Does "mapping" actually help?

still plenty of space on the leader board.

Imagine you could be the first to open the bronze!!!

Of course the rest of us would have to hunt you down and kill you

But then bluesign2k's reign as the fastest/best would crumble. Would I really want that?

Well done on opening the green! It's a tricky one isn't it! I dread to think what Chirs has in store for us on the bronze
As much as I'd like to continue my reign as the "fastest/best" (or more accurately: luckiest! ) I'd be more than happy if any of you guys got top spot.... and Im sure that secretly, yeh, you do really want that
Top spot for a third time would be nice, but imagine the pressure for silver & gold!

Anyway, I guess it'll be the black next for a few of us... hopefully it'll be here within the next few days because I'm away until the end of the month after that

I solved the green one about an hour or so ago and general mapping helped. Mostly I wrote down the shape of the traps (to scale as much as I could), I found it better to know where I can't go instead of where I could.

thats was my strategy on the green as well...WELL DONE!

That's mine too right now, and i've already found the "safe passage".
A whole other subject is "how to get there and past"
