Between the previous puzzle and this one, there's really not much to be said about doing another repetition of the same, except maybe that the negative space left behind is rather unlikely to give you a clean field to start over with, so it will logically become your top priority to find a suitable place to start the building process anew.

So really, all I can add to their original descriptions and all the needless theory on what makes them at all considerable in the first place... is what makes the 2x puzzles themselves significant. Who could've seen that coming?!

Puzzle 49: Big Cross x2

I'm... having a hard time following the logic train her at all moves... particularly since certain moves seem to be at odds with the ones made just before them or just plain destructive to existing formations in progress... and even then, the sensible moves in the right direction seem to follow using an equally suitable piece as if it was useless. Clearly this player is stalling for time to cover for... some kind of attention deficiency! Oh, and then there are several moves that I swear are entirely counteractive to positive forward progress...

However, the fact also remains that while it took a little while for things to get figured out, this puzzle didn't take considerably longer than the previous one. (I think that's the part that I find most confusing of all.)

On the upside, a diagonal cross is still not mutually exclusive with a checker pattern, so if all else fails, just don't make formations where like colors touch each other and let the thing sort itself out on its own... even if the method by which it's eventually arrived at proves to be one of the most excruciatingly long and drawn out cases of inaction and indecision I've ever seen.

I shake my fist at the past for being so... indecipherable! I guess those who forget the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them, but what does that even say about those who can't even determine what (if anything) can be learned from it? I... I don't want to repeat this performance ever again! (Don't you dare hit that replay button!)
