item puzzle logic is solvable
Universe Sandbox
Light orbital-mechanics tinkering, no win condition to solve
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
