Could I get some help here?

I think the orbs need to be struck in the order 3, 4, 2, (1 forced) 3 can be hit straight away, 4 blocks the southern route only, but no matter when I hit 2, it will either blow the 4th bomb before the 3rd or blow the 3rd before the fuse has made it past the orb 1 bottleneck.

3, 4, 2, 1 is correct, and I assume you know when to hit 4.

As you've observed, you need to hit 2 before the fuse passes (23,20), or the fourth bomb gets triggered too soon. The choice, then, is whether to hit 2 before or after the fuse passes (13,11).

×If before, the fourth bomb still goes off too soon -- unless you cut it off by hitting orb 1. If after, the third bomb will trigger orb 1 and cut off the fourth bomb.

×So either way, the situation where the fourth bomb is cut off before it blows up is unavoidable.

×How much of a problem actually is that?

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't just check that anyway.
