It turns out you can softly tap the switches in 86-3 that release the door and Thwumps, so you can take your time clearing each segment. One switch is larger than the other, apparently. Check it out!

George Washington was the first president.
Okay, I'll buy it.
There are billions of stars in our galaxy.
I believe that one too.
Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492.
He sure did.
Careful, sir, the plate is hot.
I'm going to test this one out for myself.

Yes, this is already known. (As an aside: dox, you sounded a little bit huffy there, just FYI) However, its been pretty well decided that doing it this way is harder than actually doing it with triggering the thwumps.

[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.
[16:29] <@golfkid> lol
[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple

Basically, if you're trying to highscore the level, you'll end up going much faster than the thwumps -- and the boost you get from triggering them is helpful anyway.
