There is a quirk of the save feature where a puzzle-solver can place two furnaces to the right of an existing grille, then save and reload the level.  This removes the grille and both furnaces from the level, and shifts the remainder of the row that had the grille on it two blocks to the left.

This could be used to create some interesting puzzles.  For example, dozulal can be solved with six furnaces and one save.

The problemis that this feature is not documented.  Should it be used to create puzzles anyway?

That is the most ingenious method of solving an impossible puzzle that I have ever seen.

I vote no since it is clearly a bug.  (It is caused by sending raw percent signs in data claiming to be x-www-form-urlencoded.)  When it gets fixed those levels would no longer be playable. 

If you want to really see what you can do with this bug, load zafutez, change the girders to grilles, save it, and reload the level you just saved.  Smiley
