary stuff but ran to the exit without using any of those boulders.
Thanks for another gold star

I really wanted to say that I understood binary too............guess what...this is me ..and no, sadly I don't.

It hasn't stopped me trying though...

Thank you mette.

I'm glad you al liked it, thanks

Lutz, you must have very fast fingers

. I don't think I'm able to do it that way
Here's some major help for the binary challenged:
spoiler wrote:
Binary numbers consists only of the digits 0 and 1.
Decimal numbers on the left, binary numbers on the right:
1 = 1
2 = 10
4 = 100
8 = 1000
16 = 10000
32 = 100000
The code for the lock is 1 + 5 x 8 = 41
The task is now to figure out how to write 41 as a sum using only the decimal numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
41 = 32 + 8 + 1
Look at the list above:
32 = 100000 , 8 = 1000, 1 = 1 so
41 = 100000 + 1000 + 1 = 101001
You need to roll the 1st, 3rd and last boulder ("reading" from left to right) immidiately after you press the white button.
Class dismissed

No fast fingers needed, Mette.
Here's some
minor help for the binary challenged.

Your way is more fun though.

I knew that's the way Lutzy must have done it. I forgot to test if it was possible

but it is (even for me

). I too find my way more fun

And Mette - it depends if people know their maths rules. Multiply first then add, otherwise you get 48 for the answer, which doesn't work!

I know Liz. That was on purpose
I couldn't help myself being a mathematician and all

Got to be honest here, I also did it Lutzy's way.
Good fun Mrs. MacNutter junior.

Well - the only thing I know about Binary is that I don't understand it
So - had to decide on another way of doing it.
Took a few trial runs, but I managed to persuade the blue guy to go swimming,
and then it was all over bar the shouting
Thanks Mette - great fun, even if I didn't learn anything - but I did read it.

Im one of the ones, or tens or what ever that joke thingy was ( it went straight over my head ) who dont know diddly squat about binary.
Id never have got this in a million years with out the answer being shoved in my face with neon signs around it
