Hello there.
vybesac:dicegif I kinda cheated.Smiley
pygypor:bidukef or (9 pieces) vefuvob

Edit: I felt bad about cheating on someone's first level, so I made something closer to the 'intended solution'. fecukig

Interesting point. Here's my attempt, which took me much longer than I expected: borysut. I like colcolpicle's better. Also, it's kind of a shame to "cheat" and still have a sub-optimal solution, so here's a faster one: ficimod.

I had to laugh when I saw Rene's solution, and then Twee's. Here I was trying to reduce it to the simplest form, and I missed the imageobvious!

For Reconstruction (pygypor): bedityr

For Do the same (kidades): gegizof
19 ticks. I think this is the fastest you can get, unless there is a better way to do the top part.

Edit:
14 ticks for Minimalizm: texecen

For "Do the Same"(kidades): jehivyb It's kind of slow at 29 ticks, apparently.

Edit: I just looked at Werbad's "Do the same" and "Minimalism" solutions, and they are both excellent.

Madball: I don't know whether the "Do the same" solutions which imagechanged the top crate to a zero before inputting it are what you had in mind or not. If not, you could have forced the issue like so: cekugil. I'm glad you didn't though, since I enjoyed Colcolpicle and Werbad's creative solutions.

Further edit: ...and I just noticed that Werbad's hack of the bottom part of "Do the same" can easily be modified to work for cekugil: cyhagun. My conclusions are that this is a more fun puzzle than I realized when I first looked at it; and that Rubicon players are a tricky bunch.
