About the dish

Eel brushed with sauce and grilled again and again until it shines, laid on rice in a lacquer box.

How the picture comes apart

From the frame to the center the picture is 18 layers deep. The outer ring is mostly dark green and black, the middle band is mostly orange and white, and the core is mostly orange and white. Ants can only reach the next layer once the one around it is gone, so the core colors are the last to become useful.

By block count the biggest colors are dark green, orange and white.

Reading the tray

The tray starts with 84 boxes in 4 columns. At the start 1 of the 4 front boxes can bite right away: navy (has to wait), mint (bites now), orange (has to wait) and black (has to wait).

21 mystery box(es) only show their color when they reach the front.

How the verified run plays out

The solution further down was played to the end in the real game, with ants walking and real timing. It takes 84 taps. The chart shows how many boxes were still parked in the 5 slots, waiting for their color, just before each tap.

Opening (taps 1–26): 34% of the blocks are eaten, with up to 2 of the 5 slots holding a box that is waiting.

Middle (taps 27–57): 33% of the blocks are eaten, with up to 2 of the 5 slots holding a box that is waiting.

Ending (taps 58–84): 33% of the blocks are eaten, with up to 4 of the 5 slots holding a box that is waiting.

Strategy

Check the colors of the first three boxes in each column and compare them with the colors exposed on the outer ring of the picture. Always keep one slot free to catch a color that can't be eaten yet.

Pressure comes in waves: the opening and the ending are tight, the middle is a breather. Use the middle to clear slots and bring chained or locked boxes to the front.

Mystery boxes show their color only when they reach the front. When you see one coming, don't fill every slot; leave room for it.

Step-by-step solution

This order of taps is verified to clear the level. Columns are numbered 1–4 from the left; after each tap, wait until the ants are out before the next one. Two boxes shown together are a chained pair taken in one tap.
