Okay, so what's the deal with the upper left area?

You'll get a queen stuck in one of the traps no matter how you time their release, and there's nothing you could stick onto the lower queen's force arrow that would block her. :(

np: Yagya - Like The Noise Of Great Waters (Will I Dream During The Process?)

Well... another impossible room ;) The diagonals are indeed not possible without timing *and without another roach/roach queen* blocking the way.

The latter should provide the solution...

*THAT* doesn't go *THERE* - it's unpossible!

(IOW: I dunnit. Still, it's mad. MAD. MAAAD!)

You have to do everything in just the right order - and spawns twice are key.

I know... ;)

The above was just a MAAAD way of proclaiming room beatitude...

Well, I think my thoughts on the room match up with the hints that were given, but I still don't seem to be able to actually do it.

Well, clearly I'm missing something.

The question is by how much, really...

[EDIT: Hmmm...I think I may see a possibility for this. It's eeeeevil, but it just might work.]

I'm having trouble at spot 1 in here.
I can get the bottem set of queens to get stuck, but I can figure out what to do about the top pair. Please tell me where my logic breaks down.

1) You can't bring in any roches into the room with you, because of the air-lock style door.

2) You need to hit the top orb at two ticks away from the top of the clock because there is no way to stop the top queen.

3) The bottem arrow can't be filled by a queen because there is no way to push one of the bottem queens out.

5) You can't get a roach onto the bottem arrow becase there is no way to lure it there.

Thanks for the help.

Nor can you drive them, because then the "roach" gets where you need to be to strike the orb. :?

Alright, I have no clue. Clearing the lower left area is easy. The upper left is killing me.

....I have a vague idea of what that might be, but...not enough to finish, but hey, if you can't say more without spoiling.

I've finished /one/ room on this level without help, so I don't feel like a total imbecile.
