As usual, I don't see it and will feel very dumb once further hints are given. My current problem is that the bottom lemming arrives too fast, sooner than the right one.

EDIT: got it!

Where do I place the mirror and the keg? It is so distressing
to be the only person in the game not to be able to see this.

×The only thing in the room that can kill any lemmings is the powder keg, so it must explode when all three lemmings are within its 3x3 radius. The lemmings move in straight lines, so the explosion must take place at the intersection of the "roads".

×The top lemming is going to move past the intersection long before the other lemmings reach it... unless he's blocked. There's only really one way to block him.

×Place the mirror and the keg in his way, with the mirror north of the keg. But now the problem is that the south lemming is going to hit the keg before the east lemming arrives. How can you prevent that -- bearing in mind that you must maintain the roadblock?

×Push the keg aside and stand, yourself, where the keg was. When the south lemming reaches you, step aside before he kills you, and now the north and south lemmings are blocking each other. If done correctly, this should also give you an insight into how to finish off the solution and kill the lemmings.

Thank you so much. I had tried it all up to step 4. That gave it to me. In the end it was so easy, I don't know why I didn't see it.
