Two matching flowers can be eliminated if they are linked by a chain of no more than three adjacent, non-overlapping horizontal or vertical lines traversing empty spaces.

Isolate identical floral units – duplicates of the same design. These paired specimens are subject to strategic removal. However, a critical constraint governs their elimination: each pair must be severed via a chain of no more than three orthogonal connections. These connections—strictly horizontal or vertical—must traverse exclusively vacant spaces within the substrate. Visualize this as a constrained dissection. The objective is to systematically dismantle these duplicate arrangements, adhering rigorously to the pathway limitation. Each severance necessitates a precisely calculated sequence of line segments, each oriented either east-west or north-south, and each confined to unoccupied regions. Consider the spatial arrangement meticulously. A single disconnection requires a maximum of three such lines. Failure to satisfy this condition renders the attempted removal invalid. The process demands careful consideration of connectivity and spatial boundaries – a delicate balancing act between separation and adherence to the imposed geometric rules.
