Stuck on this room.

Assumptions:

- timeout: something needs to step on the pressure plate next to the trapdoor by turn 65

- that something can be: 1) Beethro (unlikely - the roach queen must go first otherwise it becomes unkillable) 2) the roach queen (likely - but must leave roaches behind to operate the doors on the way out) 3) a roach (unlikely - must be pushed, but then can't be killed)

- in any way, Beethro must make a circle around the room as well, then finish next to the green door, killing the roach(es) left behind the trapdoor

But can't put this together in any way/order. :/

Any hints?

Why do you say the roach queen becomes unkillable if Beethro steps on that plate?

Because I mistakenly assumed the queen must go in with Beethro and gets stuck.

I solved the room now.

For anybody coming to this topic later - just ignore everything in my first comment, almost all of that is irrelevant. Think about the maximum number of roaches that a single queen can spawn and you'll get it.

I did not know that was possible.
