Tricky level indeed. 12 away for awhile, couldn't figure out if I was missing a big cut or my path wasn't in the right order. Finally figured out that I was missing a big cut... Embarrassingly, I was hung up on the simplest lock pattern (Level 30: Link To The Past coming back to haunt my newbie self) IYKYK :P
(14 years ago) Several distinct 263s and several distinct 265s. The order become more logical if you try more. The 2-off is strange and can cause trouble. But my previous 2-cut disappears after your change =P Incredible if everything was intended.

(13-11-2022) Replaying this, the right middle part gave me most trouble.

I loved that board! I got to 2 off in 160 tries and needed about 40 more to cut the last two, not on the side I would have expected. I did not see several paths. For me it was only one that I optimized. Great level.
This is a great level, indeed, with so many possibilities. 282 tries couldn't bring me but 8 off, 283 try was lucky for me and I discovered a 2 off. Will try to find those 2, as well. :) Edit: Yessssssssssss! I got it. In 286 tries!
BIG EDIT My review was getting too long. Basically, Nielssss set 273, I set 269, yfkd set 265, and I set 261. I didn't intend the specific cuts, but it was intended that this route would be possible- I got lucky that there were lots of 2 and 4 offs though.
