Right, I can see from highscores that a few people have cleared this room, but I am having problems with it.

Does the first spawned roach have to be trapped inside the door-box? If it's not, it gets stuck on the force arrows at the top when I go to kill the four roaches blocked in by the force arrows, and it remains there taunting me. If the first roach does need to be trapped, I just can't get to the orb in time to trap it. Help me please!

I'm having trouble with this one as well, but with the second spawned roach. I'm not efficent enough to stop the second spawned roach ending up on the force arrows. Any tips on efficiency here would be welcome.

And while I am here, since the H&S forum won't let me see secret rooms, and hence make a post about them,

×Who says the second roach can't be on a force arrow?

Thanks! If there was an olympic sport for missing the obvious, I'd be head coach.

×The only piece of tar that can enter the central area is the first bit, so you need to get past it without destroying it all

I'd figured that much out. What I can't figure out is how to let the tar grow - maybe involving some offspring? - so I can cut it safely.

Still stuck on 5N1W. How can I leave a piece of tar behind so it'll grow into the centre section?

I still can't see this. So where have I gone wrong? I don't think it's efficiency, because I can't see anywhere to save enough moves, so there must be a trick or technique I haven't managed to puzzle out.

Never mind. I worked out , and solved the room, reaching fourth place!

I can't get the first spawned roach into the box, am 2 moves short. Have attached a demo, could someone please give me a clue as to where I can save a couple of moves, I am guessing it has something to do with the line of roaches I have to kill before going into the room with the orb.

Thanks
Judi

Don't worry, I got it as soon as I posted, spooky how often that works.
