A number within parentheses works the same way; [2 :2] would mean Chip also waits [2] at this location on the way back from the moves in parentheses. Note that the waits do not have to be of equal duration as long as they are on the same spot. | A number within parentheses works the same way; [2 :2] would mean Chip also waits [2] at this location on the way back from the moves in parentheses.

All of these can also be separated by commas when many dead ends run into each other: (3D [L, 4R, 6D L]) = 3D L 5R 4L 6D LR 9U. Like parentheses in math problems, they can continue to combine themselves to infinity, but when this is difficult or merely more troublesome than it’s worth, | All of these can also be separated by commas when many dead ends run into each other: (3D [L, 4R, 6D L]) = 3D L 5R 4L 6D LR 9U. Like parentheses in math problems, they can continue to combine themselves to infinity, but when this is difficult or merely more troublesome than it’s worth, bases are used for extremely busy hubs. | ||

A mixture can also be used, depending on which events are seen as important in a specific level. Particularly momentous events would be specified in parentheses to accent their importance. | A mixture can also be used, depending on which events are seen as important in a specific level.
