based on: boulder dash v by don pedro  
caves with changes: 18/20  
  
the start of no1's remakes of don pedro's caves! no1 made a ton of changes here in almost every cave. the intention is mostly to make don pedro's challenging caves easier, and in some extreme cases this means that don pedro's whole idea(s) behind a cave is no longer present in no1's version. let's dive into the caves!  
  
about this cave:  
  
original cave (search in database): "don pedro bd05 cave a"  
  
changes by no1:  
  
| the left ΔΔΔ is shorter (in original, it goes to the very bottom)  
\ this gives far more space for the converted ΑΑΑ.  
  
| the ΒΒΒ density is reduced (from 50 to 27)  
\ i'm not sure why he did that; it makes the cave even slightly harder because there are fewer ΑΑΑ to get. my theory is that no1 first reduced the ΒΒΒ density to create more space between the two walls, and then he thought 'why not just shorten the left wall?' which solved the space problem more easily, and then he forgot to set the ΒΒΒ density back to original.  
  
different from original: 4/10  
the super-narrow space for the ΑΑΑ in the original means that Κ might lock himself out from the ΑΑΑ if he isn't careful; this problem is no longer present here. on the other hand, Κ might now get too few ΑΑΑ if he doesn't convert quickly. both together make me think that the changes here are somewhat comparable to bd1-n, where 3 out of 6 ΖΖΖ were removed.
