×I believe the decoy must go on 14.14 to give access to the orb before
or after taking speed.
The problem then is that the snake is killed to soon. I can't get
past this way of thinking A hint to get me on the right track
would be greatly appreciated

×You cannot complete the room from the west entrance

×You can only complete it via the "speed kills" level. This is the case for all rooms in the hub - you must complete the relevant level first

×From which you will have learned that sometimes speed potions are not helpful - i.e. they will kill snakes twice as fast

×Therefore, don't pick up the speed potion until after the snake has cleared the decoy if you want it to survive

×Your response is what I was looking for. I did not know where to begin on the room when I was entering from the west. I had completed the speed level so by following your info I went in and solved the room with ease. Thank you so very much.
