LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT... IN MY OPINION THE HARDEST CAVE OF DBD21 :D IT TOOK ME A TON OF TRIES AT FIRST UNTIL I GOT THE REQUIRED 500\\\, AND ALTHOUGH THE TIMER IS SET TO SIX MINUTES - A RECORD IN THE WHOLE DBD SERIES - THE TIME CAN STILL BECOME AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. IT WOULD BECOME A LOT EASIER WITH ONLY 450\\\ OR SO, BUT THE PATTERN "100, 200, 300, 400, 500 \\\ REQUIRED" WAS JUST TO ATTRACTIVE TO ALTER IT. AND AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE SECOND HALF OF LEVEL 5, SO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED THE GAME UNTIL HERE REALLY SEEKS CHALLENGES, DOESN'T HE? :D  
  
THE PUZZLE CAVES N AND O MIGHT BE HARDER IN TERMS OF THE PUZZLE FACTOR, BUT THIS ONE CLEARLY HAS THE HARDEST GAMEPLAY TO ME - IT DEMANDS VERY GOOD PLANNING AND THEN IT'S STILL DIFFICULT ENOUGH TO DO THE PLAN IN PRACTICE!  
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
CAVE DATA:  
RANDOM FILL: INITIAL \ / 60|  
RANDOM SEED: (0 1 2 3) 4  
DIAMONDS REQUIRED: (100 200 300 400) 500  
CAVE TIME: (120 180 240 300) 360  
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
SUMMARY ON CAVE K:  
| BASIC IDEAS:  
\ BIG |||-\\\ MIX WITH DANGER TO GET STUCK  
\ ^ CANNOT FREE HIMSELF BECAUSE OF THE ΙΙΙ  
| FIVE-LEVEL IDEAS:  
\ L1 CAN BE SOLVED BY JUST RUNNING BACK AND FORTH, BUT MORE REQUIRED \\\ REQUIRE A MORE AND MORE DETAILED STRATEGY  
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
CAVE DIFFICULTY: 9/10  
  
an obvious bonus challenge would be "get all \\\!", but this looks pretty much impossible, or if it is mathematically possible, then it's humanly impossible.   
at least this is my claim until  darkstoorm  or  nesdori  prove me wrong... ;d

so interesting comments that i'll definitely try this later :) all \\\ sounds a little bit rough though :D  
  
btw.. lvl 3 of this cave is also named "l5"; another " krissz -fix" needed :)

hmm, now that i took a closer look and made some calculations i think all \\\ might be possible. there are 188 spots for storing ||| beneath the slime (190 - (^ + exit) and there are total of 167 ||| on the cave. i was already planning where to build a mountain of pure | above the slime but that might be not necessary at all :)

 nesdori : i'm curious if it really works out! :d and thx 4 the hint!  
  
 krissz : there's another cave with the exact same name from me, but that other one should actually be "l3", not "l5". can you fix that please? :)
