IT HAS BECOME AUTUMN ON FIRE PLANET, AND WHILE IT'S STILL QUITE HOT HERE, THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BECOME FAR MORE BEARABLE. THE DEEP RED COLOURS OF THE LANDSCAPE HAVE CHANGED INTO A GOLDEN BROWN, NATURALLY ONE OF Κ'S FAVOURITE COLOURS! ORIGINALLY, Κ HAD INTENDED TO LEAVE THIS UNFRIENDLY, ΖΖΖ-DOMINATED PLANET A.S.A.P., BUT NOW HIS SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE HAS NEWLY KINDLED. THE MORE SO WHEN HE DISCOVERS A BIG GOLDEN TREASURE SOUTHWARDS! HOWEVER, THE WAY THERE IS LONG AND NARROW, AND THE ΖΖΖ ARE STILL PRESENT EVERYWHERE. SOME OF THEM SEEM TO BE PRACTISING A KIND OF MEXICAN WAVE!  
  
REMARK: THE SHAPE AND COLOURS OF THIS CAVE MAY REMIND OF THE BLACK-RED-GOLDEN GERMAN FLAG, AND INDEED, IN "THE NEW ELEMENTS 2" (ON WHICH THIS SERIES IS BASED), THE 7TH ZONE "G" IS FOR "GERMAN FLAG ZONE", NOT FOR "GOLD". BUT AS I HAVE ALREADY RECENTLY MADE A CAVE ABOUT THE GERMAN FLAG FOR ANOTHER SERIES (SEE "DIE WELT 10 DEUTSCHLAND"), I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO START EMANCIPATING THIS "THEMES ABC" SERIES A BIT FROM "TNE 2". WHILE SO FAR IN THIS SERIES, EACH CAVE IS CLEARLY BASED ON ONE "TNE 2" ZONE, THERE WILL BE COMPLETELY NEW CAVES AS WELL AS THE SERIES GOES ON! (THIS IS KIND OF UNAVOIDABLE ANYWAY, BECAUSE SOME "TNE 2" ZONES ARE COMPLETELY BASED ON ONE OR TWO NON-CLASSICAL ELEMENTS OR EFFECTS!)   
FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT THE NEXT CAVE OF THIS SERIES WILL BE A COMPLETELY FRESH ONE, NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY RELATED TO THE 8TH ZONE ("HIDDEN PASSAGE") OF THE NEW ELEMENTS 2! AFTER HAVING DESIGNED THAT CAVE, I FOUND THAT IT FITS EVEN BETTER INTO THE OVERALL STORY THAN THE ORIGINAL TNE2 ZONE! :D

WOW, 200 ATTEMPTS AND NO SOLUTION YET - I DIDN'T CONSIDER THIS ONE TO BE SO DIFFICULT, OR IS EVERYONE TRYING TO GET THE BONUS AT THE LEFT FROM THE START? THAT REQUIRES SOME EXPERTISE INDEED! :D

HERE'S A HINT: THE FIRST ΖΖΖ PASSAGE SHOULD BE PASSED BY RUNNING VIA THE VERY TOP. BUT FOR THE SECOND ONE, Κ BETTER CHOOSES THE GOLDEN MEAN!
