The Dragon is late pregnant and wouldn't let me near. ;) I had to be very persistant to catch her (yes, it's obviously a ''she'' dragon) at 172. After clearing, I don't know, what I was doing before (to keep getting 188s and 186s, LOL). :))
All in all, it's a cute baby, on the way. :)))
A very clever construction that presents a large optimization option that is pretty easily overlooked as well as a decent 2-off. Satisfying to work through.
A fantastic level! Goes to my ''mind- jewellery collection, right away. :)
I was at 160, for almost half a year. Could not solve it, no way. Just couldn't see anything better than 160. Today, I suddenly got a new idea and first came 2 off, then, very soon after that, got it to 154. Great path and a very nice 2 cut (for people like me, who tend to make same mistakes, costing them 2 moves, LOL). :)
