a different variety of oops, perhaps
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:48 comment added Gareth McCaughan Ah, but maybe -- of course I can't remember now -- I actually intended my "32 left" to mean moving it left twice, in which case rather than being bad because it's invalid my solution was bad because it duplicated an existing one. (I just noticed that the numbers of moves were substantially different and didn't check what Stiv's actual moves were. My bad.)
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:46 comment added Gareth McCaughan I hope not, since mine was invalid :-).
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:44 comment added LeppyR64 Are these not the same solutions except Gareth's solution compresses duplicate 1-space moves into one move? Stiv has 32L 32L where Gareth has 32 L. Stiv has 10L 10L 10L where Gareth has 10L.

oops
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:43 comment added Stiv Got me a few times too! I have a solution in 12 but not sure if it can be done in fewer...
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:42 comment added Gareth McCaughan Yow, so it does. I thought I'd checked for that, but obviously not. Good catch.
Jul 22, 2019 at 15:41 comment added Stiv But then your second move breaks the 'Stay connected' rule since 'diagonal connections don't count'... The 10/32 block ends up separated from the rest...
