level 79

I had an email from a player who's solved every level at par, except for 79 which he couldn't do in under 26 moves.
Sorry Philip, it is possible.
An impressive achievement nonetheless! It's clearly time I made some new levels...

I am just curious... I know you invented the game, but how do you know -- exactly -- how many moves are the Par?
Great game... more levels. :-)
Trade secret!
Actually, I've written a tool to exhaustively search for the optimum solution.
Originally 'par' was a more appropriate name - it reflected the number of moves that I thought a level should take, and it was possible to do better. But a few levels turned out to have huge shortcuts that I hadn't noticed, so I thought I should put it all on a more rigorous footing - hence the automatic solution finder, and the 'perfect' par value.
