I'm really proud of this solution, there was a lot of innovation between my first and last drafts. When I first saw the puzzle, I assumed 3-instructions was impossible as you'd need a multi-arm to grab every pair of elements, so I ruled it out and made a disgustingly large 4-instruction solution.

When I was writing my solution notes, however, I decided to write about how 3 could theoretically be achieved. In those solution notes, I realized that I inadvertently had a super elegant solution, so here we are!

I love the idea of creating a brace for the element so that debonding doesn't destroy it, its very satisfying. Enjoy :)
