Translating the Löb's theorem back to logic

http://yudkowsky.net/assets/44/LobsTheorem.pdf

Since the solution to the puzzle refers back to the proof of Löb's theorem, we first translate the proof from the cartoon version back to logic:

1. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L\leftrightarrow ◻(◻L\to C)$
2. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻C\to C$
3. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻(◻L\to C)\to (◻◻L\to ◻C)$
4. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L\to (◻◻L\to ◻C)$
5. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L\to ◻◻L$
6. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L\to ◻C$
7. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L\to C$
8. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻(◻L\to C)$
9. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢◻L$
10. $\mathsf{P}\mathsf{A}⊢C$
