OMG - this level gave me a trully hard time. Couldn't come closer than 6 off, like forever. Then discovered a two off, but still needed quite a few more tries to solve it. Great level! :)
Incredible! I had it done in about 50 tries without to notice I had it done.... And I spent 30 tries trying to open a lock that was not necessary at all! LOL! Good trick. Got me. Now aside of that trick, the rest was straight forward.
I did love it! Because it offers so many possibilities, all crazy, bringing 2 or 4 off... And the one bringing to winning is not the craziest of what I have tried! LOL. That was fun.
Somewhere along the 60th try I accidentally slipped my finger, doing something I didn't mean to do. And it just so happened to be the right idea, once I thought about it...kinda ashamed of hitting upon the big trick accidentally, but I'll take it. 64 tries, over the years :-)
I like to have again levels requiring to prepare path, with back and forth. I was missing that. Now, as I was testing order and different variants in different locations, I suddenly got it done!!! Can't recall what path it was... LOL
I loved it, because the path is simple, if we achieve to force or mind to ignore the obvious cases, that are simply not the correct ones and just available to hide the tree in the forest... So good...
Have needed years (with breaks) and over 1000 tries to do it. Had right path but kept being 2 off. All this time was trying to cut them on right side of the board. And they were... on left side! Banging my head on table...
