What happens during the opening pause?

The video holds on the clean portrait and empty trays for several seconds before the dark 20/15/24 trio is actually sent.

Which groups follow the dark opener?

Fresh cream 65/45 and orange 24 enter as dark slots clear, followed by purple, white, and red layers around the scarf, face, and hood.

Respect the opening pause, drain dark 20/15/24, then use fresh pale, orange, purple, and red groups to peel the hooded portrait to its last outline.

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

Wait through the initial still frame with five empty trays, then start fresh dark 20, 15, and 24.
Follow the live 13/11/23 and then 8/6/18 dark remainders rather than treating them as new nests.
As dark slots clear, admit fresh cream 65/45 and orange 24; the later 19/40/2/55/84 row is another active transition checkpoint.
Alternate cream and white fur groups with purple 10, orange, and red cards as the face, scarf, and hood layers expose.
Clear the broad hood and body, then finish dark eye/outline pixels and detached red, purple, and orange edge pieces.
Wait until the last ants leave the framed area and the celebration follows; the solved state is the empty picture with all five trays blank.

Starting the covered question-mark cards as if their colors were already known.
Filling every lane with the dark 20/15/24 opener and leaving no capacity for fresh cream or orange groups.
Confusing fresh cream 65/45 with active dark remainder or leaving before the hood outline and final fragments clear.

Wait through the initial still frame, then start dark 20/15/24 together and follow their 13/11/23 to 8/6/18 remainders.
Cream 65/45 and orange 24 are fresh groups after the dark trio; do not treat their counts as the opener's active leftovers.
Question-mark cards are not a route hint. Keep a lane for cream, orange, purple, and red, and wait for the final hood outline to clear.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: A red-hooded puppy or small animal fills the frame, with white flowers, a cream face and body, a purple scarf, and dark outlines. Five trays start empty. The first fresh visible cards are dark 20, dark 15, and dark 24; covered question-mark cards and pale/cream 65 and 45 sit below.
Goal: Clear the dark outline and hood edge, cream fur, orange body accents, purple scarf, red hood, flowers, and final facial pixels until the portrait frame is empty.
Opening: The video holds on the clean board before the dark trio is sent. Dark 20/15/24 drains through active 13/11/23 and 8/6/18 checkpoints; fresh cream 65/45 and orange 24 enter afterward, followed by purple 10 and later pale/white groups.
Danger Zone: The delayed opening and covered question-mark cards hide the later order. Do not fill all five trays with the dark opener or mistake large pale fresh counts for dark remainders; preserve capacity for cream, orange, purple, and red layers.
Mechanics: A delayed opening and hidden queue cards lead from a dark outline clear through cream fur and purple/red clothing to a sparse hood outline. The last moving fragments must clear before the empty frame and blank trays.
