 [ Description of how to smash the snails and one troglodyte]

It is entirely unnessesary to deal with the snails or the troglodytes at all 
on this screen. In fact, I've seen people try an approach like this; it takes
forever for the trog and snails to get into position, and even then you still 
have to luck out that the last two snails will move into position at the 
right time. Have you actually been able to get this to work?

In any case, more thinking and less smashing is in order. There's even a clue
in the positioning of the original pieces. The only reason to open the door
to the critters is if you're greedy and want all the little gold pots.
