This postman is running late with his deliveries and wants to make it to the town on the other side of the lake as quickly as possible. Crossing the frozen surface of the lake is the fastest route, but it's so slippery that he won't be able to stop unless he bumps into something. What's more, some parts of the ice are so thin, they'll break as he crosses over them, meaning he'll only be able to use them once.
Can you guide the postman so he can reach the other side of the lake without falling in?
That thin ice is a real annoyance. It might be best to avoid it as much as possible...
Start by sliding left into the rock in front of you. Then go downwards, left and upwards. From here, have a think about what you need to do next.
If you head left from the spot you reached at the end of Hint 1, you'll never make it to the goal.
Instead, head right, then up, then left. From here, you can choose to go either up or down. Go down and you'll soon find yourself stuck, so going up is the thing to do at this juncture.
After heading upwards, as instructed at the end of Hint 2, you need to go left. Now it's decision time again: up or down?
If you're thinking up looks like the way to go, you might want to reconsider...
As you may have gathered, you should go downwards from the position mentioned at the end of Hint 3. After that go left, and you'll be faced with the final big decision: up or down?
Well, if you want to reach the goal, you need to go up, then right, then down. Now you're just one little slide from the shore!
Solution
Correct
Ice cool!
The postman will surely think twice before taking this so-called shortcut again...
