Your levels have a unique ability to make me feel catastrophically stupid.
Edit: ...what the ****? Why? What? I'd give this 0 stars for how annoying this was but I respect palms 5 star level building skill.
I find this level really good and interesting. I had no hidden specific trick. I just had a "normal" 2 off that was due to the ordering of two sequences of moves (to exchange order gave me the 2 cut).
