drop a monster: check

muti(3)-JellyFish 278:r37c28 / b1379 => way to many elims to count. (45?)

singles to the end...

easy 1 move,sure
... comprehending wtf this did not so much.

3 overlapping AIC chains (2,7,8) all work independently and make a nice jellyfish on their own... but since they overlap they also lock each other.
Some do, some teach, the rest look it up.
