     This IS a tough board!  If you notice what you are given, I believe
you have quite a few bridges.  The way I finally got through this board
certainly isn't easy and is very hard to duplicate, but I'll describe it
anyway.
     When the lemmings start to come out, start making as many as possible
bridge builders.  If you do this right, you will end up with a bridge that
that is thick.   When the lemmings cross the bridge and then turn around
to walk past the bridge they will get trapped between the bridge and the 
middle post if the bridge is thick enough.
     Once one of the first few lemmings reaches the pole in the middle, make 
him a basher.  If everything goes right, no lemmings will die.  This will take
a while to get right!  
     If anyone else has figured out a better way than this, I would be 
interested in hearing about it.
