I didn't think it would be that hard to understand... This is what I mean:

Three balls further than the portal, and one inside it.

You must've made a typo there, you start with 314159 ;) I think you're missing a number between the 1 and the 5... or you just spent 300 000 dollars :P

I think the rules are fine. Basically, you need to get three of the armadillos into the center of that cross, and then get the last one into the portal.

Also, adding 'extra rules' is a part of what B levels are about - we haven't had an 'extra rules' level for a while either so I think it's high time we did.

I do have one question though, just because I like being pedantic:
Do the armadillos need to pass through the portal? Or is it OK just to get them in behind the portal by any route?
(OK, so two questions...)

Thanks :) The rules are unusual, but B-levels may be complex.

You can get them there in any way (but I think you'll have a hard time rocketing them through the cloth. Or through the indestructible metal.)

One more question. The rules are very clear in saying that 3 of the dillos must pass completely through the portal. So if someone submits a solution with all 4 dillos stopping inside the portal, then it will be dq'd right? Just wanted to clear that up since it might be cheaper to stop all the dillos inside the portal.

Let's restart the bidding at 313700+ :evil:

Yes, all dillos should be further than the portal, not (partially) inside it anymore.
