Yeah the Lose X numbers are based on the total lems including cloned ones.
I've just checked the Mayhem 10 EU leaderboards and fifth place has a time of 1:16.14 so they are seperate for each region.
That's kind of a shame, would like to see the top scores on a global level.
Managed to squeeze my way into the top 5 on Mayhem 9 (EU) with 4:13:56: half a second behind 4th. Still half a minute behind pioneer-mk6-100 at the top (if that guy's legit he's incredible (along with kgb555) dominating so many of the leaderboards). Reckon I can get 4th place, but I think a different method's needed to break the top 3.
I do wonder if there's a steel glitch, especially with Mayhem 5. I'm 11th but 5th is five minutes faster and even if I maxed my solution it would be nowhere near that time.
If you set the first lemming in that level to dig immediately, then the next lemming (in the right compartment) to climb out and start bridging to the exit; it takes roughly 2 minutes for the lemmings that are getting dug down to get to the exit (including the ones that head left once they drop to the bottom level). So to break the top 5 legitly you can't dig all the way down.
The only other feasible option I can see is to use the basher to get out when the digger is halfway down, but I see no way of getting all lemmings into one compartment without using the basher.
Mayhem 7 looks interesting with the top 3 half a minute ahead of 4th/5th. I'm just under a minute behind the 1:27 in first place, but I don't think my solution was what the designers intended.
The top 5 of Fun 6 can definitely be broken into legitimately. I was trying earlier but kept getting the timings wrong and having one lemming walk the wrong way at the end.
Frevett, if you just want 100% on Mayhem 10 then ignore the leaderboards for now. There's a slower but much easier method. Mayhem 4 is interesting and uses some ideas that are quite obscure. No glitches, but you need to be creative with the skills.
Yeah, I have 100% on Mayhem 10, with two different solutions:
One with the main body of lemmings walking across the top all the way, and one with them getting turned back and heading through the portal
In Mayhem 4 I can
dig through the first platform and leave a step for lemmings not to die of height and then get the two blockers close enough together so that one can free the others. Utterly stumped on how to stop lemming 2 escaping the digger though.
Taken a break from it while I have a look at the highscores on other levels.
Completing this level in 70 seconds or under would require all lemmings to use the teleporter. I have an idea of how to do this, but I can't actually do it. A steel-digging glitch may be required to actually pull it off.
I've managed about 47 of them in 70 seconds, but haven't made any progress from that. I need a basher to free the blocker I use and another basher to stop a digger digging himself to death, which is obviously one too many.
