Wait a minute. If Mayhem 15 (The Fast food Kitchen) can be done in 10 skills, how come Tricky 10 (There's a lot of them about) is not solvable with 10 skills? Is it a percentage issue?

I asked that question because both of these levels have the same level template.

It's a percentage issue.  Tricky 10 requires 93%, while Mayhem 15 requires only 75%.  Therefore you can get away with less crowd control on Mayhem 15 and still get the required percentage.

In fact, a 9-skill solution to Mayhem 15 falls short by just a few lemmings.

I've made results for the final 4 levels of havoc! These scores may be challenged but these are 4 of the hardest levels in the game. Here's what I've got:

17: 13
18: 22
19: 20
20: 13

EDIT: managed to get Havoc 20 down to 11 as well  :)

Woah, I did some that aren't improvable?!  O_o
Wasn't expecting that.   :thumbsup:

EDIT:  Wait, I think there were a few that I found one skill solutions for, weren't there or something?  Don't remember.

Well, unless someone can do Flurry 5 with no skills, or 3 or 4 with 1 skill, then yes, your scores for these will stand. :)

Flurry 3 with one skill is very simple. I'm shocked no one else already found it.

I'll post a replay if you /really/ want me to but I'm pretty sure that more than anything else, it's simply something you've overlooked.

Not much chance of improvement on 4 or 5 though.

I believe it was overlooked; fairly obvious, easily overlooked.

I found that one a little after posting those, I guess.  I did find it, but it was before namida posted that.

You saved me a lot of work there. ;) Good job.

Now to wind up Havoc, and ONML as well.

7: 17
8: 10
9: 21

That leaves just Holiday Lemmings to finish off :)
