Now that is quite an achievment, Suz !!!
@ Arevn:
Yeah, I know.... but once I finished a mansion (even with only two third of the secrets found) I usually wait at least 2 weeks before I play it again....so it doesn't get overly familiar !

@ Arevn:
Thanks - but the thing is, I've been very sick for more than two weeks and taking medication that makes me feel like I'm speeding, very restless, even when I should be resting! :o So, instead, I push little Jack to hurry up and get through those mansions!
I finish the meds by Wednesday and have lots of touring work coming up, so hopefully, at least Jack can take an actual rest for a bit! Well, until the Tubes comes out, anyway! :

Ah, that famous room with the key falling into the lava?
I solved it very easily by failing to achieve the wrong solution
How, praytell, did you solve it? Do you mean failing to achieve the correct solution?
Arevn
No no, I meant failing to achieve the wrong one: I tried something which would have not led to success, but failed. This made me discover by chance the proper way to go on ;D
And by the way, I had managed just under 12min (and missed the screenshot :
) I think there are one or two rooms where you can waste quite some time - I got lucky and managed to pass them quickly I guess.

Your time is excellent! The room that slows me down every time is 14698 ('Folie'). Those jumps just seem impossible to me. I would eat up a kazillion lives trying to pass it until I put in the 'safety net' two rooms down.

Yes, I had that room in mind when mentioning the harder ones. When I played last time I managed to lose just one Jack there (I missed the safety nets. I guess that won me some time too
). The previous time it had claimed a much heavier Jack toll!

Terrific mansion, Arevn. A little easy, a little normal, a little hard, a good bit of trickery and some humor - great balance (although my keyboard may not recover from the Folie jumps!). BTW, how much money was it possible to earn? I had 48,850.

Sherry, thanks for playing and taking the time to comment!
My keyboard had the same issue with Folie. ;D
Total money: 48850 You got it all, congrats!

It was exactly that room which drove me crazy as well.... first time I lost a zillion lives there.....but during the second play I was lucky and went thru it pretty fast !
It's definitly harder than
normalthere....

This room is what makes the mansion normal, I think. Most of the rest of it is easy. Easy and hard averages out to normal, right?

Re: new mansion--Triad - aquaMat - 03-04-2008
Well, arevn.....
I'm not sure if I'd call the rest of your mansion EASY either (apart from a few really easy rooms)..... but you're definitely right, when you say the whole thing is
normal....
BTW....I usually have the same tendency....to
underestimatethe difficulty of my own creations (I remember I wanted to call The Void
normal-to-hardfirst ;-) !!). As a builder you're so familiar with what you've created so of course it seems a bit easier to yourself than anyone else.
