How did you even conceive that kind of cut? In my whole life I would've been able to implement it. Definitely among the three best levels from the 2020 generation. 105 tries.
(4 months ago) Gosh, this eats my nerves. ;) I can't seem to be able to find 52, only a bunch of various 54s, again and again. Feeling kind of stupid, because it does not look very difficult. Will keeep trying (and not sure, if I can edit this comment, later; the last time I tried to edit a certain comment, it wouldn't let me, the old text was gone ...).

EDIT 2022, 26th Nov. I then solved it, but obviously didn't edit the comment. So I am bringing the stars to this Force, today. :) Was really hard for me to see.
Great level. Started with confidence, entered a phase of grave concern, became riddled with doubt, almost lapsed into despair, but then...a dramatic epiphany. Well done!
Fun design, nice trick, took me many attempts. Found myself thinking things like "OK I've ruled out column A, let's try column B... now I've really ruled out column B, I'll go back to A... but now I've really really really ruled out A, so back to B again" - except this was happening with 8 columns
Glorious. Did anyone else try them all and then have a laugh?
The correct path to me feels a bit like a optical illusion. I'm surprised this can be done with just pp1 blocks. I was able to count out the solution but I still can't really "see" it even when I know what it is.
While some of the options can be easily discarded (column 2 lol) solving through the more promising ones is interesting, and the correct path is surprisingly sneaky.
