There is the rule that trampolines only can handle 1 lemming at a time (at least I think), like a fast trap that can only handle up to a certain density of lemmings before letting some past. That is also the reason why you can have problems on Sport 1 getting a gold standard.

Yes, that part made sense and seemed fair to the player.

So you can minimize this problem by avoid using pause in cannon levels.  Granted, this may be easier said than done in some cases.

Thanks ccexplore, that's helpful. I'll give it a go.

I'd spent a while trying to pin down the cause, and seeing if I could avoid the problem. I was trying things like moving the cannon whilst a lemming loaded itself.
