hmm, ok. i instantly see a way to get 3\ but i'm not sure if it's intended because although there is some kind of cso-issue it's quite mild. but the interesting question is: is it possible to get bonus \? :D

ok, not just one bonus \ but two bonus \:s is actually possible. but.. i have a feeling that  dustin  is trolling with 3 required \:s and my solution might be the intended.. :)

3\ see my cso-related solution (different from  nicol 's and  robert 's).  
5\ is a puzzle for me :D

i hope your 5\ run is gentle to the firefly, otherwise the cave title would not be justified anymore :D

 dustin , oh! you got 4\ but 5\ is a mystery; that's interesting and in that case your solution a little different because in my solution it's quite easy to get 5\ when there's option for 4\. the fourth \ is never concretised because it's traded for 2 more. that's a big hint i guess.. :)

my solution free.  
  
 dustin , so now you'll realize why i speculated my solution might be the intended. perfect cso-trick and perfectly placed top | to get 5\. it feels like the cave was designed to do this :)

omg! the trick to make 2\ out of 1 was so simple i didn't see it! :D   
my solution shows an alternate way to do the cso trick :)  
  
unfortunately, "tit for tat" now doesn't really fit anymore. the intention was that you can easily kill the ffly for 3\, but if you spare it, it helps you for 4\ ;)
