Why should dark-purple 30 and pale-white 40 lead?

They open the chest route while leaving room for the short cyan 28/26 and brick-red 25 returns; the larger 46/36 cards can wait.

Why is the board not clear when the man's torso is gone?

The beard, arms, pale-peach face fragments and dark hair use separate late routes, so the final hair cap must still be drained.

Open dark-purple 30 and pale-white 40 before the brick-red 25 and cyan 28/26 lanes, then drain the bearded man's chest, shirt and final dark hair.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Start the exposed dark-purple 30 route and let its ants leave the chest area.
Tap pale-white 40 after the first dark stream returns, keeping one hole empty.
Send brick-red 25, then cyan 28 and cyan 26 as their matching holes open.
Wait for the cyan convoy to clear before using dark-purple 36 or pale-white 46.
Route pale-white 38 and brick-red 20, using short dark-purple 3/7/4 returns when shown.
Keep pale-white 35 available while the shirt and both arms separate from the beard.
Use pale-peach 34/37 only after the white and brick-red traffic has returned.
Clear the beard and face with returning white, pale-peach and dark-purple cards.
Finish the dark-purple hair cap and the last white 10/15 pieces after the lower frame is empty.
Wait until the final ants leave the perimeter and confirm the Colony Flow clear animation.

Colors in this level:

Pale cyan, Pale white, Brick red, Dark purple, Pale peach, Brown

Opening pale-white 46 beside dark-purple 36 fills all five holes and hides the short cyan and brick-red routes.
Stopping after the shirt clears leaves the beard, arms and dark-purple hair cap on the board.

Let dark-purple 30 and pale-white 40 open the chest before the large 46/36 cards.
Use cyan 28/26 and brick-red 25 as return bridges through the five-hole bottleneck.
Keep pale-white 35 available for the final beard and hair fragments.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A bearded man with dark hair, a pale-cyan shirt and white trousers sits behind a brown chest route. The visible reserve includes pale-white 40, brick-red 25, cyan 28/26, dark-purple 36, pale-white 38, brick-red 20 and dark-purple 30, with deeper pale-white 40/35 cards.
Goal: Drain the chest and shirt, then clear the arms, beard, face and dark hair until only an empty frame and the Colony Flow clear animation remain.
Opening: Start the visible dark-purple 30 lane, wait for a return, then use pale-white 40, brick-red 25, cyan 28 and cyan 26 in that order as their holes open.
Danger Zone: Opening pale-white 46 and dark-purple 36 together fills the tray while cyan 28/26 and brick-red 25 are still needed, causing the chest route to stall.
Mechanics: A limited-buffer chest-to-shirt route releases the beard, arms and small pale-peach groups in stages; the dark hair cap persists after the body has disappeared.
