How did you even conceive that kind of cut? In my whole life I would've been able to implement it. Definitely among the three best levels from the 2020 generation. 105 tries.
(4 months ago) Gosh, this eats my nerves. ;) I can't seem to be able to find 52, only a bunch of various 54s, again and again. Feeling kind of stupid, because it does not look very difficult. Will keeep trying (and not sure, if I can edit this comment, later; the last time I tried to edit a certain comment, it wouldn't let me, the old text was gone ...).

EDIT 2022, 26th Nov. I then solved it, but obviously didn't edit the comment. So I am bringing the stars to this Force, today. :) Was really hard for me to see.
