I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY ΑΑΑ TO REQUIRE HERE ON L5 BECAUSE THE MAXIMUM DEPENDS ON ΘΘΘ LUCK (IT IS BAD FOR ^ IF TOO MANY ΘΘΘ GROW DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE ΛΛΛ BECAUSE THEN, AFTER CONVERTING, A LOT OF ΒΒΒ WILL LIE ON THE ΛΛΛ WITHOUT CONVERTING INTO ΑΑΑ.) I TESTED AROUND 20 TIMES AND THEN DECIDED THAT 180Α WOULD BE NOT EASY BUT ALSO NOT TOO UNFAIR. THERE'S STILL A SMALL RANDOM CHANCE THAT THE CAVE IS UNSOLVABLE IF THE ΘΘΘ GROWS UNFAVORABLY, BUT THAT'S VERY RARE.  
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
CAVE DATA:  
RANDOM FILL: _60 Β50 Α9 Ζ2  
RANDOM SEED: (10 11 12 13) 14  
DIAMONDS REQUIRED: (100 120 140 160) 180  
CAVE TIME: (180 150 140 130) 120  
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
WHAT MAKES IT HARDER THAN L4:  
| 20 MORE ΑΑΑ. THE REQUIREMENT IS NOW SO HIGH THAT ^ USUALLY HAS TO CLEAR ALL THE SPACE UNDER THE ΛΛΛ, PLUS QUICKLY START COLLECTING THE FALLING ΑΑΑ SO SPACE IS CLEARED AGAIN FOR MORE ΑΑΑ.  
| ALSO, I GOT STUCK A FEW TIMES IN THE STARTING AREA BECAUSE AFTER COLLECTING THE FIRST ΑΑΑ, THE ΒΒΒ BLOCKED MY WAY DOWN!  
  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
SUMMARY: IDEAS OF CAVE E  
| BASIC IDEAS:  
 \ UNUSUAL SOLUTION: THE ΘΘΘ AND ΛΛΛ DO EVERYTHING ON THEIR OWN BUT ^ HAS TO CLEAR SPACE QUICKLY!  
 \ EASTER EGG: SAME RANDOM FILL, SEEDS AND Ν AS BD1-A (EXCEPT FOR THE ΖΖΖ)  
 \ COLORS: UNDERWATER FEELING  
| 5-LEVEL IDEAS:  
 \ INCREASE THE ΑΑΑ REQUIREMENTS SO MORE AND MORE SPACE MUST BE CLEARED FOR THE ΑΑΑ  
  
CREDITS TO altermaven - IT WAS ONE OF HIS CAVES WHICH HIGHLY INSPIRED ME! (SAME BASIC IDEA WITH THE ΘΘΘ + ΛΛΛ AUTO CONSTRUCTION)  
  
CAVE DIFFICULTY: 4/10   
P.S.: I FEEL THAT I UNDERRATE THE DIFFICULTIES OF THESE L5 CAVES BECAUSE I'VE TESTED THEM SO OFTEN THAT I FIND THEM EASIER NOW THAN THEY ARE FOR SOMEONE WHO PLAYS THEM FRESHLY. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, I STILL NEED THE HIGHER DIFFICULTY POINTS FOR THE LATER CAVES TO COME... :D

"INNOVATION LEADS TO INSPIRATION, BUT DO NOT LET INSPIRATION LEAD TO IMITATION" -PROVERB  
  
I'VE FOUND INSPIRATION IN OTHERS' LEVELS BUT IT IS ALWAYS RESULTING IN MY TAKE OF THINGS, WITH SOME CHANGES TO ADD A PERSONAL FLAIR :)  
  
IT'S NO SECRET THAT SOME OF MY LEVELS ARE INFLUENCED AFTER dustin'S OR darkstoorm'S PRIOR LEVELS :)

I TRANSPOSED THE WORDS ACCIDENTALLY. THE PROPER QUOTE IS:  
"INSPIRATION LEADS TO INNOVATION; HOWEVER, DO NOT LET INNOVATION LEAD TO IMITATION".
