Please test this hold.

Every room is a challenge in timing and/or efficiency.

It should be quite fun I hope. :smile

I'm making revisions(4/17/05)...

Firstly, thank you for the testing and thorough comments.

I am attaching my demo for the same room. Yes, I did intend a different solution. You did come up with a fine trick though ;)

As for level 3, 1W. This IS solveable. I did feel this was going to be the hardest room so I was thinking of putting a hint:

I'd hate to just tell you the exact solution.
I could give more hints, but
1) seeing how you completed all the other rooms, this'll probably come to you
2) at some point I'll post the hold and I'm sure you'll get more hints then.

It is a bit tricky, muah.. muaaaah.. muaaaahahahahhhh.....

Oh, I can't actually say anything, but this is a very tricky and very efficient hold. And no, I haven't completed any of them yet :weep

I think I will try harder...

Just want to make sure, erm, you are going to post a new version of this hold in here, don't you?

(Yes, I know this is a me-too post, but this is a very good hold... I'm very jealous.)

It's a funny thing, I didn't get any feedback for a while.

Then Erik says we might want to make special holds on a quarterly basis so I was going to propose this hold which hadn't gotten too much "publicity" yet.

Now Urban was good enough to give me some solid feedback so I have altered several rooms (the original versions are all fine should you play them).

So.... I'm not sure what to do for now.

One way or another you should see a final version of this hold.

I agree with Tim in that I have also completed no rooms yet – urban is a genius.

I have not seen the likes of these rooms since Ricky’s Dungeon, perhaps Bavato.

Everyone must try this – I need help – but your download link is now missing larrymurk. You are possibly updating but I have attached mine for the interim.
Link now removed on request.
