difficulty: 10/10  
  
honestly i don't have a solution,! i only have  nesdori 's word who said it's possible. and yes, it's all \\\!   
i was wondering whether i should make another "diamond hunting" series of all five levels, but i guess the solution must include many, many | pushes and i don't know whether this is so much fun to do five times! also, i finally wanted a 10/10 challenge in this series :d

ahh, yes! so this is bd2 cave M level 1 but with different time settings. with the original cave the time limit and low fps makes it hard to get all \ in time. this indeed is possible and it's a fun puzzle. at first it looks like that certain regions on the cave are the most difficult but it turns out that whole different region is the most challenging :)

 dustin , btw.. there's not that much pushing in my solution that you probably thought of because of my comment about shortage of time in the original cave. no boulder is pushed more than 4 times in my solution and actually only one is pushed 4 steps and rest 3 or less. so this is doable with the original cave as well by memorizing everything carefully and doing the run in speed run style (and maybe with some pushing luck) :)

 nesdori , very nice! :d with this one being possible, i've got all caves together now for a "bd1-3 expert remix" caveset :d

 dustin , that caveset sounds interesting :) some caves already released here and some new?

 nesdori , this caveset will be a compilation of original bd1-3 caves (always the l1 versions) with maximum \ requirements. of course i chose only caves where there's a significant difference between original requirement and maximum. there are more-or-less-well-known tricks as well as our results from the "diamond hunting" caves, but among the hardest 4 caves of the last chapter, there's only one cave we actually haven't discussed (and this is because we cannot discuss it - probably you can guess which one i mean) ;)   
sometimes i increased the timer or the mw timer compared with the original.

 nesdori , i'd love to see your solution! my best was 121\, but i haven't tried more seriously...

free! at first i thought that the left edge is the most challenging part of this cave but it turned out that the middle part is; partly because i underestimated it and i first tried smooth solutions where there's continuous line of \ on the first row above the slime. i tried many different variations until i finally figured the one i did in my demo: do the bottom row in two parts; first from the right side then escape it and then later back from left side. i solved this years ago so i don't remember all frustrating details of some failed variations anymore :)

absolutely fantastic! it almost looks so simple but then it doesn't because it's clear that a lot of tries are needed to make everything fit together so perfectly!  
  
yeah, this will be fun (?) for everyone who tries to complete the bd1-3 expert remix :d

now that i reconsidered this for a gdash game, i got a better understanding of how much and what kind of strategy this requires! and btw i did this completely on my own and absolutely didn't copy  nesdori 's solution! i didn't even look at it! It's a complete coincidence that both solutions are almost identic! xd
