I made it to the four ***** yesterday, then I realized I had to get back to work. Of course, I did go back for a few failed attempts at it.

I've been stuck on the 4 ***** for about an hour now

The others have been a challenge but this one has me stumped.

Think conveyor or sled...both approaches work. I can post an example as I finally made it past that level. And discovered a lot of people did the same thing I had.

The big ball, my approach was to go under.

I got it to work one time, but when I retried it, it wouldn't work until I refined it.
