I can get 'em blocked on the right, I can get 'em blocked on the left (some very deft timing), but gettting just one or two guys outta there is nearly impossible, as far as I can tell!

As soon as the first lemming hits the ground start digging straight down. As the second one hits the ground let him to walk just bit to the left and start digging down. Just before they dig in the water change them into builders (now the hole should like something like this). .__ ___ ..| |_.. ..|__|.. ........ Then just change one lemming into climber (he won't climb on the right edge but on the left one insted) then just build the ladders and dig in the end and build a path from the hole to the surface. Solution #2 requires building a long stairway to the right. MIT -- Bubble Bobble
