  A beautiful brain-teaser you guys have crafted here - this was fun to figure out!

  Hmm... You probably might as well keep them in the chaotic triage arena since they all have different and (I think) interesting solutions, but if you want to include a "Crosshairs" for a future "official" collection, this one should probably be the version to include.

  Max, do you want me to retire either of the old Crosshairs levels?

  Great modification, Brian! You're right, for some reason I missed the opportunity to complete the symmetry. When I first made the level, I was unaware that it was possible to do the "expert" solution (for the "novice" solution, imagine an electricity tile above the red panel and none on either side of it), so I left out the fourth electricity. This version forces you to do an even more specific version of the solution to "expert version", making it more difficult, and it completes the nearly symmetrical layout, so I think this is the definitive version of "Crosshairs"!

  I'm curious why you didn't submit something like this, Max. For the symmetry, I mean.
Thanks for the steady stream of nice puzzles, BTW.
