I need help from a genius

[Savy]

I can't figure out if you've actually solved it or if you two just think you might have.

My way works but it doesn't give the answer given in OP, if he did the test and only changed one answer and got higher when he put my answer it would point that way.

A good point about puzzles like this is that if the overlap happens the dotted line goes from being connected at a point to not being connected which happens.

i.e.

l- - - -

l - - - -
