hi-5  darkstoorm ! :d  
235\ looks like the max to me ;)

i think the theoretical max is 236\ but my ratings for it are:  
  
difficulty to spot what to do: 9/10  
difficulty to successfully execute it: 10/10  
  
i'm probably not stubborn enough to actually try it out :)

 nesdori , sounds like a very interesting puzzle again, at least the theoretical part! no idea yet... :d

ok i was stubborn enough and got 236\! it only took about 80 tries so maybe not 10/10 but 9.5/10 :)

OH! I think I see it now, I will try something later, but I'm afraid Amoeba will not want to cooperate ;)

 nesdori , when you wrote that you weren't stubborn enough to go for the 236th \, i wasn't sure if i should believe it :d

# .font: font.text_2
2022-06-06 14:48 nesdori  
# .font: font.text_1
 dustin , yes i almost lost my sleep last night because i kept thinking what would be the best way to do 236\. so to save my future sleep i had to do it :)

Not sure if I'm correct, but I think I see 237\ and I'm not really sure it will be possible to test with fast amoeba growth, but I will try! :D   
  
or maybe I counted a diamond twice, we will see :D

 darkstoorm , oh! 237\ would be interesting; currently i have no ideas how to improve 236.

now this becomes more and more interesting... :d  
  
 nesdori , now this sounds more  nesdori -ush to me again :d

Nahh... actualy a miscalculation :( Now I'm disappointed :D

# .font: font.text_1
if you think you can get more \\\ than  nesdori ... you probably need more sleep to see why you're mistaken :d

# .font: font.text_2

# .font: font.text_1
Yes  dustin , that's the lack of sleep :D   
  
I tested the cave a couple times just by moving collectable diamonds that are replaced by amoeba to the bottom to collect them later and I just missed one, which resulted in +1 that's why I was so confused :D

The amount of bad luck you need for this run is so absurd, that I had to give up :D amoeba is just too fast

# .font: font.text_2

# .font: font.text_1
 darkstoorm , there are many ways to do 236\. try thinking how to boost your luck but don't lose your sleep :) i think that i was a bit unlucky (and clumsy) that i spent 80 tries. on average shouldn't take that many tries.

FInally, Amoeba decided to cooperate :)

# .font: font.text_1
 darkstoorm , i chose a little different way.. :)

# .font: font.text_2

ahh, the amoeba blocks the way for the \\\!  very nice :)

 nesdori , my first 100 runs with your solution didn't want to work, amoeba was just too fast :D Nice!
