Evacuate the Sinking Ship - spent ages on this one. With how the solution

fits I'm fairly sure its the conventional method.

Back after a while not playing, though I expect progress to be much much slower now I'm on the hardest levels.

I do have one more solved level - Stuff in the Way. I don't know if my solution is the only/intended one, certainly requires a bit of T+I in the timing.

Ascending and Descending - Great in scale and I must admit having only 1 basher really stumped me for a bit, but

Thanks. Especially helpful to see what doesn't solve in the fixed 15-20 mins.

Derailed Level: Wibble had similar trouble with Derailed Level; it sits next to Railroad Plot merely because of theme, not of difficulty. Derailed by itself candidate for ranking harder.

Crimson Room: Also eligible for ranking harder; even though not-solving after 5 minutes is only weak evidence for ranking higher.

-- Simon

Derailed Level did take a while, though most of it was me trying to force a route that just didn't work. I think Daunting is the right difficulty level for it though (maybe later in daunting if it is derailed [see what I did there] from Railroad plot).

Crimson room just has a lot of options so is fine to solve, yet tough to solve quickly.

Don't Catch Me If You Can - This is an "easy if you can see it, impossible if you can't" type of level, a nice stalling trick in the end. Nice to see the shadow tribe getting a go at the game too.

Yuki, Muon, Madobe, Nite - I assume this translates as

. Assuming my solution is the intended method I like that trick at the start.

Thanks all, that hint of
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
was all I needed - well, on top of all the others! To be fair, I think I'd have still been there waiting if I hadn't had the hint to
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Had one of those moments where I was counting skills used for 1 method for a different method
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
.

After all that I still had a bridge to spare too!

So, with all of Vicious done I feel that it's fairly obvious which levels I consider the hardest in there!

For Hopeless, I have solved a few.

Recycling Plant - very original,
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. I had the idea to
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
but took a lot of different attempts, varying use of the remaining skills to get to a solution. Looks good in fast forward mind!

Empty Space Is Hardly A Waste - solved this before
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
, so I really should have saw the solution to the latter earlier, especially as this level didn't take long at all. Love the simple aesthetic of this one.

Close to the Edge - Got the idea fairly quickly for this one too, but was slowed slightly
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. Once I changed that approach it was solved pretty quickly.

The Hotel In Hell - As with Close to the Edge, I was pretty close to the solution pretty quickly, a slight tweak changed me from almost there to there, namely 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. Liked the aesthetic of this one again.

Division of Labour - Solved in 2 attempts, honestly didn't think my method would work and just tried it in case it did! Only just mind - in 2 places the timing is very tight.

I've got a feeling I have picked the low hanging fruit so far mind, the other levels I have looked at in Hopeless are nowhere near a solution as yet.

Still stuck on Escape, have started more seriously looking at Hopeless now.

Will post about others later, but thought I'd comment on Bipolar Maniac. Surely this is a backroute, otherwise this should be in Lovely!

I suspected the first of those hints, and got 100% built solved off the 2nd hint - at last. That's a trick I don't think I'd have ever spotted otherwise. Ironically, the level referred to was the level in Lovely that I found the most difficult by a considerable margin!

Chasm - I had the right idea after the hints told me to approach it
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. Took many rewinds and attempts to

though - a worthy final level for this difficulty I think!

Escape - I think I have seen the trick you all were hinting at, but still a bridge short.

So, no further on Gr8 Escape or 100% built. For Chasm, this is now where I am at,

Burridan's Lix RHS now solved. Weirdly I thought I'd tried that method earlier, clearly I hadn't!

Thanks for all hints given, I have looked at 3 of the levels I was stuck on and solved 2.5 of them now.

Burridan's Lix (LHS) - OK, should have saw that way sooner than I did!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For the RHS, have read Proxima's hints, I did suspect it would be something to do with the level mentioned there, still working on how though.

Wait Why Is There a Tree? - I had most of the idea already, just missed
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Theresa Falls Up the Stairs - Got this one off the first hint. Liked this level a lot, any level that uses a variety of skills, particularly the non basic lemmings ones, is one that appeals. The trap adds a nice bit of scenery even if it is generally cosmetic in function.

So, with the remaining 6 Vicious levels I'm pretty much stuck. Some feel close to the solution, some not. 

Gr8 Escape - still not seeing how to apply any tricks with bridges to either stall several lix in 1 go (without needing an extra basher) or turn around without a wall.

Burridan's lix - 1 short on the solution for the left, not even close with the right.

100% Built - not seeing how to save a bridge on either side.

Wait Why Is there a Tree? -

Theresa Falls Up the Stairs - 2 different unsuccessful methods attached.

Chasm - Most of my attempts are variants of the attached.

Hints for any or all would be appreciated at this stage.
