I loved it!! It combines all what I like: Order we do things has an impact, locks, enough freedom to try lot of variants... I found two diff. 2 off paths. As for the last two moves: Nothing subtle in my case: I was simply doing a shortcut that was not cutting... LOL... Typical!
** 8 years later **
I was stuck 4 off, until I realized that a different ordering allows me to spare 2 steps. I then struggled at 2 off, because in my case, the cut was well hidden, caused by a minor variation of how I go by somewhere in the middle of the board.
Such fun!
Great PP1 level! Saw the big shortcut right away but there are still a lot of options for paths. Found a different 2 off before seeing the correct route.
(7 years ago) I like the upper left part and the area around the starting point, different parts of the level are quite balanced and gives different choices. I had fun working through the level step by step. Well done! :D

(13-11-2022) At this current moment, I have finally completed all Hi19's PP1 levels in Pathology. Really thank you for the great PP1 levels that brought me fun in the past years!
10 tries so far - 1 2 off found...time to find the others
edit: done at 18 tries. Was a simple 2 cut, probably the same one as others. Didn't find any of the false 2 off paths - just figured I had the right path already based on the comments since I already had a great trick found...:p
once again i set the step record on an amazing level was like 20 off before my amazing recovery. i am a beast!!!!!!!!!. hahaha love saying that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutley brilliant solution. You had me very confused for several days. I kept getting like 50 off xD. Couldn't find the shortcut for the life of me.
