Well, hurrah to you too.....  

I played HoW so often (it's the one mansion with the most saved games in my "Saves" folder, all save points several time (with added letters to keep them apart B1, G 2 etc.)), and at that "oh-my-god-room" I always became a little better.... and I loved getting nearer to the right procedure etc. .....  except when at one stage I didn't seem to make any further improvement, no matter how hard I tried....  until it got to the point where I simply lost the patience....and I stopped trying.

That might be my weak point.... not enough patience...I don't know. However, I always felt puzzles should be hard enough to be interesting, but not so hard that 100 plays are needed until you eventually find it out.
(But thoroughly admired Freddy's construction, even if I never mastered it completely.)


And I bet, there are other plaers who might find it out sooner. 

Brell, how long did it take you ?  (Please, don't tell me: 2 trials       )

And really no matter of luck. Pure deduction, which needs a lot af patience (I know), helps you to solve this braintwister. But like whitbear8 said: HoW contains completely uncommon obstacles in comparison with (all?) other mansions.

HoW was of course never supposed to be the start of a new MM-fashion! Oh no ...

Time. What a funny subject to talk about in the .

I can reach the exit door in 5 to 10 minutes. But after having seen almost nothing from the mansion. And it has nearly 150 rooms. So why looking for the shorttrack?

After entering the exit door, didn't you see how many % secrets you found? And If you remember how many secrets you had at the finish, a small calculation ...
