I'm at 150 with two slightly different routes, but for now blind to any cut I could do... That will be work!
** one day later **
hahaha! I saw it too! Now let's optimize...
** one hour later **
2 off... I was hoping to avoid that...
** 2 hours later**
Got it! The 2 off wasn't fun though, because once more a case of "eventually it works but I don't know why". I couldn't identify the 2 off trick between the winning route and the variations I tried before.
This level can really trip you around! :)) I know I'm not the only one, who got caught here. Was stuck on 150, for quite a while. Then I finally saw something and started to come closer, mostly in steps by 2. Am currently still 2 off, hoping to find the last two steps (for 136).
Hardcore pipelining, among other things. :)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EDIT (about an hour later): Finally found the last 2 steps (thought I've tried that before, but obviously not. I must have, though. While still having the other combination, the one for 150).
This is just wonderful! Soooo deceiving! :))
P. S. This level taught me how bringing a certain block in a certain position can prove longer in a certain set up of other blocks, and shorter in another set up.
Pretty crazy pipelining adventure for me, and I like the beginning as well, where you're figuring out what's for what, and how to even like, win, lol. Very much enjoyed from start to finish.
Looking forward to catching the next Pokemon.
