Lemmings Quiz

[mobius]

a - Capybara
b - Beaver
c - porcupine
d - squrriel
e - flying sqirrel (or a squirrel that got run over by a truck)
f - I'm gonna guess that last two; Lemming
g - mouse

I was thinking g was the whale actually. And SimpleMachine forum spell check thought I was trying to spell crappy, they never heard of Capybara?

oh a question.... in which game (and how) is it possible to save a bomber lemming? (apart from having him go into the exit before his bomb goes off)

[Simon]

All are correct, except (f), which is probably the hardest one. It's a jerboa, literal translation is "jumping mouse". Neither degus nor lemmings have a tail like this.

Steve in voicechat: "No, I was right. Everything is a dead rodent's hide. This quiz was a trick quiz."

I brought this up on chat a while back, but the quiz's silhouette for jerboa really do not do justice to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerboa" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">real thing.

Nobody noticed the question by TM?

Two answers: L2 and Revolution. In L2, Bomber is a different skill than Exploder. In Revolution, oh-noers can be assigned most skills to cancel their current action.

Yeah I know this Lemmings-Quiz here is something like a dead horse. But the thread about the "crappiest Lemmings themes" by Master 88 yesterday gave me the idea of a new question.

It's about Oh no more Lemmings (Amiga version).
As we all know, there are six different tunes and four different tilesets. This makes a total of 24 combinations for a specific tileset with a specific tune. Some time ago I found out that out of these 24 combinations, 23 are present in the game (single player mode only). Only one is not.

Which is that one?

The Answer is the bubble tile set. It doesn't have any levels that play the ohno tune 1 in the SINGLE player Amiga version of Oh no more Lemming!.


Here is the Breakdown for each tile set and tune.


                Tune 1       Tune 2       Tune 3      Tune 4      Tune 5      Tune 6



Brick           x11            x8             x8            x3            x8            x7           45
Bubble        ----             x3             x2            x4            x4            x3           16
rock            x2              x4             x2            x4            x3            x2           17
snow           x4              x2             x5            x5            x2            x4           22

                  17              17             17           16             17            16         100

In all honesty, questions that are akin to "How many pixels are there in all Mayhem levels of the DOS version of Lemmings?" probably shouldn't be asked.

After all this time, thanks to this post, this "impossible" question can finally be answered.

30 x 160 x 1648 = 7910400.

@ericderkovits Very well. Seems like it was quite an easy one. Tune 4 seems to be Amiga tune 6, Tune 5 Amiga Tune 4, Tune 6 Amiga Tune 5.
