Yes, the solutions from Logic & Dustin are correct.
PUZZLE #8.
Will the firefly and the butterfly ever touch?
(Created with PLCK.)

Am I right that in PLCK, the firefly moves left and the butterfly down initially? Then the question is very easy, they will touch very soon because the butterfly spins arounf and the firefly comes meeting it.

Hi Dustin, no exams at the time, hapilly !
(unless you consider giving presentations as exams...)
But enjoying the

However, your answer to puzzle 8 is correct, so I will post a new one.
Remember, this is almost the last one I have......

PUZZLE #9.
How many units must the amoeba grow, at a minimum, until it suffocates, and converts into diamonds?
(Extra assumption: explosion puffs cannot be used for enclosing amoebas.)

Is there any chance to pass the first 6 boulders? It doesn't seem to me.

Should be no problem for the experienced. The 6 boulders right above those look like a problem to me (assuming that diagonal digging is not allowed).

This first step was very tricky to me. Nice puzzle

Indeed, I can pass the 6 boulders from the right, but not from the left. (Boulder Dash is asymmetric.)
As both situations occur in this cave, Rockford cannot reach the exit.

Nice one! After all the other puzzles were solvable, finally an unsolvable one!
It's a pity that there aren't any more puzzles to come... perhaps we make a general thread out of it where everyone who has a little puzzle can post it?

Hello.
Caves of the puzzle # 10, I managed to go Boulder Dash clone "Boulder Rocks! 3D".
A little bit of a shame that the Original BD does not have this possibility.

This depends on the "rapid" control mode. This doesn't work in "classic" control mode. Due to some compatibility problems in the original C64 games, I prefer the classic control mode (you can change this setting in the game setup).
