For example, if you modified the original level by removing a mirror,
it might actually make the level longer (even though there are fewer
mirrors). On another note, I've determined the length of your modified
long week level. Counting each time the mirror goes from L15 to C15 as
one cycle, there are 24835 cycles. The number of moves is
3 + 25 * (6 - 5 + 8 * 24835) + 14
Therefore, 4,967,042 moves, 24 shots. That's quite high, considering
the level doesn't use trinary counter or twin counter methods.
