Now that I think about it, the theoretical minimum could be slightly less than 40 if the triplex bonds for all 6 products were made before attaching the water atoms.

This is the best I could do for low-cycles: 790 / 43 / 178 [imgur.com]
Theoretical minimum is 40.

There is no reason to use track. 110/675/50 https://i.imgur.com/HobCjKa.gifv

This was way more difficult than I expected. There are a lot of promising configurations for calcification/ duplication that get very close to working.

I think I made the cheapest solution possible. 125/604/87

I was finishing this and completely forgot that the input was of 2 air nucleus

@Alcator: Oh, I know. I was just describing the way it tends to fall out in my own designs--area and cost at the expense of time.

@Stupid Snake: That is actually natural - those criteria are working against each other. It's usually not possible to have both low cost and low cycles, or low area and low cycles.
To get "top percentile" in each chart, you need multiple different solutions for each puzzle.

Love those solutions. Mahashma, I have the same problem. In most of the main game puzzles, my solutions hit the peak or better on the histograms for size and cost...and do way worse than the peak on cycles, lol

Because I couldn't leave it alone... https://imgur.com/a/o3Tnbop
370/209/93 and it likely has a lot of room for improvement; I tend to focus on size, so optimising for cycles is a new challenge.

Smaller! Cheaper! Fast...errrr... maybe nosomuch faster

Alcator: Damn, that's fast. I want to see your solution.

@Alcator Where's the gif?!
Alcator 2 Sep, 2019 @ 8:46am 
Very nice puzzle, thank you!

@Stupid Snake Idk, but unless someone makes it smaller I suppose so.
Stupid Snake  [author] 24 Aug, 2019 @ 12:48pm 
vizthez--Nice! I wonder if that's as compact as it can get?
vizthex 24 Aug, 2019 @ 8:16am 
Nice puzzle! I made a 320/348/50 solution, so it was smaller than yours :D https://imgur.com/OEbAj0m
