(13 years ago) Not very sure why that saved 2 moves ... Very good level ! Found some 4 offs and 2 offs and in 99th try solved it ! :) This is my second level solved in master Universe.
********************
EDIT 2023, 29th June: it took me 96 tries and a loooot of undoing, to re-beat this contruction. I've remembered only that it had given me much trouble, way back, haven't born even a small piece of solution in mind (but did remember some combinations that I had tried). After getting this feeling that I've exhausted every possibility without success, I suddenly had another idea, today. And that one needed optimizing, which took me some more (not so many) tries. So happy to have solved it. It is really very tricky, this one. So many options, 2 offs, 4 offs (and more offs). It still surprizes me, that the existing 119 solution is faster than some of my 2 offs, here. But that's the nature of the game. :))
Hmmm .... I wonder if it's possible to be 2 short and on a completely wrong path ??
*Scratches head*
1st EDIT - and the answer to that is "YES"...... I've got 2 quite different paths - both 2 off .....
2nd EDIT - SNEAKY - I like it.
Very amazing path!
I have tried doing things like that before at the beginning, but just denied the possibility as it is far from the lowest steps.
Simply a marvellous way to cut down the steps. I don't think it's a 3 too :P
Have yet to figure out the trick to get the last two moves.. had more trouble with this than a few of the \"hard\" levels.
After 168 attempts, it earns a 5 in my eyes.
Real challenging one! First the right path has to be found and once so far, it must still be optimized by finding out the proper order to do each step of it! 3 points only?
