Time Bomb is coming up later this week on the puzsq advent calendar. I purchased this large bomb to use in the puzzle… but it looks like the fuse has just been lit 😱 💣 Better solve it before it explodes! (Huge thanks to X_Sheep for building the interface in time for the advent calendar!)

Rules: Move each bomb so that every stone gets blown up. A bomb must take the indicated number of one-cell steps vertically or horizontally and then explode, destroying all stones in the 3x3 area surrounding it in its new location. Bombs may at no point along their path be orthogonally adjacent to another bomb or its path. Bombs may not pass through stones.

Notation Tip: You can mark bomb endpoints with dotted line 0s, and drag from an endpoint to a bomb! You can also mark Xs on stones to indicate that they've exploded - look at the example solution.
