I was able to eliminate a lot of potential shortcuts but there are still so many paths that get you close to 383. After a break I finally had a new idea of what could be faster and it ended up being the correct path. Amazing level.
Got it on first try, because before to start, I noticed that one directional block is placed in such a way that it could be the key to a major simplification. I tried it and I was right. It was the winning route. Fun!
Finally I got it. Had somewhere in the memory, that I was already trying, looong (years) ago. But since I haven't written a comment, I am pretty sure, I haven't succeeded, back then.
I took 17 possibilities, today. First try I was light years away, then I came 6 off. Got kind of stuck in that, but later on decided there was nothing left to optimize on my path and started looking for some other path. I soon got to 2 off, on the new path, but finding the last two was sooooooo difficult. Then my last idea what to try, appeared and I was sooo scared it would prove short, again. But it didn't. So I now feel like an olympic champion. :)))
What a SPLENDID level! Goes to my ''Jewelery collection'', right away. And I wanna give it eleven stars! !!
