Common mistakes
- Starting this sequence on a board that does not show 13, 4, 10, and 20 on the four wooden sections; that is a different layout.
- Blocking the bottom gates while staging the large L pieces, which prevents the early cyan exits and throws every later countdown checkpoint out of sequence.
- Treating the replay after the first level-complete panel as a separate solution; use only the first run from about 0:05 to 1:43.
