I rate this puzzle a 8.134 / 8.1, very awsome and fun :D Thanks mira

This thing had strong, and i mean strong amarms vibes. And i think this is the second time i have gotten min on my own on a event puzzle (dont fucking tell me theres prebuilding or buffering i swear to god zorblab)

Anyways, i first started off making a rate solve, finding the ratio of 11:1 pretty quickly. Afterwards i decided to go for min cycles cause cycles are fun :D. First, i started off having one projection glyph and one purification glyph. Trying to shove all the quicksilvers into the projection glyph as fast as possible, getting a min + 2. But after a few attempts on a layout, i had gave up on it. Then, i tried going with two projection glyphs, thinking less buffering = less cycles. And it worked out, with it i got to min + 1. At this point i had two bottlenecks. One is the final iron, the iron not arriving fast enough if it went with the main pipeline, needing the other monomers to wait a cycle for it to bond, another is the final silver taking too slow to promote due to the final quicksilver requiring a regrab. And its these two bottlenecks that costed the most of my time. First, the last iron. I tried just seperating the output into two elbows and making them in two pipelines allowing just less atoms to handle. But the outputs ratio does NOT allow it. So i decided to try to work backwards, making the final min L pipeline first, then do the easy part of all the other stuff. And that fixed it. The other thing with the not-so-quicksilver was solved pretty easily by just shuffling arms around to make up space for a arm used only for rushing the final qs into the projector (did not take 2 hours). And thats how i got min :D

Also optimizing this is giving me flashbacks to 2024 week 0 i love it ehHHEHEHeeeehEHehhHEHEHhhhhh

ps: everytime “min” is used in these notes, “min” might or might not be actual min.  Hopefully i dont sound stupid lul please please please please plese please please please

((and oh yeah squishing this was fun too lul))
