The trick is to "squeeze" all the lemmings together so that they don't occupy
more space than a few, preferably one, lemming(s). When they walk
under a masher only two or three are killed at a time, so you can
easily get most of them safely through the "hallway". 

To accomplish this, all you have to use is one blocker and a few
bashers. After the first lemming has fallen down on the left side, make him
a blocker on the edge of one of the stones leading up to the pillar at
the left. This will not stop the other lemmings from passing the
blocker while walking to the left, but they will (naturally) be
blocked when walking to the right. 

Now, use bashers to let all the other lemmings coming from the other
three openings make their way to the left. At the end, all of them are
squeezed into a narrow spot between the pillar on the left and the blocker.

Finally, blow up the blocker and amuse yourself by watching the
lemmings walk through the "hallway" under the mashers. If you have
done it right you should be able to get around 90 per cent safely over.

Good luck!
