I had the same reaction, but it's not a joke :)

Uh...sorry, what? I...think that's correct, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Just to clarify:
You drop the green door and leave the room without moving any of the mirrors?

I find that very difficult to believe.

Please give a hint (PM me if you don't want to post it)

Does it require some sort of scripting to complete?

Obviously you can kill the roach and leave, but it's 100% impossible to kill the brain as well.

????

If you are not allowed to move any mirror (I assume destroying is allowed), the only thing you can do is to hit the orb.

Then the roach will step on (20, 12) and that's it.

Really seems impossible...

First of all here's a link to display the room (I'm at my
non-DROD computer right now) in case you're trying to do this challenge in your head.

The simple training room 2S1W

I'm stumped: Mike, can you think of any sort of indirect hint?

Edit: I did discover that I can make it to the door in time
to hang out on top of it, and wave to Mr. Roach .... any use?

Now this is a challenge. All my assumptions seem flawless, but I don't see how this is possible even if you take "don't move any mirrors" as meaning you can destroy them. Brain pathmapping will never prevent the top roach from blocking you in or hitting the other PP, and you can't kill it, without stepping on the plate, which wouldn't matter since hitting the PP to the brain requires stepping on the PP that closes the room off.

Yes, I either think this a joke (and means something other than the obvious interpretation), a misunderstanding, or just a mistake.

I am happy to be proved wrong though.

Hmm...now I'm wondering whether Spitemaster actually did this.

Sure, I'll give a hint in a bit.

Here's a question that probably cannot be interpreted multiple ways. Would a demo that completes this challenge also be awarded the in game challenge?

Edit: one could also edit beethro's position using hacks to produce a demo that would not move any mirrors.

Okay, I think I must apologize and put on the dunce cap for the day. I thought I saw the room cleared this way, but now I can't reproduce it. I must have been seeing things. :? I'll go ask for clarification.

Edit: yup. Don't know how I ever made this game :(

I have this theory that making DROD well and playing DROD well are mutually exclusive. Something about time sinks, or maybe time zones.

Of course, some of us do neither. :)
