The vertical gaps are a bit confusing, but here's the key:

D is the first Door, opened with a lever
~ is water or magma, and enough of it to spread across the halls wavering between 1 and 2.
◘ Is Rock, unmined and such. Or wall.
1-5 Pressure Plates
6-0 Doors, 1 to 6, 2 to 7, 3 to 8, 4 to 9, 5 to 0, x to y, x is the switch that opens y.
"  " Open space, just a floor.
* The finish Line

So you throw a switch, making the MAGMA start flowing down the corridor hitting the two pressure plates, opening the two doors to start a new flow of MAGMA.  This hits plate 3, which releases door 8 opening the MAGMA flow to open all other doors, hitting the FLOOD THE WORLD door last, which opens, flooding the connected corridor at the *, WITH MAGMA.

Take this theory, multiply it by 9001, and then you have a megaproject time bomb.

Belongs in this thread.

But where does the magma come from to flow through the 9 and 0 doors?  Do you mean to flood the world beforehand?

Andir and Roxorius "should" die.

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Learn2read ascii art.

~ = magma. The magma flows outward, toward the *, not inward, from the *.
