Took a bit for me to work out the extraction properly (for reasons unclear), but got there in the end. Fun one.

ETA: beamed at #15

I don’t want to JINX it but I think I’ll be on the board soon.

Edit: …and on. Really impressive meta idea and construction. It’s amazing how Matt keeps coming up with these mechanisms.
