While creating some rooms, I stumbled across some funny rooms. They could be called somewhat like "borderline solvable".
What I mean by that will become clear when playing the rooms, so I will try not to spoil anything.

This hold answers the question:

Hehe... I think you will be pleased to know that the first unsolvable room actually is solvable

×placing an arrow pointing west on the appropriate trapdoor? Off course you do this in the mirror room as well

Indeed interesting - I should've guessed it was placement (and therefore movement) order that did it

Haven't seen this hold yet, but I can tell you that there's at least one other hold on this board that does this trick.

I can't tell you which one it is, as the architect has asked not to tell.

Will try it out later

I wanted to include as many tricks as possible. Other tricks are possible:

1. Movement order -> good
2. Different Orb behaviour -> feels cheated
3. scripting -> feels cheated as well

I tried to do something about mud and tar, but they have a fixed breeding order.

Oh, and there is the trick from the fools errand (one of my all-time-favorites), but that doesn't really count here as well.
