Trevor points it out in his LP. Basically you have to get lucky with the monster collisions or avoiding them at cue to reach the end. I still have no idea how I did that and Lot In Life.

Only if you lack patience. (and a decent strategy)
Divide and Conquer, on the other hand, allows a more systematic approach. If anything, Caves is more annoying.

Nope, I disagree, the pointed thing in the video was inability to figure out the proper strategy, because Caves is not plain melee nor monster mayhem, there's a proper strategy involved.
And geez I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread yet!
We'll just go with some that I didn't like:
-Lead us not into temptation
-Same Game
-Which one next?
-Color Wheel
-everything above Waterslide (excluded)
-many more, not including Bump and Run nor Incident on a Bridge nor Caves nor any Ida level

Probably one of my favourite CCLP3 levels... One person's trash is another's treasure i guess. Also, I thought Caves was a pretty good level.
As for least favourites, I would probably have to include in no particular order:
Patchwork - This level just doesn't agree with me. I swear it edits itself each time I come back to it...
Which One Next? - Reasons already mentioned, it gets old pretty fast
Triple Maze - Somehow I always miss exactly one chip, and of course, it's a different one every time
Old Frog - The fact that it's a work of art aside, I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I'll ever be able to beat this level
CC1: 5,954,550 (completed)

--- CCLP2: 5,936,410 (148 levels completed)

1 Which one next?
2 Patchwork
3 Snakes and Ladders
4 Toggle Bust
5 Bustin' out
6 Pearl Diving
7 Yet Another Yet Another Puzzle
8 Bug Arranging
9 Jumble II
10 Spiral
11 Lazy Hourglass
And those are the only levels I didn't like.
Why is there so much hate for the difficult levels? I disliked the repetitive and boring levels, which are all pretty easy. Also, I agree with what Rock and random 8 said about caves. You just need to calm down and look for a solution instead of pushing blocks without any strategy and hoping you'll get lucky. Same goes with Lot in life and Divide and conquer, I thought everyone found those levels easy (and I'm not saying they're fun because they are easy).

Can everyone please stop hating on Which One Next? I don't see anything wrong with that level!

It's not against the levels, it's against forcing players to play them. From what I understand, a CCLP is supposed to contain a wide variety of the best of everything that's been made around. To me, the severe lack of variety in CCLP3 destroys the individuality of every of those difficult puzzles. I made that point ages ago and I still stand by it. Take them away or space some of them and I'll gladly attempt one someday ― for pure fun and as a sort of huge challenge. But force me to play 20+ of them back to back...
Let's put ourselves in the shoes of a purist, this guy eats those puzzles for breakfast. Suppose you finish CCLP3, the flavour of everything else, and you go "I want more". You really want to play something harder or equivalent at your leisure. What's left? You've already cleared the Frog level! You're probably going to be deceived by everything else: "This doesn't top the Frog one." I guess you'll probably end up insane...
Now suppose you're not a crazy individual who absolutely need to play the hardest puzzles around, yet you want to see more. You're able to solve those, but either you don't have the time nor the patience, or you simply enjoy other elements of the game too. How forlorn...
Whatever man

No.
If you simply keep going left and save the green key for last, it's a no-brainer.

I was the one who discovered that bust... or at least the one who fixed the difficulty on ChipWiki.
Even then it still makes getting the bold time a real challenge
