Confound It!
Deceptively small, with nothing hidden.

Stinker Rating: 8/10

here I was all excited to coe and say I did it on the second try when uh oh.... I can't get out the exit. So, I tried walking and moving in all the impossible ways that you use, even though you said there is nothing hidden. And confound it! I still can't get out. Grrrrr. You are a mean, mean man!

WOO HOO!!!!! GIVE ME THAT GOLD STAR! Excellent, my fine sir! Simply excellent. Thanks for letting me use you as a sounding board, too!

EDIT: You wouldn't belive the stupid grin I've got om my face right now.

help I get all the coins, but still cannot exit. I tried almost everything, but I just do not see it. The grin on my face is frozen from frustration

Wow, what a tricky trick level, it took me about 10 tries to get the idea and then 2 or 3 because I was making some mistakes.Now the gold star is mine.

A really good level!

I'm the same - can get the coin - but no exit

yeah, me too mark...ok, your a silly goose...you were trying to trick me..i got all excited too, thinking i had finished another one of yours..yeah, right...i cant get out either..good trick....

Here are a couple of hints:

Your placement of each Stinker is very critical.

This is the Solution Sequence:
Get the Rainbow Coin
Destroy the Yellow Chompers
Get the Bonus Coins
Destory the Red Chomper
Exit the level

If you need further hints or a spoiler just message me.

How in the ???? I tried and even if you put the barrel by the coins, the boulders are stacked by each other so you can't get to them. I'd like help please.

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 11:28 pm

Thanks for the pm/spoiler but I still can't do it Mark. You say to get the coin first, then get the bonus coins? How do you get the first coin with the barrel without having to get the other barrel/bonus coins at the same time? How can you ever get past the boulders to exit?

Me thickie today - sorry

Even with your hint I can't get home - I think I need a spoiler on this one.

I got a gold star!! This is clever, and one that if you really think about how certain things work, you can solve.

It still took me a few tries to tie it all together. Thanks for another challenging level!

amy25 · Post by **amy25** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 1:15 am

I tried it and still couldn't figure it out Mark

I do think Chickie is right. A spoiler would be helpful.

K. I finally got it once you gave me the help. You kill me every time you make a level. I just hope I don't sound like broken record always asking for help! You do make great levels!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 7:36 am

I get it now, Thanks for the hint Mark, Now I know why you get the bonus coins later on, You are very creative and even with your help I still had to think a bit. Thanks for the fun.

I definitly need more than a little hint on this one - my brain is about to burst into flames

Please PM me, ohhh mighty Mark

I see I am not alone in struggling on this one! I just can't seem to get a handle on it! Since you have received quite a few requests for help and obviously sent lots of pm's, how about posting a spoiler on this thread for me (and anyone else who might not want to ask you for a hint)! Thanks, Mark! Your levels always give my brain a workout!

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:59 pm

Well, after a complete walkthrough from Mark - I finally got through this one - thanks for holding my hand Mark - I needed it

Stinker level from the biggest trickster stinker in Wonderland

Thanks (I think)

Solution to "Confound It"

First line up the three Stinkers so that you can push the first powder keg into the ice path so that it lands into the patch of water near the coin.
The secret to unlocking this puzzle is the single trampoline.
It can be used five times in a row to acheive a higher bounce.
Have Peegue enter the ice path to get the Rainbow Coin.
Position Loof at the end of the ice path blocking the exit. Now have Peegue slide to the right four times. Each time he will bounce higher on the trampoline.
Be sure to position Stinky on the right side of the lamp post or the
red chomper will bite Peegue as he leaps over the wall.
Now have Peegue pushes the two boulders down. Then he can
cross over to the island. Finally have Peegue push the last powder
keg up into the exit path on the left side. When Stinky walks down the red chomper will explode into the powder keg, and your three heroes can exit triumphantly.

Thanks for the walkthrough. Otherwise I wouldn't have made it. Clever and fun puzzle, thanks

Mark - I just don't know how your brain works.
That was so-o-o simple - when you know how ! ! ! !

Thank you so much. Even though I can't do them without help,
it's a wonderlandful education to see how they are done.

drushing · Post by **drushing** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 5:32 am

Thanks for the spoiler, Mark! No way would I have thought to block the end of the ice like that! I knew the trampoline was the key just couldn't figure out how to make him bounce higher! Thanks for a very intriguing level!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 7:43 am

Thanks so much for posting the walkthrough Mark! I'd never have got there without it.

You are so devious. What a brain!

Armando · Post by **Armando** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 7:28 pm

Amadeus,
I would never have solved this in a million years. Such a simple layout and I knew that when I rolled that boulder after collecting the rainbow coin and the bonus coins that it wasn't going to work -- too simple.
The solution was ingenious and without your cheat I know that I would not have solved it. It's another facet of the new features added recently that I must remember for future levels. Terrific!

Sorry Mark, I thought I'd already commented on this one.

Excellent stuff Mr. Majestic but I also needed the spoiler.

I just love your levels, keep them rollin' in.

dunc · Post by **dunc** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:15 pm

wow.

i knew it was something sneaky, so i went for the bonus coins first and pushed that stupid barrel every which way thinking there'd be a hidden path. then i came back to the thread to see if there was some help and DUH the first thing i notice is that mark says there's nothing hidden

i gave up after a few more tries, and then looked at the rest of the thread and found the walkthrough, and have to say that although it's actually very simple once you have the idea..........that idea would never have come to me in a million years!

another one of mark's that totally bewildered me

MaryUK · Post by **MaryUK** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 1:01 pm

I still can`t do this even with the walkthrough

, Peegue just bounces the once each time he goes down or up, I know I`m thick

, can anyone give me a pinter on how to get him to bounce please?

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 2:41 pm

Peegue just bounces the once each time he goes down or up

If Stinky stands at the end of the ice, then bouncing Peegue must go back to the left, meeting the trampoline again and again!
