(6-12-2022) Seeing this level being discussed before and it showed up on my search page, decided to give it a try.
Yesterday found the 422, then got 420.
Today found another way of 420, cut down to alazeh's 418.
Wondering if I should try something else, but no more idea at the moment...
Too many holes...

(7-12-2022) Actually in my 418 it was quite close already, I was just doing stupid thing that I thought would save 2 steps.
Great find by everyone!
IDK how I feel about this level. it like... doesn't feel like it makes sense because it goes against like... core pipelining rules but here we are 6 steps under a record that stood for 14 years.
I saw this because of comments and decided to give it a try, though I sometimes need a break from LHLs. I managed to 422 it, quite fast, But was kind of stuck there, then. And desperate. From this desperation I gave it another try, though I thought it was stupid. And: here we goo! :)
I think it's a good level, the best thing about it for me here was that solution TRULY surprised me. Would NEVER expect it needs to be done in such manner.
