No, I don't care, I don't want broken links ><img src=" title="Angry" class="smiley" /> You should get rid of that. Don't you realise that not everyone has seen that link yet?

Um, that's the point.  If everyone has seen the link there'd be no need to mention it.

It is ridiculous how you keep acting as if you own the forums and everyone else's posts.  I'm sorry that you failed to read the post carefully, and wasted maybe oh a second or so clicking on a link that was clearly said to be broken.  That's your mistake not Dullstar's.

It's also worth mentioning that if you use sites like the Internet Archive, or possibly even just Google, there's a slim chance you may be able to take that broken link and find an archived version of the page from years ago, using the URL that no longer works.  So just because the URL doesn't work doesn't necessarily mean it has no use.

OK OK, back to challenges now.

Tricky 13: 20 builders only, and also, will you tell me how many lemmings you rescued? I've got 83% :)

100% with 11 builders :D It can be done with only 10 builders, but you lose 2 lemmings.

EDIT: Just found a 9 builders solution with 97% savings.

Damn, I didn't explain clearly enough. I meant 20 builders only without using any other skills.

I completed minimac's challenge with 22 builders, two of which were wasted selecting lemmings facing the wrong way when releasing the crowd. If you discount those, I have solved the level with 20 builders and no other skills (lose 3).

As for "fewest builders while using other skills as well", here are my current (glitch-free) records:

* Tricky 13, 5 builders and lose 1, or 6 builders and 100%
* Mayhem 25, 5 builders and lose 2

The Mayhem 25 five-builder solution is a thing of pure elegance :) It uses every single non-builder skill you're given.

My best so far for 100% builders-only is 18 (attached).

Tame 18: 66% with 2 bashers, no bombers, miners or diggers.

No one has done it so far (have you seen it yet?) I've also got to say that all other skills are allowed just to help you. I didn't need a glitch for this challenge ever.

My Tame challenge set includes an improved version of this (1 basher, 100%). So yes, I have done this challenge ;)

I've also solved this challenge. Nowhere near Clam Spammer's improved version, but I can get a lot more than 66%.

A couple of recent ones I've done in the challenge topics, which I think are worthy of being posted as challenges here:

Tricky 12 with no builders.
Taxing 4 with no more than 3 builders.
Mayhem 3 with no bashers.

2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)

Last three challenges turned out to be impossible for me! I have tried them for some hours with no possitive results  :(

Any hints? I suppose they involve glitches.

They do. Tricky 12 involves two glitches (one of them twice), Mayhem 3 involves one glitch, and Taxing 4 is basically glitch heaven.

LOL! :D

I'll keep trying, the one I'm closer to find the solution is Tricky 12 I guess.
