Demoted to Showcase despite being aesthetically more pleasing and 'pure' than the submitted scoring solve which is a 2-stick version based on this...!

Mr Puzzel said this is legit :-D Must be slower than the 'proper' ways though - thought of having 2 sticks on the go to reduce cycles but then there is the issue of disposing one stick before the next guess-stick is made... (turns out this is what I eventually did and it was worth it for lower WSUM - still over 2000 though so prob not great v the competition)!

This is better in every way (Gold, Cycles and Area) than my 'proper' attempt that detects what the atoms actually are (at least the fire and salt)... that 'proper' attempt is an unsubmitted embarrassment :-)
