I know nothing about writing code, but I'd wager that the 100% predictable piece of software has yet to be written.

I'm stuck on The Anticlimax, 3N. Tried lots of tricks, and now my brain is dry. Can someone give me a push in the right direction?

Be merciless. Mimics don't have feelings.

the way I did it



after that it is just a question of placing the rest of the mimics properly



and most important to remember



some mimics will die
you don't need them all to solve this

before I got side tracked what I meant to say here was
I finally finished (sort of still missing 2 rooms on tar revisited 1e can't do the entrance I can't get to until I do 1e)
there are some very nice puzzles in this hold
I loved the ones where you had to not move diagonal and had to keep your sword in 1 position
the goblin and the snakes was brilliant anticlimax 8n1w
I was 2 moves too late 20 times in a row then suddenly figured out how to pick up 4 moves on the way
unfortunately there are also some very long q-w or 5 parts
I don't mind some of that
but when you do the same thing over and over you make a typo sooner or later
these are the places that really need a check point and in your hold they never have one
I almost quit playing it a couple times because of that
grande finale 1e and anticlimax 5n, 7n, 8n are examples of this
