3 tries. I did love that level, because one part of the path seems "mandatory" to happen at a certain point of time, but in the end, nope! It can happen at another time... LOL... At least it makes sense to me :P
Now, I proved to myself, that luck (or a certain state of brain, perhaps?) has a big role in how fast the solution is found, namely: when I 1st saw it, today, it took me 2 - 3 tries and I got it. Didn't find it complicated, at all. Later, I played some other short levels, then came back to this one and it took me over 5 tries, for sure. :O :/ Now: am I the only one, who experiences things like that?
GREAT level, with many possibilities, that can really confuse.

EDIT: Srry, bout the confusion, here. I did not get it in 2 - 3 tries, it took much more. I got distressed and confused it with another level, while writting the first comment.
Once again: this is trully amazing, to me!
