Ok, so I almost get it (I think).

Here is what I am assuming:

1) I cannot hit the orb more than 5 times (obviously). This would be to open, close, open, close and open the roach doors.

2) The first two times I open the roach doors, I cannot let more than 6 roaches out of each side (for a total of 12 from each side) lest I face certain doom.

3) This leaves 28 - 12 = 16 roaches on each side. From here, the best I can do is:

Me on 1. Roaches on 2, 3, and 4 (or the symmetrical equivalent).

So it would seem either 2 or 3 above are wrong, but it sure doesn't seem like it!

Any suggestions?

Assumption number 2 is wrong.

It might help if before you open the doors the 2nd and 3rd times:

Actually, But since I haven't solved this room yet myself, I don't know if that's relevant.

Edit: Apparently not.

Thanks for your help everyone, I just got it!

I figured at one point that I might be able to get 13 the 2nd time, and tried for a bit, but was never able to do it. Then as soon as I was told that was the idea, I got it almost right away...!
