It's always cool when there are multiple solutions, though!
Huh... does seem easier. At least mentally trying to walk through it it seems to get to the top right exit pretty easily, I'd have to play back through it to try. Not sure why I wouldn't have seen that back then. Maybe there's a path to getting to that point in the game that doesn't reveal the "largest flag gets used" mechanic so I hadn't realized that would work? 🤷♂️ Nice catch though, especially since so many people seemed stuck on that one back when it first came out.
I might have to play this again sometime. It was a fun little brain-bender.
