TheWasteland is such a beautiful puzzle. GiantFrog killed it.
I love it when my sense of what's possible is shattered.
I first fiddled around and solved it in 17 turns.
I optimized my strategy and knocked my score down to 11 turns.
Then I looked at the record, master of desaster in 10 turns.
@%&! No way! He must have cheated. It's impossible to get Sungura by Turn 4!
But ... maybe, just maybe ...
I allowed myself to pretend that the record is real and that this is possible. I abandoned everything that I had tried and played with crazier and crazier strategies.
And then it clicked. Ohhhhhh, I get it now! That's so elegant!
