Didn't take long. The cut is incredibly good!
Somehow, I was on a badly optimized version of the final path, because at no point did I fundamentally change my path! All I did was optimize straight to 131! But now I'm kind of curious to know what the optimal 133 looks like... Can it be forced?
Did it fast enough to demote it from Professor to PhD by doing it in a few tries. Found it pretty easy to optimize, but very fun.
I didn't have any trouble with it. In fact, it plays directly into the strengths of my playstyle; "chunk optimization".
"One little mistake" strikes again! Upon realizing my mistake... This level has like a billion solutions. I would love a refined version of this that only has one solution!
I was making one small mistake again! This puzzle isn't nearly as hard as it looks, but it does take some looking.
There is a certain logic to this level that's quite appealing to me, but I don't want to hint towards what it is.
Solved it fast enough to demote it from professor to PhD. This is a pretty strong puzzle where most of its difficulty is the first solve and not the optimization.
I kept making the same mistake, but now that I have corrected it, I see all of the 124s. Nice level!
I found the CarlAndrey route before the Reachy route. I found it instantly as soon as I made a certain realization. Not entirely sure what the original route might be.
