I also did stupid thing in my first few attempts, which lead to 2 off.
But I can see SirDavid's 2 off is another thing.
Always appreciate yfkd, who did not do stupid things.
9 tries. Fun level! I'm really not sure what the 2-off trick you are all seeing is, I just made a stupid mistake (going around a block instead of through it). Nonetheless a good level.
