Cool pipelining.
Lol, there's also this thing where potentially, if the player went through levels 6,7,8 first, there is a weird dynamic / trap that really pays off here.
The upper part was kind of easy for me, but the lower part was a different story. I first had only a 170 path, later I found THREE different 168s, and then with a really strange combination got the 166. This was really VERY WEIRD. LOL :))
