        I have been looking into level 17 (did all the others :-D), and it looks impossible as you need 3 beams for it. As you only have 1 splitter (2 beams), that puts you up sh!t creek with out that paddle. Does anybody have a solution for this one? :(( Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016

        Notice that the topmost bulb and the bulb right below the laser are on the boundaries of the board. There's no way to bounce the beam back after it hits those bulbs, so those two have to be the last bulbs to hit. That means you'll need to use the splitter early. Look at which two bulbs have to be hit by a diagonal beam, and which two have to be hit by horizontal/vertical beams. That will tell you which bulbs have to be hit by the same beam. Figure out how to hit the rightmost bulb and get the beam out of the box. The beam can pass through the double-mirror piece if it hits edgewise. This is important. :) --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Help! Help! I'm being repressed!! :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer: Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm

                Thanks for the anti-productivity device. At level 15 I decided I'd spent too much time and gave up. Did anyone finish ? Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

                  Well, I've finished level 17 (what a glorious waste of time :) ). Why is it that the solutions always appear insanely easy AFTER finding them? :mad: -Sean ---- "Vigilance With Pride"

                    I just solved 18, and you don't split right after the first bulb. Hints:

                    • See the one-way arrow in the middle? That's a big hint about where a beam has to go.
                    • The refractor can deflect two beams at once.

                    I've found that it helps to see which bulbs have to be hit last (they're the ones on the boundaries of the board) and then work backwards, seeing how to get a beam to those bulbs. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Help!
