yes that's the one!  I almost opened the doors w/o bricks too but decided to come back.  I wouldn't start over you had all that magic dance stuff in place at the bottom.

I just weeded one of these out.  If you see the wife go up but you can't see where they go, don't open any doors without bricks.  Usually these are cleverly designed to make you think the wife is up top so you'll open the doors below you and BAM.

That's the thing iceman.  You don't need the dog to go UP to hit the buttons because the combo lock was a paradox circuit.  But I bet what happened was you had all buttons OFF and pulled the dog up to turn at least one of them on, which would open the vault room. 

Would work work best would be to just force you to destroy the electric floor to return.

haaha nice work!!  definitely the combo lock flawa that allowed you to return to it was a problem. 

Let me ask you, when you robbed, why the heck was the door not open immediately?  Something weird going on there.

Shit I ended up dying when I did the self test due to being in a hurry.

made a house this morning and its still there!

so far it is interesting.  I don't quite understand the mechancis but, I found a complete undefended house with 4k earlier and a painting.. sory whoever you are.  Anyways, I didn't have much time so I built a big combo lock that controlled the power to a hallway that led to the vault and filled it with CADS.  It was pretty hilarious because the value went up to 9k before somebody sawed their way to the combination and stole it all by the time I got home.

yeah its obvious lots of people use duel accounts.  I make a starter house and within 2 minutes a person comes in and dies on purpose leaving a 5000 bounty.  10 seconds later another comes to collect it.  I suppose that they could just be friends though.

you may have died right when I died.  What was my house like?  I'm sure I was him that was me in the tape

haha that hurts to watch my house had like 56k put into it and about 14k in the vault

here's an annoying 1000$ design that does decent but not as good as my first I think.  More surprise traps at least.  It may not be quite right as I cannot test it, but in theory any bugs could easily be worked out.

the combo lock commit button is the wife, which once she has seen you, you need to have entered the combo & you must immediately go.

This is just my thoughts but let me know what you think.

Pretty unlikely, first, they are forced to step down by the wife if they want to solve, otherwise they must leave.  At this point they have to double step in 3 places.  They'll never know if they succeeded or not until they turn the corner, by which point they will either get lucky or die.  The probability could be like 1/6*1/4*1/2 = 1/48.  So about a 2% chance.  In practice I find many untooled suicide robbers do not even try to do the dance they just run to their deaths.

How likely a wife-killing run is to succeed (5 meat, 1 club)

obviously not because she has a shotgun

3.
How likely a tooled run is to succeed (2 saws, 2 meat, 2 water, 1 brick, 1 wire cutter)

You wouldn't be able to succeed with these tools.  4 bricks for sure.  with a wirecutter and 3 waters yes but you need to know when to use the cutter.

I'm not sure I understand how you send the cats??  Do they have to be spaced apart for the doggy commit?

Also, as for the wife defense, couldn't somebody just pull all the dogs out to the enterance where there is lots of space and use dog food.  Then club all the dogs by the panic button, shoot the wife?  That is of course assuming they knew the layout.
