IN THIS CAVE, THE L5 VERSION AGAIN HAS A SPECIALITY. BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVEN OBVIOUS HOW TO GET TO THE ΑΑΑ IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M CURIOUS FOR YOUR SOLUTIONS BECAUSE I FOUND TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ONES - MY FIRST ONE WAS WITH A BIG DETOUR BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS QUICKER BUT INCLUDES A TRICK :D  
THE TIMER IS ENOUGH FOR BOTH SOLUTIONS, ALTHOUGH IT CAN BECOME QUITE CLOSE IN THE SOLUTION WITH THE BIG DETOUR.

CAVE DATA:  
RANDOM FILL: Β 120  
RANDOM SEED: (11 1 3 2) 15  
RANDOM SEED DIFFICULTY: (0 0 1 2) 1 *  
DIAMONDS REQUIRED: (21 28 19 24) 28 (ALL AVAILABLE ONES)  
CAVE TIME: (150 150 100 100) 100  
  
* MINIMUM COUNT OF 6X6 ROOMS WHICH ^ MUST VISIT TO SOLVE THE CAVE, IN ADDITION TO THE MINIMUM OF 5.  
ACCORDING TO THIS NUMBER, L4 WOULD BE HARDEST, BUT I THINK IN REALITY, THIS L5 IS CLEARLY HARDER!  
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
WHAT MAKES IT HARDER THAN L4:  
| RANDOM SEED: IT'S CLEARLY TRICKIER TO GET ACCESS TO THE ΑΑΑ!

I had to visit 9 rooms in order to solve this, so, there is an even quicker solution? :D

i visited 8 rooms (not counting the leftmost \\\ section a room); i could have also done it with 6 rooms but 8 is faster :)

 darkstoorm , your learning process seems to be similar to mine when i tested the cave: at first i only saw the biiiiiig detour- solution before i discovered the trick which you probably discovered now too :d

 dustin , when you mentioned "a trick", I started poking around the rooms, and the trick was pretty close :D unless there are multiple :O
