- It's pretty easy to get the second lemming to leave some pillar on both
- sides. Just position the mouse pointer slightly above the pillar and
- rapidly click until the second lemming drops on by and turns into a digger.
- Works for me about 95% of the time. It's at least as easy as it is to
- get the first lemming to start building close enough to the edge of the
- first pillar so he can drop onto the second pillar.
