> Hi, Secret Squirrel!In my opinion, you did the most difficult part. When I first looked at the level, I thought I only had to use the "stop without breaking the thin ice" trick for the last one. But looking at it now, I see the trick needs to be done more than once. For the most part, I reached your screenshot position in 31m, 41s, partly because it is more efficient to shoot the AT to P16 later. In your description, you use I7 when it is actually J7. In my solution, I did use the P10 mirror. Since the AT at P13 would be in the way, I put that inside first and the movable block next. That meant I had to do a lot of shuffling inside with very little room. Everything is needed. So it was difficult and took me a number of attempts, but I found that easier than getting to where you currently are in your screenshot. My final score was 1 move less than Secret Squirrel's, with the same number of shots.
