I can come up with some, surely.  Perhaps a

"SPOILER WARNING (Junkbot game hints - STOP if you don't want them)"

would be in order.















Such as Running the Gauntlet in 2.

Get him moving immediately, don't let him miss a step.  Let him run for it a
couple times and you'll see how relatively little he has to worry about.  He
gets a third of the way before any eyebots see him.  Most that do are not
lined up to come through to the bottom.  Those that come through turn
immediately and will have their forward progress blocked by any brick on the
underside of the grey bricks.

One 2x3 centered under the (I think) third grey brick from the right is all
you need (after moving both 1x2s out of the way).


The Long Umbrella is another where the name and/or hint can be misleading.
About one game in eight he will make it all the way to the can without
getting dripped on.   He seems to invariably get hit while emptying the can
but it takes fewer moves to shield the last drip than to cover them all.
