Hi, I'm sorry about lack of spoiler warnings.
I didn't think the hint was that big of a giveaway, since it has no details on
how to do the various steps, just what (some of) the steps are. From my playing experience, in a level like this, it is so easy to get yourself trying something for hours that only leads to a dead end. For example, for a while on this level, I got Stinky to destroy the wrong box and ultimately got nowhere. That's why I posted the hints, to help others not get too frustrated by getting stuck doing something that ultimately doesn't work. I certainly don't intend to come off as bragging about my success.
I completely disagree with malcdelsol on both counts that my hints are too much of a giveaway. For "Sir Stinky", I only mentioned about the box trick without saying how it is to be used, and I didn't even talk about any other parts of the level. For "Show me", the first 2 hints might be more substantial than necessary (I disagree), but again the 3rd hint is about another one of those unusual tricks that I felt many people might not know about. This partly comes from the reactions
you guys have with my Diversionary Tactics level--it also uses some "unusual tricks" which it seemed like very few people figured out on their own.
I'll definitely take care to put big red spoiler warnings in any future hint posts. Also if the majority of the forum users don't believe I should ever give out hints on other ppl's levels I'm happy to comply with that too.
