Aside from the removal of a [[glider]] and a second [[teeth]], Totally Unfair is identical to [[Totally Fair]], except for one 'small' thing: Chip can't walk into the teeth area, such that he must work completely blind - and in only 60 seconds: | ||

Fortunately, [[Melinda]]'s helpful hint in a special dispatch will greatly help Chip. While "sjum" in the level [[hint]] may not immediately be recognized as the [[password]] to Totally Fair, a [[special dispatch]] (which has not been seen since [[Glut]]) confirms a connection between Totally Unfair and Totally Fair: | Fortunately, [[Melinda]]'s helpful hint in a special dispatch will greatly help Chip.

<blockquote>''Dear Chip, This level will seem more fair if you take the time to read the hint. This is a level that could become Totally Fair! In the meantime, Chip, it's important for you to know that when you get caught in those bear [[trap]]s, it causes me pain, too!

(In the original Lynx version and its ports, all hints are in uppercase only, making the 'sjum' reference slightly less obscure). | |||
Even with this connection established, Totally Unfair remains extremely hard and will still be worthy of a 5-star difficulty rating. Since Chip cannot enter the teeth room, to change it would make the level impossible, so it is obvious that it must be the same as before. A subtle hint as to where to move vertically can be seen in the [[wall]] pieces between the chips and the teeth room: | Even with this connection established, Totally Unfair remains extremely hard and will still be worthy of a 5-star difficulty rating.

The route this time through is 6L to take three chips and set the teeth moving, and then 5U 18R 16U RUR [4] 8D R [8] 8U R [8] 6D [8] 5U [6] R. Chip is now free to take the chips, go back to the exit, and complete the level. | |||
