Ah, ok. My exams were all verbal, so I've got my results immediately. Quite ok!

Ah, ok, then Logic's solution is the only one, of course, and it is of course very luck- dependant.
I would find it interesting to discuss about the "best" solution, i.e. the way you get the best chances. I played the level once and I made it as follows:
-I pushed the boulder on (2, 1) to (5, 6)
- I released the fly and trapped it on a square from ((12, 4) to (14, 6)
- I placed the guy on (8, 8 ) .
It worked at the third trial. The first two times the amoeba was too fast and grew out too early. The other luck- dependant thing is that you have to hope that the last unit inside the fence where the amoeba grows is (11, 5), so that it will actually be trapped by the firefly. (I was lucky.)
Or would it be a better solution to trap the amoeba from left and down first, let it grow until the fence is full and only then release the fly and hope that the amoeba won't grow out until fly and guy are on their places?
