I don't see what the problem is. Can't u see what I wrote in the textbox? Im merely discussing the differences between our two solutions, which I'm happy for anyone to see, without giving spoilers to the community if people are trying the challenge themselves.

Looking further at ur solution its essentially a modified version of geoo's original solution to my no-blocker challenge. Did u see that replay he posted? Damn that splat height... :P U have ruined my plans of leaving the whole forum scratching their heads for ages while I refuse to release my solution until someone solves it or everyone gives up :P Oh well, lemmings works in mysterious ways hehe...

@ CCE (invisible)

It may have looked relatively simple turning the left builder, but actually it was the crux of the whole solution. I couldn't afford to waste two builders turning him around against the wall. And I had to totally teach myself the most effective variations in making 3 builder walls. As for my method on the right. I agree, I think this is the most efficient (minimum builder) way of doing it. Although I discovered this technique very early (by accident) and its the same for my other solutions.
So in terms of blockerless builder efficiency I can do 17 builder - LOSE 2 or and 18-builder LOSE 1 with my method. The 100% solution was just a very clever tweak :)
U should have seen some of the stuff I was trying before i found it..... I almost wished it had worked cos it was so sick, but the timing was just slightly off.

I almost wish the bottom was slightly lower so ur method wouldn't work :P I think ur really close to the splat height there. My solution would work with almost any splat height :P

Also, its a pity u solved it and uploaded it so quickly. Now all the lazy people will just download ur file instead of trying it themselves  :sick:

Still...nice alternate solution. I think I worked on it for about a 9 hour period over a few days before I found it.

Wow, very impressive find there ccexplore.

Whats even more interesting....I found a different solution!!  :)

I didnt realise you could turn builders around like that at 89 RR. I did however use a similar(ish) trick to turn a builder around using a shrugger.

Here's mine.

Yo, the records need to be updated for my 100% solution to Wicked 9  :)

As mentioned in my post here http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=12.390

If the doors were blown off the previous challenge... I think the building has just exploded.

Who said the 100% challenges were done to death?  ;P ie no improvements possible?

This is probably one of the very hardest 100% solutions I have come across in the Lemmings games....

Jeez... my brains feels scrambled. I am SO close to 100% but just not quite there. This level really is pretty amazing... it originally looks as if there is very little option on what to do at the start, but theres actually tonnes of intricate, clever ways to contain the lemmings.
Hopefully one combination will work out for me.

Ok, nice job clam. Basically I can solve it 17 builders - LOSE 2 or 19 builders - LOSE 1

Actually if there was 21 builders in the level I would have 100%. It may still be possible by tweaking my method :)

Ok, I've just blown the doors off this challenge again.

But I don't want to post the new requirements since this always seems to act as a way for the challenge experts to eliminate red herring solutions :)

I'll just let u stew a while longer and see what u come up with....

Here's a cool challenge I think you guys will like:

Solve Wicked 9 - no blockers

I read ClamSpam's "what skills can't you live without" thread and it says a blocker is required in all solutions, so hopefully this challenge hasn't cropped up before.

I stumbled across this looking for a 100% solution to the level, but it appears to be out of reach at the moment.

EDIT: Solve Wicked 9 - no blockers - 19 builders max

Thats awesome Steve. Shame about Full tilt tho...
Luckily I played on stars and never had any money tied up in FTP.


Don't play much right now (so busy with uni) but I'm sure I will be back. In my prime I had about a $2k bankroll and 2-tabled $1/$2 9-seater no limit cash games on stars. During that period I cashed out about $2k before I went bust. Although I never like to buyin for big money. I always started from just a $20 investment and built it up for there. So if I ever lost $500 in a night, I could stomach it a little bit better knowing at least I wasn't down money :)

More recently I tried a run at SnGs on stars, they got a nice new slower structure for plenty of play. I did mostly $22 9-seaters and won about $500 there.

As for dance machines.... lol thats pretty funny :)

I prefer the real thing in a techno club! Guess i forgot to mention that in the previous post. I used to be HUGE on techno/house clubbing/dancing before I started my MSc  :P
