I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.

I wish more posts had this much context. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Can you share what you tried before this? That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
