but no mysterious (i.e. hidden) exits! :d

i couldn't help myself but use the "maze-jail" introduced in my " dustin 's bd 13 cave j l5" solution although it's a little bit exaggeration here and probably not the fastest way to deal with this cave :)  
  
based on the first cave, i'm already a fan of this series :D

that's funny because i got inspired by  nicol  who likes caves for "regular players" ;) so i thought i could come up with a new series as contrast to cso (which i think is rather irregular :d) and i always liked to toy around with the originals! but here's a little disclaimer: out of the 10 caves i already have, this one might well be already the hardest :d

 darkstoorm , be careful with the \:s! you can't solve this if you get a bonus \ :)

great cave, confusing, simple and brilliant! :-D

it's quite obvious what is needed but achieving it is so counter-intuitive that it's easily missed. a battle of obviousness vs. counter-intuitiveness :)

thx guys :d honestly i didn't expect so much feedback for my "little" idea :d when i had the idea, i found it funny how the two bottom rows, which didn't have any meaning in the original, suddenly became useful :d

here's a summary of the hints:  
\ no hidden exit; the only exit is blocked by the boulder.  
\ 15\ is the max, although there are 16\ in the cave.  
i think the difficulty will vary a lot in this new series, so i want to rate each cave on a 1-10 scale.  
difficulty of this one: 7/10

90 attempts later :D

i think it would have taken less attempts if "solbing" and "hiscoring" weren't synonymes for you :d

 darkstoorm , congrats! :D i'm really wondering; what did you try to do with 90 attempts? if you didn't discover the mw early there's really nothing new to try after a few attempts and when the mw is discovered then the rest should be easy with your cso-skills.. :)

 darkstoorm , .. unless as  dustin  pointed out, the 90 attempts were hi score attempts :)

 nesdori , well, I was very unlucky with pushing the boulder, because FFly was approaching too fast :p then it was just too many flies inside :D

because  Arno  revealed his solution so my solution also visible. my solution is also a valid solution for lvl6 of this cave where there's just one column of dirt on the right side :D i probably could have done faster run as well by using the same technique but the beauty of the maze-jail is its capability to hold flies and not the speed :) now i'm interested to see what  darkstoorm  came up with.. :)

 darkstoorm , nice! you cleared the exit in between and came back and still managed to do the best time. i think there's lots of room for improvement if this was a serious hi score battle :)

 nesdori , thanks :D There definitely is some room for improvement, haven't earned the Firefly Charmer title yet :D
