Alright, let's bring over yet another classic challenge. This one is a bit tricky to understand - you are trying to find the lowest number ("n"), such that you can solve the level with no more than N uses of each skill, while also remaining within the original skillset.

So in other words - for an N-of-each solution to count, all of the following conditions must be met:
1. The solution actually solves the level (of course)
2. No skill type is used more times than the skillset (+ available pickups, where applicable) already allows for
3. No skill type is used more than N times

Preassigned skills do not count towards this, as usual.

A lot of easy ones in this rank that we got at about the same time. This is the only one I got ahead of namida :P

My replays of interest for Quirky.

Quirky 6 and Quirky 31 both beat the DOS results. Quirky 6 is probably possible on DOS but I can't be bothered trying to confirm it. Quirky 31 will not work on DOS due to the lower lemming count, although it should work on Amiga.

Interesting replays for Redux/Zany.

DOS result for Zany 16 is 3 of each, and is not marked as needing a glitch. I can't see how to do it even with glitches, though.

Interesting replays for Redux/Manic.

Manic 13 "Upside-down World", 2 of each
Manic 14 "Come on over to my place", 2 of each
Manic 15 "The Silence Of The Lemmings", 2 of each
Manic 16 "A BeastII Of A Level", 6 of each
Manic 18 "The Gate Trap Lemmings", 2 of each
Manic 21 "Electric Circuit", 2 of each
Manic 27 "Watch Your Fingertip!", 3 of each

Mod Edit: Manic 18 replay updated.

Lunatic 2 "The Boiler Room" - 7 of each (R). My 6-builder solution doesn't help here - it uses 7 bombers and 8 climbers, and barely makes it even with that
Lunatic 3 "Anxiety" - 4 per SYCLW
Lunatic 4 "No Added Colors Or Lemmings" - 2, as every skill is required
Lunatic 5 "There's Madness In The Method" - 2, as per SYCLW
Lunatic 6 "Which One Are You Trying To Get?" - 2 of each (R)
Lunatic 7 "Down, Along, Up. In That Order" - 5, as per SYCLW (+ a bit of common sense)
Lunatic 8 "Lemming About Town" - 4, as per SYCLW
Lunatic 9 "Evacuating A Coal Mine" - 3 of each. The 2-basher solution requires 3 builders, while the 2-builder solution requires (at least) 5 bashers.
Lunatic 10 "Be More Than Just A Number" - 9, as per SYCLW
Lunatic 11 "Fix The Road, Quick" - 8, per SYCLW
Lunatic 12 "Water Processing Plant" - 7, per SYCLW
Lunatic 13 "This Corrosion" - 7, per SYCLW
Lunatic 14 "Move On In Two Seperate Groups" - 5, per SYCLW
Lunatic 15 "Evil Whisper" - 2, per SYCLW
Lunatic 16 "SEGA Four" - 5 of each (this is just the no-climber solution, which very obviously needs all 5 builders; any solution using fewer builders would need at least 18 climbers).

Right. Here's the second half of Lunatic. Most of these results are because of the SYCLW challenge, but some replays are attached for others.

18: 3
19: 11
20: 7
21: 6 (Thanks to namida's Lemmix solution for this one)
22: 6
23: 2
24: 4 (Very close to making it 3, but not quite. This one may need another look)
25: 2
26: 9
27: 7
28: 7
29: 11
30: 4
31: 8
32: 5
