Idea definitely feels a little forced, but I tangled myself into thinking I had an ordering problem when I didn't. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
About what I expected when I first scanned the level. Tried a few other options but nothing else seemed to have potential. Optimization wasn't super satisfying to me but there are some nice cuts.
(11 years ago) Fantastic ! Such purity in view and such confusion in bringing the problem that seems simple and easy to a solution. I got 50 off in 37 tries. Will keep trying (wanna give 10 stars, already). Edit: cca 40 off, in 40 tries. Edit 2: 18 off in 168 tries. Edit: 509 tries and SOLVED! :)

EDIT 2023, 23rd Jan. - rebeaten. Not sure how many tries it took me, this time. And I was 18 off, again. Completely forgot my solution, so was going with the same (wrong) logic.
This is one of THE MOST tricky levels, I've ever seen. Psichollogically tricky. Which is probably the reason it does not have many clears (7, at the moment).
It goes straight to my ''mind jewellery (legendary levels)'' collection.
A real masterpiece! ! !
Ive always thought this was a great level, but one of the few masters that you could solve with some guess test and revise. Like duke says, only so many options!
Can't be more happy to beat this level. When I first found PP2, this level was like a boss to me - it is a Raszlo level and a yfkd record - must be very difficult! I tried it several times and was very far off, and put this level aside. Today, I beat it in 10 tries. Time is really a useful tool! :D
Def not as straight forward as it first looks - 30+ moves off until I chose a completely different path. Got down to 8 off, just kept shaving moves off - down to 4 off then 2 off then YIPPEE !! Nice level ....
