Ok, so obviously I need eventually get the roach on 1 and me on 2. However, essentially all I've been able to do thusfar is get the roach on 3 and me on 4.

If I knew a way to go from

BWR

to
.R.
.W.
.B.
(or some symmetrical equivalent) then it seems I would be fine. But as far I as can tell, no such method exists.

Any suggestions?

Heh. I got stuck on this one for quite a while too, even though I'm sure I've used the same trick in plenty of other DROD rooms.
I won't give away too much, but

Except the roach is on 3, not me... :)

Edit: Okay, fine. :) I managed to get me on 3 and the roach on 4, and from there it was just the same thing twice.

Thanks for your help! :D

Before I posted, I've read twice to make sure you meant you are on 3 when the roach is on 4, and twice I've misread.....

I don't have any idea how to manouver the roach. I can get me at 4 and the roach at three, but have no ideas of what to do next.

Restart. ;)

Try to get it the other way round first, coming from the center and going around the corner tile.

I still have no idea about the actual manouvering. Can I have a diagram or mini-demo of the first move(s), please?
