Thanks Alazeh! I was stuck and read your comment and that made it all, as it forced me to check for different possibilities. I won on my first try after that... :D
Wow, this one was the most difficult to figure out, for me. I was always 2 of (or - sometimes - more) and with each try more certain, there must be some other way to do it (and that it was not a question of optimizing). That proved to be correct assumption, in the end. GREAT level!
