- CYAN SWAMPLAND -  
  
ROCKFORD HAS REACHED THE FIFTH RAINBOW COLOUR, AND IT'S VERY SLIPPERY HERE!  
  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
A HYBRID OF THE BD1-I DRAINS AND THE BD2-E SLIPPERINESS, WHICH LEADS TO QUITE UNUSUAL FALLING PATTERNS.   
AT THE BEGINNING, I OFTEN GOT CRUSHED IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY WHEN I TRIED TO GET AS MANY ΑΑΑ AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY ON L5 (UPLOAD LATER) WITH HIGH SPEED, WHEN EVERYTHING CAN QUICKLY GET OUT OF CONTROL.   
85Α IS A RELATIVELY HIGH REQUIREMENT FOR L1. FIRST I HAD 70Α REQUIRED, THEN 80, BUT THAT FELT TOO TRIVIAL TO ME - A LITTLE RISK IS JUST PART OF THE MAIN CAVE IDEA, AND THERE ARE STILL AROUND 20 BONUS ΑΑΑ, SO THE CAVE SHOULD BE WELL SOLVABLE ALSO FOR VERY CAUTIOUS ΚS.  
I COMPARED THIS Α REQUIREMENT WITH CAVE F WHEN I DESIGNED THE CAVES. IN CAVE F/1, I GOT 57-59Α BY JUST THROWING THE ΒΒΒ THROUGH THE ΛΛΛ FROM LEFT TO RIGHT W/O THINKING, SO Κ WILL BE JUST 1Α SHORT IF HE IGNORES EVERYTHING. HERE, IF Κ LETS EVERYTHING JUST FALL THROUGH THE ΙΙΙ, HE WILL GET FAR TOO LITTLE ΑΑΑ, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, BY JUST COLLECTING THE VERY NON-DANGEROUS ΑΑΑ BEFORE THEY FALL THROUGH, HE CAN ALREADY INCREASE HIS QUOTA CONSIDERABLY!  
  
CLASSIC BD THEMES:  
MIX OF ΒΒΒ AND ΑΑΑ FALLING THROUGH DRAINS (BD1-I)  
ΛΛΛ CONVERTING BOTH ΒΒΒ INTO ΑΑΑ AND VICE VERSA (BD1-P)  
SLIPPERY ΙΙΙ (BD2-E)  
  
DIFFICULTY: 2/10 (EASY)  
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
THEMATIC COLOUR: CYAN (180 DEGREES ON THE COLOUR WHEEL)  
  
ACTUALLY, THE COLOUR IN THIS CAVE IS NO "PERFECT" CYAN BUT SLIGHTLY GREENISH WITH A HUE OF 176 DEGREES (FOR COMPARISON: GREEN = 120 DEG, PERFECT CYAN = 180 DEG). THIS WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, I JUST DISCOVERED THIS SLIGHT MISHAP WHILE RECREATING THE CAVE FOR THIS SITE :D  
  
COLOUR 1 (ΓΓΓ): 80% SATURATION, 80% VALUE  
COLOUR 2 (ΕΕΕ): 100%, 100% (PURE CYAN)  
COLOUR 3 (ΙΙΙ, ΔΔΔ): 50%, 100%  
REMARK: COLOUR 1 IS BARELY VISIBLE IN THIS CAVE AS THERE'S ALMOST NO ΓΓΓ, BUT THE ΓΓΓ COLOUR ALSO INFLUENCES THE ΑΑΑ WHICH ARE A MIXTURE OF ALL THREE COLOURS.  
  
ETYMOLOGY OF THE NAME "CYAN": LIKELY FROM HITTITE "KUWANNA-" MEANING "COPPER BLUE".  
  
OXFORD DEFINITION: A BLUE-GREEN COLOUR, USED IN PRINTING.  
(REMARK: IN PRINTING, CYAN COUNTS AS A PRIMARY COLOUR, TOGETHER WITH MAGENTA AND YELLOW.)

IN THE LIGHT SPECTRUM, CYAN SITS BETWEEN GREEN AND BLUE; IN THE PIGMENT SPECTRUM, CYAN IS THE DEFINITION OF LIGHT BLUE (BECAUSE PIGMENT IS SUBTRACTIVE, THAT IS, IT 'DARKENS').

CORRECTION: THE CYAN IN THIS CAVE IS SLIGHTLY BLUISH, NOT GREENISH.  
COMPARISON:   
PERFECT CYAN: 180 DEGREES  
THE CYAN IN THIS CAVE: 184 DEGREES  
BLUE: 240 DEGREES.  
  
altermaven: TRUE, THE EXACT DEFINITION OF CYAN VARIES; IT IS EITHER AN EQUAL MIXTURE OF GREEN AND BLUE (HUE 180 DEG) OR A SLIGHTLY MORE BLUISH VARIANT (HUE SLIGHTLY ABOVE 180 DEG). ALSO IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORD "CYAN", IT WAS MEANT TO BE A SHADE OF BLUE FOR A LONG TIME; THE DEFINITION AS AN EQUAL MIXTURE OF GREEN AND BLUE IS RELATIVELY NEW.

WOW darkstoorm,  2/3 PERFECT! :D NOW I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A BONUS CHALLENGE ON L5 WITH 10/10 DIFFICULTY :D
