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! !!
Not sure if I have beaten this before.
I wonder why there aren't as many comments here?
Now, I guess I can appreciate the beauty of the two levels, just small changes can lead to another possibility!
(14-8-2008) 2 off and 4 off in different ways.
(10 years ago) After 4 years, I finally found this bizarre path - can't understand how this possibility saves steps
(9-9-2022) Coming back to it after so many years. Still lots of failed attempts to get 383. Finally had some idea on what the key is and solved it. Now I can understand why it saves steps, but I can still feel how this trick surprised me in the past.
