×You have to enter at 1;
You have to put the decoy at 2, sword facing west, to kill the roach that's spawned and blow up the queen;
You have to do so before a second roach spawns, or else it'll be covering 2.

Which is great; but I can't do it. I can get to 3 with only one roach spawned, but I can't head west and get back there--thereby blocking a second spawn--in less than 34 turns.

×You need 34 turns to go west? Is there anyway to use less than 34 turns at once?

1. You can get all the way to the orb & strike it using one spawn cycle - so don't.
2. Once you strike the orb, what else happens? How might that help?

×I knew that I had no chance to make it to the orb in one spawn cycle. What I specifically meant by "west and back" was "as far west as I could go, and then back to south-of-the-queen", which--because there's a wubba behind me--takes 34 turns. At turn 23, I'm four squares east of the orb and the wubba is due NE, which is my first chance to go around to its other side.
