    What I thought this challenge was going to be when I clicked, was some attempt to complete the whole game with one bridge design. Like imagine a gigantic monstrosity of a bridge that can beat the game by either copy pasting it in its entirety, or taking subsections. No clue if that's even remotely possible but it'd be cool to see a broadly applicable design
