Broken ladder

[aquaMat]

Meanwhile in Berlin:

If what I said yesterday about those

gap-tiles

in ladders is true, I figured there must be a whole lot of other rooms in my mansions that have ladders which are suddenly malfunctioning.

So I checked

The Birdcage

(I had to start somewhere).
And indeed - in room 14292 I found a ladder that had 2

gap-tiles

, similar to the situation in JUMP! discussed below. (See pic attached)

However, when I tested the room, my Jack could climb and descend that ladder without any bodily harm - just as it was intended.

So - can anybody (Vern?) tell me why the ladder in JUMP! resulted in a deadly fall, even after there was only 1

gap-tile

left - whereas the ladder in The Birdcage doesn't harm Jack at all ??!?

I don't get it.

PS:
I also checked

The Complex

- where are a quite a few ladders, several of which feature at least tiny gaps. NONE of them caused Jack to die !
