Finally cut the 2 steps... I needed fresh mind to realize that only one section allows for more optimization. Now for me, this is a case of "seems longer, is shorter".
Good god. There are 4 completely unique setups that yield 2 offs here and this was just one of those moments where the solution was the absolute last thing I found. Brutally the 2 cut only works in one of those setups. Thank god there aren't more blocks!
Really difficult but that solution is so satisfying. I actually found the path quite logical - there were a couple ideas from the 120 paths that I was trying to use and they all work together perfectly in the 116.
The other day, when I tried this, I was at 150+. Today, it came in a few tries.
Very interesting structure and the path to be found. 127 seems so easy, after solving, but was hard for me to see. :)
Amazing path. Lots of competing ideas make it hard to find the right approach to each section, but the final path is very logical and well thought out.
