My method pretty much follows this and others, with one tweak. I start with all blue-yellow through the entire puzzle.&nbsp; If there are any 1-1 pairs, I turn them red at the same time, boosting all loops and bulges, and then begin to flip chain ends. As I go through the puzzle, I then remove unnecessary boosts. It is not needed to make the puzzle ALL white before starting to satisfy requirements. This works quickly for me 90% of the time in non-switch puzzles.&nbsp;It does not work well for switches!&nbsp;

Worseize, thank you very much for your fine lab design tour!

I think this video is going to be a great help also to newer lab players who are still wondering how to go about the lab and how to use different lab tools. Plus I always find it interesting seeing how others go about their lab work.&nbsp;

I very much enjoyed this video and plan to watch it again. I’m curious about why you paint many of the nt’s&nbsp;blue.&nbsp; BTW, your English and voice were great! Well done and thank you!

I have resorted to taking a picture of the screen with my phone.
