Beethro's Teacher : First Level : 1 North, 1 East (+1)

I will not ask for much.

I have one question, and the answer decides whether or not I burst into tears.

Once you figure out the first part, this is actually the tricky part.

My GOB I hate this hold! The only reason I'm still playing it is because it's canonical!

Thanks for helping me.

×As you probably have guessed, you need to get the roach into the little alcove in the NW, so that the queen can't go in there.

Getting him there too early doesn't work well, because the moves you need to make to get the queen there pull the roach down and into the trap.

I was able to solve this by getting both the queen and the roach into the spiral area on the left. Once you do that, they can easily switch places.

Then, of course, you have to get the roach out...

Josh, with two rooms to go on this level.

Well, I can't get one up and one down. I just wanna cry.

Having written the above, I solved it in two minutes. Go figure.

Well, you know there's only one spot where the queen actually can lay an egg.

It's also pretty clear that you'll never get her close enough to that spot if she stays in the upper area.

×So, you need to find a stable location where you can wait and then send her to the spawning ground.

×Big spoiler ahead...

Put the queen at (1) while you wait at (2). After that, it's just timing.

×The correct tile to spawn a roach on is, of course, the very tile the queen starts out on, so you need to get her on one of the door tiles surrounding it when she spawns.

Thank you for answering so quickly. I thought I needed to get her to spawn on the tiles you mention, but cannot figure out how!!!!!

×When the clock was on turn 18 (i.e. 12 turns left until the spawn) I stepped S, SE and ran east; that made the queen be on the door tile below her starting place on the last turn before the spawn and had her move to west of that tile on the spawn turn, which made her lay an egg on the free tile in the middle of the doors.

np: Prefuse 73 - Storm Returns [With Tommy Guerrero] (Advanced Listening Opportunity)

Try as I might, I could not see that path. Mission is now accomplished and thanks to you, I am once again back in the game.

I cannot see any of the images above. How do I make it so that I can see the images instead of getting the "Not Available" message? I am logged in.
