from don pedro 9, cave n  
  
slightly easier than the gdash original because the indestructible exit makes itself felt.

though not flagged, i've tested it a lot in gdash and i could get more than 40 diamonds ;d

this one is a re-upload. it was unsolved, so i didn't destroy any solutions, and i renamed the cave so that it's the usual name scheme now. well the cave hasn't become easier so it's still a challenge! :d

still unsolved? what's up guys? it's even easier than the gdash version, where the destructible exit is also in the way :d  
  
i got 41\ on my test run. i'll try to repeat that for a demo ;)

I pretty much had an idea, but I was missing a couple diamonds, time for some more tries later :D  
  
Still haven't completely figured it out, but I'm sure the solution is pretty simple!

85\. at least 6 more \ is possible but the last fly didn't want to co-operate :)

wow! i knew that 36\ were not the max by far, but i didn't think that more than twice as many \\\ would be possible :d   
however, come to think of it, i did the top half very ambitiously, but in the bottom half i just wanted to avoid the butterflies :d

now i tried to find out the theoretical max:  
  
\ there are 7-1=6\ you can get from one butterfly. with 16 butterflies and one \ in the cave, this makes the max smaller than or equal to 97.  
  
\ but it seems like there's not enough vertical space in the (middle of the) cave to actually crush all 16 butterflies. with a "normal" crushing technique, i can destroy only 15 butterflies, so the max value is at least 91 (which is exactly the value you were talking about!).  
  
\ i'm very sure that the aforementioned lack of vertical space makes it impossible to crush all 16 butterflies for 6\ each. there are 8 places in the middle vertical line where a butterfly can be crushed for 6\. each of them can be used twice, except for the first (topmost) one. so 97\ are definitely not possible if i don't miss anything.  
  
\ i'm not 100 percent sure, though, if it's possible to crush the 16th butterfly for 4\ fpr a total of 95\, although i do not see a way to do so.  
  
my conclusion: i think 91\ is the max. 95\ might be possible but i don't see how, something between 91 and 95 could be the max if there's some technique to crush the 16th fly while sacrificing one or more \\.

another related question: what is the max on gdash (destructible exit)? :d

 dustin , your theoretical analysis seems to be correct because it's the same as my practical analysis :) there are seven vertical spots where you can get 2 * 6\ and on the top 6\ once so the max seems to be 1 + 15 * 6 = 91.  
to get 6\ twice on the bottom rockford has to be hasty and enter the previous explosion in cso-style from the right side to hold the column of \ for the next explosion. i exploded two flies in a single explosion once so that's why i only had 1 fly left at the end instead of two. that's of course still enough to get the max score but unfortunately the fly was stuck in the middle.  
  
with destructible exit one vertical spot must be omitted so the max in that case is 79.
