I have no intention of ever submitting this to the Holds board.

This is a very difficult room that requires you to drop all the trapdoors using Beethro and a time clone. There are around 400 trapdoors. Almost all of the trapdoors have force arrows, and there are arrow rotator tokens that activate every 10 turns.

In addition, there is a setup involving doors and evil eyes that prevents certain rows and columns from being stepped on. Which rows and columns cannot be stepped on change occasionally.

Wow, that is some impressive baloney.

Thank you for not submitting this to the Holds board. This is one of those good "academic" examples of what a 10-brain room could look like. So it's good to have this for reference and it's also good that nobody will make a serious attempt at actually solving it. Maybe a computer could do it I guess.

EDIT: This reminds me of the really old hold for silicon-based lifeforms which was an Architects' Edition mimic trapdoor puzzle, also pretty hard and not really intended to be solved by humans.
