AFTER LEVEL 2 TURNED OUT TO BE MORE DIFFICULT THAN I EXPECTED, I'M NOW CURIOUS ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS TIME, BONUS ΑΑΑ ARE POSSIBLE (I REMEMBER I HAD A TEST RUN WHERE I GOT 6 BONUS ΑΑΑ, ALTHOUGH I CAN'T REPRODUCE IT NOW). I THINK IT'S QUITE AN INTERESTING QUESTION HOW MANY ΑΑΑ ARE POSSIBLE, BUT FIGURING THAT OUT MIGHT REQUIRE A LOT OF TRIAL-AND-ERROR. DURING MY TESTS, I THOUGHT THAT 31Α WAS A FAIR REQUIREMENT FOR THIS ADVANCED LEVEL; NOT TRIVIAL, BUT I FELT THAT BY TESTING DIFFERENT ROUTES, IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO SOLVE THIS WITHOUT DESPAIRING. LET'S SEE... :D  
  
DIFFICULTY (I THINK): 5/10 (HARD)

ZERO FOR ME BUT I'LL TAKE IT! I FIND THESE CAVES VERY CHALLENGING (WHICH IS GOOD).

I ALSO HAD IN MY HEAD THAT I ONCE GOT OVER 40Α, BUT I WASN'T SURE ANYMORE BECAUSE WHEN I TESTED IT AGAIN BEFORE THE RELEASE, 40+Α FELT IMPOSSIBLE. HOWEVER, IN A CAVE LIKE THIS, A LITTLE DETAIL CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE :D

MY RUN IS THE KIND OF "INTENDED 31Α RUN" WHICH WAS THE BASE FOR THE Α REQUIREMENT. AS ALREADY MENTIONED, I WAS AWARE THAT BONUS ΑΑΑ ARE POSSIBLE, BUT I FELT THAT THE 31Α SOLUTION SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR LEVEL 3.  
  
STILL CURIOUS IF ANYONE GETS MORE THAN heywood'S 42Α! :D

NOT EASY TO REPRODUCE YOUR 46Α RUN - IT SEEMS TO BE IMPORTANT HOW QUICKLY YOU GRAB THE BOTTOM ΑΑΑ :D

THE 46 RUN ACTUALLY CAME FROM TRYING TO REPLICATE THE 42 RUN AT HIGH SPEED TO SCORE EXTRA POINTS FROM THE CLOCK. REALISING THAT TAKING TWO ADJACENT HORIZONTAL DIAMONDS QUICKLY VS TAKING ONE AND LETTING THE COLUMN COLLAPSE THEN MOVING ON TWO THE SECOND CAN SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE CONFIGURATION ABOVE. I THINK I GOT LUCKY WITH THE 46, BUT AS THE SAYING GOES, THE HARDER YOU WORK THE LUCKIER YOU GET.
