: Ok, i just did a little research on this subject and discovered the
: following: If you examine the level Bob-B-Q using Pfhorte, Hamish is
: right....there are 31 different possible Bob placements. And the listed
: initial counts for the "monsters" Civilian Person, Science
: Person, Security Person, and Engineering Person are 7,7,7,6 respectively
: for a total of 27. If we examine The Rose in the same way, there are 35
: different possible Bob placements. The corresponding initial counts for
: the same 4 groups are listed as 15,7,10,3 or a total of 35. To check this
: out even further, i actually modified The Rose and removed all enemies
: except for the Bobs. This made it easier to kill and count the Bobs as i
: progressed through the level. I played the level 3 times and counted
: exactly 35 Bobs each time. So unless removing the enemies has an effect on
: the number of Bobs, it seems to me that there are in fact 35 Bobs each
: time you play The Rose. This would mean that 18 must be saved in order to
: successfully complete the level.
Good to know that someone is doing some research around here. I agree with John. After playing The Rose a number of times over the last few days all 35 Bob placements seem to be filled everytime. So 35 Bobs it is. To succeed you need to keep 50% alive. Not sure if this is 17 or 18 though. Obviously to be sure you should keep eight alive outside the Pistol (8 Bobs) and secret terminal room (2 Bobs). Good luck.
