Brilliant puzzles, @Malcolm! I'm terrible at this kind of stuff, but it looks like so much fun that, on my next day off, I am going to try to figure these out without looking at the solution you posted.

🤩 way to go @stevegleason.

Can you do the bottom image with less parts?

Yes. I am down to one object.

Though that's it. I've hit my limit. I will not go down to zero or a negative quantity. 😀

I've got a fun one for you guys. Can you do this using a single object?

Is a grouped object still a single object ? 😉

I'm so boss I can build anything with a single panel

A hint (but not sure if it helps or hurts). Still one object:

Oh no. Don't tell me that bottom pic with three shapes is a single object as well! Is it?

I'm officially stumped. That's wild.

Can you post the solution to your last comment? Something about the way your circle and rectangle look makes me think you solved my puzzle differently as well.

Finally done. It took a massive amount of time and effort, but I finally got it down from about 13,592 objects to 1.

The attached file shows my attempt to recreate your image, the three object variation, and my "fair play" recreation of @weetbicks panel that's he's trying to sneak past the judges.

-- I uploaded the wrong file earlier. Sorry.
