After having a Skype conversation with Josh, I thought of making a top ten list for the greatest hints in my level sets. I compiled a lot of ones that were at least mildly entertaining, but there was no way I'd be able to narrow them down to ten, so here are all of them. This list also shows how ridiculous I was when designing TCCLP as a 12-year-old.
... Only if you don't slaughter him or his farm animal associates until their time comes! (TS0, level 9, You Can Lead a Horse to Water)
Red with a twist. Orange of the fire. Green of tourmaline. And mellow yellow hello, hello. (TS0, level 14, Colors for Extreme)
WORM BAGGED!! (... all blue walls are real) (TS0, level 19, Toxic Caves)
That's not really the exit. You aren't really Chip McCallahan. This is all a dream. (TS0, level 34, Repugnant Nonsense)
The mall is expensive, but you have to impress Melinda! Steal everything from the mall then hide in the maintenence room. (TS0, level 35, Rob the Mall)
Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful. (TS0, level 39, Hate This and I'll Love You)
I want to be something, before I die. (TS1, level 25, Sokoban Memory)
You've reached the secret room! Unfortunately, it has no purpose. (TS1, level 30, Pushy)
Well, that socket didn't do much, now did it? (TS1, level 38, Gimmick Isle)
Kraken sure is useful. (TS1, level 39, Release the Kraken)
Smile! The Illuminati are watching you! (TS2, level 3, The Illuminati)
I purposely misspelled "Block". (TCCLP, level 5, Blokdance I)
Dear Chip, I'm sorry I went crazy with chips. Melinda (TCCLP, level 6, Crazy With Chips and Monsters)

The hint is here just because I want you to start over. (TCCLP, level 118, Zoo II)
I tried to copy the real "Morton" but I messed up. I didn't feel like redoing it. (TCCLP, level 148, Invisible Morton)
Welcome to part two of chip's challenge. I just wanted to keep on adding levels. (TCCLP, level 151, Little Tricky Key Puzzle)
Dreaming of CC and not something else is pretty sad, but anyway, this is what I remember me dreaming once. (TCCLP, level 173, My Strange Dream)
Use correct timing. I also ment to not use a "C" (TCCLP, level 176, Blockdance II)
Ummm... I can't think of a good hint. (TCCLP, level 222, Chip Wars Level 222: Attack of the Walker Clones)
They're just force floors, you can trust them. (TCCLP, level 292, Oh, Blocks)
110 spaces in 5 seconds! That's impossible, unless Chip uses steroids. (TCCLP, level 312, Chip On Steroids)
Mmmmmm... (TCCLP, level 337, Tacoban)
NOTE: This level is unorginal and may cause rare but serious side effects like dissiness, nausea, or high blood pressure. (TCCLP, level 341, Gravitational Force)
You kids like jazz? (TCCLP2, level 12, SOKOBAN MEMORY)
I'm a magician, Spencer, a furious magician. (TCCLP2, level 17, GOODS)

One day I will stop making multiple tank glitch levels, but Satan must instruct me to do so. (TCCLPRejects, level 87, Satan Is My Only True Friend)
So, this came about because of seeing 2 things while looking through some old posts: Miika's original Familiar Terrain thread (really cool idea), and Miika's post guessing how many safely steppable tiles there are in CC1 (around 30%, from the Pointless Trivia thread, though I think it's more like 50%...and we'll find out before too long since I'm counting via chip count feature on an edited version of the set). Anyway, this resulted in having to try some unorthodox things in various levels to try to reach places you wouldn't normally be able to.
This brought about this image. Let's see if anyone can figure out how I got here (Hornlitz already knows).
Yes, this is the stock version of The Last Laugh from CC1. Any other 'familiar terrain' puzzles from any official set (or custom set, even!) of either Miika's original type (show image, which level?) or this new twist (show level, but how to get there?) are welcome.
Good evening, Chipsters! Here's a chance for you to participate in sending in your top 50 CC levels privately on all four official sets to determine a consensus of the best CC levels by the CC Zone community.
How this will work is that each Chipster submits a top 50 for each official set - CC1, CCLP1, CCLP2, and CCLP3.When the final results are in, the top 50 lists will merge together and create an overall best CC level list.
UPDATE - After talking with some Chipsters on Skype, the final decision is ALL Chipsters are allowed to participate, regardless of their own levels being in specific CCLPs or not.
The following levels are NOT allowed to be included in any top 50 lists at all -
Chip's Challenge 1
LESSON 1
LESSON 2
LESSON 3
LESSON 4
LESSON 5
LESSON 6
LESSON 7
LESSON 8
Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1 Key Pyramid
Slip and Slide
Present Company
Block Party
Facades
When Insects Attack
Under Pressure
Switcheroo
Swept Away
As these results will be better and more surprising if you don't make them public, could you please login on CC Zone and Private Message your list(s) to member "CC Zone" by clicking HERE. You may do multiple levelset lists in the same PM if you wish. The deadline for the final results has not yet been determined. If you participate, a CC Zone award will be waiting for you. Thank you!
UPDATE - Submit all four top 50 CC levels lists (CC1, CCLP1, CCLP2, and CCLP3) to gain the privilege of being able to check the rankings of your favourite CC levels every day!
The CC Zone guides section has been added! You can use this to create your own walkthroughs for your own levelsets and other tutorials/guides related to Chip's Challenge with this feature.
