Every so often, I go back to Zen Puzzle Garden, in my attempt to get through more than half of the puzzles. I warm up with a few solved ones, load up an unsolved garden, and say to myself, "Where on earth do I even start?"

This gives me that exact same feeling.

Heh. I came back to this puzzle and had trouble solving it the second time around, so I changed it to a 5. Here are some hints:


Don't be afraid to join chocolate together early on.


Try to keep the blue, white and purple blocks symmetrical until the end.

And my solution:

I decided to give it one more try before reading your hints, and made it through. My 60-move solution was much more convoluted than yours, but your hints still apply and the end product isn't too dissimilar.

Here's a solution that follows your second hint to the letter: [hint]
