I think I got it by PURE luck, in 3rd try. Am having some thoughts WHY I was solving the way I was, but cannot say that I was sure or that I really understand. With me and holes it's mostly just trying. Huh.
I just beat this and, while intellectually I know why that is 2 steps shorter, in a more real sense I have no idea why that is 2 steps shorter. Long hole level black magic, I tell you.
