Really fun solve. Also, wasn't there a meme twitter account / personality named Baked Alaska a while ago? Sounds familiar. Thanks for sharing!
>>>NSM here - nope, no Internet personality reference! I just wanted to make a reference to a fancy dessert that would be appropriate for a birthday.

This was such a cool one to watch unfold, it kept feeling like there's no way the symmetry will be broken, and then another piece would magically open up and break a bit of symmetry in a completely different spot on the grid! So much fun, thank you! 18 minutes for me :)
>>>NSM here - thank you for the solve! This is why I enjoy setting things with my daughter - she doesn't get the math yet, but because she has a good visual sense, she sometimes sets things up that lead to fun logic.
