-'''And Then There Were... Four?''' is the 48th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]]. It was designed by [[Eric Schmidt]]. The highly cryptic level name and hint refer to the [[fireball]]s in the level, with the title itself being a reference to Genesis' 1978 album titled "...And Then There Were Three". The trick to this level, according to the hint, is that the fourth fireball to hit the [[force floor]]s locates a secret.
+'''And Then There Were... Four?''' is the 48th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]]. The highly cryptic level name and [[hint]] refer to the [[fireball]]s in the level, with the title itself being a reference to Genesis' 1978 album titled ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And_Then_There_Were_Three... ...And Then There Were Three...]''. The trick to this level, according to the hint, is that the fourth fireball to hit the [[force floor]]s locates a secret.
 Move directly to the hint; from here it is possible to wait [1] or [2], though waiting [2] now is preferable (and readable) since the next waiting period will be either [3] or [2], the latter of which is a pattern. Dive ahead of the fireball in the third column, and L from the very bottom is a hidden pair of [[fire boots]].
-While this is a buried [[item]], it's easy to find. Anything hidden under 13 out of the 100 squares safe for [[Chip]] without fire boots (the force floors, [[thin wall]]s and hint) is unreachable, another five are the fireballs and Chip which obviously hide nothing, and 52 more tiles will be touched by the fireballs, with anything buried removed by [[transparency]] rules. Step back onto the boot to collect it after the fireball moves away in another [2], and then negotiate the [[fire]] [[maze]] to reach the [[exit]].

-== Lynx ==
+== Fix for Lynx ==
-This level is unplayable in [[Lynx]]. To make the level playable, simply move the fire boots to the top layer; Lynx mechanics, including the removal of the initial free turn, will [[equalizer|equalize]] the two routes.
+In [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2 (Lynx)|CCLXP2]], in order to recreate the original level as closely as possible, a checkerboard of [[red button]]s overlay the main area, and instead of a hidden pair of fire boots, there is a red button that must be hit twice to open a [[toggle wall]] at (26, 0); and ''then'' the player can get the fire boots.
