Just had the most frustrating yet ultimately rewarding Lemmings experience. I spent about an hour and a half straight on this "My Friend The End" puzzle. This is not the first time I tried to solve it: previous numerous attempts at this puzzle failed many many times. This time, I spent about half the time finally figuring out the correct way to do it. So what did I do for the second half of the time? Trying to perform it to perfection. Because I cannot "storm that level" without a perfect performance. There were just so many times (more in the beginning) where I missed a skill, misplaced a skill, or simply discovered new faults with my plan. Closer to the end, though, it was a race against time. There were a few times where the last couple of lemmings went in to the balloon just as the time hits 00:00. Guess what, that means "Level Failed"... There were also many times when I started a builder just a bit too soon or too late (like, in the interval of 1 to 10 seconds too soon or too late). That's just frustrating, since you really don't know whether or not they will make it when you do it -- cannot be slightly earlier nor slightly later. I ended up with a 1:05 figure -- the time that those bunched-up lemmings must start building. Even after I figured out this time, the two remaining lemmings must be timed carefully as well... Oh, boy, that was really hard. I think it must have taken more than a hundred tries to get it right, and performed it perfectly a few times, but finally performed perfectly with exact timing in the final try. Finally, it's done. My friend, the end.

P.S. Nice start to a Christmas Day, eh?
