New level - Peegue's Perilous Problem

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 10:32 pm

I hope you like this level. I designed it with the intent that there is hopefully only one way to solve it.

If that's not the case, and you folks would be the ones to determine that, then I'm embarrassed yet again!

Enjoy!

Silly you...most times the creator doesn't see what someone else sees because he knows the route. Don't ever be embarrassed over something like that.

Every puzzle is a personal creation, and this one really had me going. I thought, Hummmmmmmmm that's pretty easy....Roger has got to be up to some tricks here.

And you sure were. I have not seen that in any of the puzzles I have played. Good one. I won't say what or how I did it until all the others have done it....I played it right away as I happened to be in the forum when you posted it

This is a good puzzle, and very neatly laid out.
Thanks!

This DID look fairly easy. What a little surprise I got when I thought I could exit! I had to work with it for awhile, then caught on when I observed certain effects. I don't know for sure if I did it the way you had intended - I needed all 3 boulders but not all of the kegs. Maybe that'll give you a clue whether or not I did it your way, without giving away the solution!! Thanks for another fun puzzle Roger!!

Hi Roger,

Well, as you say, give a level to us lot to play and who knows how many ways we all think up to solve it

I played this level several ways - the least amount of items I required was 3 kegs and 2 boulders - and the metal box to reposition the boulders

It was good fun trying them all,

Thanx,

Malcdelsol

Good level Roger, I also thought it was going to be a piece of cake.

When I tried to exit it became a different ball game!

I used two boulders and three kegs, love to know which way you intended
this to be solved.

Thanks for the fun.

Ha - obviously I'm doing it a little different than 2 of you anyway since I'm using 3 boulders. My way is most likely a longer way around! Sounds like I'm backwards, too!

This level is an illusion itself

At the beggining I said to myself: "This is easy, don't see what's hard on it", but then... owwww !!! I really enjoyed (btw, I had to put the timer off in this one

)

Thanks for a fun level.

Very much doubt that one majic1!

Isn't it great that we all have different ways of solving a puzzle?

I would say that 3 kegs and two boulders must be the minimum amount.

Of course, someone else could come along and refute that.

This is amazing. ol'gramma, you were sure right when you said "silly you" !

I think it's my turn to find out how you folks managed to solve this.
Here's how I "thought" it had to be solved:

=======> S P O I L E R below <============

1) 1 boulder south to north to destroy 2nd row of boxes
this frees up boxes to build bridge in river to the right
2) place 1 powder keg south of exit, east of wooden box to destroy wooden box
3) 1 boulder east to west into powder keg (destroys boulder also)
4) repeat steps 2 and 3 to destroy west-most wooden box

Of course you'll need metal boxes to move boulders into place.
Honest, that was my solution. Honest, I (naively) thought it was about the only way it could be done.
You folks are something else. Give you a challenge, and you're up to the task. I'll be anxious to hear other solutions.

Hope you all enjoyed!

And I hope you know, Roger, that 'silly' was meant in a good humored, kidding way about you being embarrassed on not seeing another solution!!

No need to be upset...one time I made a level that I thought was so complicated, and eeyore wrote and said, "did you know you can walk around the corner and right into the exit"? Nope. Sure didn't..even after playing it many times....I was focused on my own path!

This level or yours, I used 2 boulders and 3 kegs..like most of the rest. 2 shots, down the same path by the tree.

It still was a unique idea and I hope you will make many more! I can't wait for the next one!

The one about eeyore telling you that all you had to do was go 'round the corner is a riot! Now I know that no matter if I believe there's only one solution, leave it to the hardcore Wonderlanders to uncover a dozen or so more. I'm glad folks did such a good job on this one. I had fun making it. And I have fun playing all of your levels. Someday I'll complete all of them. Someday....

Thanks to all for the kind words. More levels shall be forthcoming.
