Well again I'm stumped by Larrys simple yet impossible looking puzzles....

The proble is the pressure plate at 18,23. No matter from which direction I lead the roach to it, it can not reach from there to the exit plate without expiring on a hot plate.

Whats the lynchpin I'm missing here ?

These are ingenious. I couldn't get the second pressure plate (until 10 seconds ago ). Each puzzle has impressed me and truly made me change my thinking!

I have to second your opinion , I only got this room now, after a lot of head scraching and once East, The other two seems obviously impossible though I guess its really hard for me to get out of the box ....

×Well, the right side is impossible. So you'll have to have the roach come in the left side, but you don't want to stand around waiting for it once it's in the passage.

{sigh} I can't even get the roach over to that side . . . the best route (as shown in the attached demo) leaves me one move short. What trickery here am I not seeing?

Thanks -
