I cannot figure out this room - I know there is some quirk that will make the snake go into the notch, but no matter how or where I move the snake will not cooperate.

I'm tired of this room - a complete spoiler would be welcomed.

you don't have to get the snake to go into the notch.
this is one of those rooms where you have to go away for a bit and come back later.

If Stigant is correct, then this room exploits a bug that was fixed - you used to be able to kill a serpent by entering the room on its head. That's no longer possible. If there's no other way to solve the room, then it itself is impossible.

Note: there has to be another way to solve this room as it has highscores. But entering on the serpent's head doesn't work.

Ok, I just solved the room (in the editor of my dev version, because I haven't played through the hold, so I can't post a demo).

I thought I could explain what I did but I can't really - I tried what I suggested again and it didn't work, and now I'm not sure what I did differently. Search the forums for advice on serpents and maybe someone with a better grasp of their behavior will post here too.

Wa-hoo! Stefans hint allowed me to get it on the second try.

Thank you - all of you for your help.
