Using Lizzie's lovely new custom texture "ArtDeco" - thanks Miss Lizzie

Have fun

Lillie, you had me stumped for more than a day on this one.

The button paradox was quite ingenious.
And the solution was so simple once you know the secret.

This is you at your brilliant and devious best!

PS - Love the title: Deco + Decadence = Decodence

I totally agree with Mark, This level is you at your most devious, That start was absolutely brilliant, I had to hardest time trying to get the barrel into position

Ya stinker! Don't want to give to much away, But one thing is for sure once you no what to do, It is easy.

I tried every which way to get things going in the right direction and at one point I thought it was my bad timing

This took me most of the day to think about and I finally struck it rich.

Of all things I was out picking up rocks around the lake and it finally dawned on me what I needed to do

I know now I don't deserve the title of Miss Stinker after this major brain scramble-strainer....
You do!!!

You will always be a stinker Cathy, In fact you two can be evil twin sisters.

Oh yeah! The old one huh? I am more like this ......

and at least I still have some hair!

Seriously - we are The Stinker Sisters (but you are the stinkiest!)

x

Hadn't realised this was so stinky - sorry! Here are some hints.

There are two characters in this level (incase you didn't switch like I never do

).
Push wood box right and tramp it left onto red button.
Have one character stand on white button.
Other stinker tramps down and pushes barrel up over tramp.
Same stinker pushes boulder down and skiddadles to the right out of the way.
Switch characters quickly and once returning boulder has passed white gate step down off white button pushing barrel one tile down and wait on break tile.
Step left again off break tile once the boulder has landed on white button.
Now have one character stand below tramp and t'other tramps barrel down over tramp.

That should get you going

Okay I'll admit it, I have ten years on you......but no hair

well okay, some days there isn't much left

This wasn't stinky, actually it was extremely well done

Me too hon, I am suprised I have any left looking after two little boys and a loonie husband

Thanks for playing and well done for completing it!

And if I was thinking there are no new tricks around - here I was wrong!

What a beautiful model of cooperation - took me about an hour and a half to unravel and I loved every moment, thanks!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:29 pm

Thanks Amnon and everyone else for your comments - glad you enjoyed it

Actually I had a patch of ice below the first tramp and Mark told me it made it too obvious so I changed it - so you have him to thank/blame for the extra stinkyness

Had some trouble with placement of the barrel and then the guys, but finally muddled my way through. Thanks Lillie, another prize winning level!

I've been at this one for hours and hours. Got the first part worked out eventually. Excellent teamwork needed there. And I enjoyed every minute, but at the end I'm stymied.

I've got everything covered, but I'm just not fast enough to get to the coin below the dark blue button before the sphere rolls back. I can't see a trampoline jump into that area, but I'm very dumb when it comes to stuff like that.

Any help please?

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:40 pm

Hi Lizzie - when the first stinker rides the travelator, have him push the sphere/boulder and quickly step to the left before the sphere comes back at him off the ice. He then has all the time in the world to take the coin and stand below the ice to await his accomplice, who will then ride the travelator and push the sphere for him

Piece of gataeux

Hi Lillie,

Edit: Got it! And I just read your note, Liz. Thanks! This is a great level, Lillie!

I'm a new face to the board.

I am having the same problem as Liz. I have tried to push the sphere as you suggested and have been able to step to the left, but the blue sphere just drops into the water and I lose it.

Any other ideas?

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:04 pm

Finally, I got it! Thanks for the help Lillie (and the PM from Wonderfull).

Actually the right idea did occur to me whilst I was out today.

You're getting more and more devious with your levels Lillz. This one has taken me forever to do. Absolutely brilliant puzzle, thanks so much hon!

Annedanner - when you ride the travelator right, just walk down and left. You go through the boulder, the sphere travels round the ice and back, knocking the boulder up for the button and staying still for the next character to push down.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri May 04, 2007 4:43 pm

Glad you both got it!

Thanks for playing and WELCOME to the Forum Annedanner - hope to hear more from you!

What?

There're two characters in this level?!

Caught out by the oldest trick in the book!

(For some anti-embarassment -- old tricks rarely fail

)

I'll try later, but you know, much later!

Here is a link to the video solution - thanks so much Mark for providing this

Took a look at the video solution.

My way was slightly different - box and barrel uses were reversed.

Thanks Mark for making the video for us.

This certainly generated a lot of discussion and I can see why! The barrel part didn't actually give me as much trouble as trying to eliminate the bottie and working out the blue button coverage

for some reason I kept screwing up my timing!

Did make off with gold in the end, thanks for the fun Lil!
