Being too stubborn to peek at the spoilers, I used 12 tools in my solution. I refuse to admit how many minutes it took me to solve this one. It was deceptively tricky!

 

I enjoyed checking out all the answers so far. This was a good one!

Think I over complicated things slightly, but got a nice solution in the end :)

Never thought this would be so complicated. This crushed my ego. Always something new to learn and keeps life interesting.

I kept thinking there must be an easier way - but I probably built it the hard way!  Very satisfying to get the result!!!
