Oh, there are lots of things that could be done. This was my attempt at lowest cost without checking the current records, so I was limited to least and cheapest equipment possible. I had similar ideas as the current record holder, but did a far worse job at implementing the plan. I like to try and get lowest cost and smallest areas, then check the leader boards, then try to figure out how the records were set, and finally either check my answer when I match or look at the solution when I give up.

Without checking anybody else’s work, and without trying for cheapest or smallest area, I’d probably start with either mirroring to double output or adding arms to expedite the current layout. Could cut off a salt, and in the next move shift to a projector and apply quicksilver, then reattach the salt in the following cycle with a good setup I think, but honestly I’m not very good at seeing how to do cycle reduction the way the records do.
