You're both right. Yes, Ramond has to provide a counterexample, and he chose NNN, which is a valid counterexample. I wanted to test NNN anyway, but there's no rule that prevents Ramond from looking at future posts. He could have chosen something else to help us more, but it's still early in the round and he wants to give as little away as possible.

No, it isn't. NNN is a valid counterexample to my rule guess.

We've got levels with more than 100 lemmings (the standard max), but what about levels with more than 4 trapdoors? (the standard max)

----------

I experimented with the idea myself, as the last level in each tribe of my Lemmings 2 pack has 10 trapdoors...the idea being about rescuing many small pockets of lemmings instead of a big crowd going from A to B.

Pros include: a different approach to solving, many clever ways to rescue each group (made easier with the extra skills of L2, but I'm pleased with how the Classic one turned out too) and the logistical challenge and the flow of the level can be quite fascinating.

Cons include: much longer levels with more complexity, more skills required, more moving parts (to go wrong), and player aids are pretty much required.

----------

Has anyone else tried something like this? How did it turn out?

I use the 5-second rewind and 5-second forward NL hotkeys in addition to the 1-second rewind/forward, 10 second time skip, and rewind to last skill assignment. So really, the 5 seconds would be in addition to all the other rewind/forward Lix hotkeys, not replacing any of them

AKHTBN iff it is three letters long, and starts with the fifth to the fourteenth letter of the alphabet.

None disproved Proxmia's guess at the time of posting though, so it's still in the rules you need to provide a counter-example.

Lix has no customization of the rewinds.

What values would you choose?

Thanks! It worked like a charm.

Since one of Simon's guesses (NNN) disproves Proxima's guess of the rule, I didn't add a counterexample.
