Migilvia - I just found out a few days ago. JNZ's solution was supposed to be the only one, but you managed to find a loop hole that I did not forsee  Smiley

jnz - your solutions are the exact ones I had in mind, so if it is OK with you, I'll move them into the first post as solutions.

Clever puzzles! I solved fohukan through trial-and-error, and stopped as soon as I had it working. Although it's not as clean as jnz's behogan, I thought I would post it just to document this double "hammer" which I've discovered some time ago, but have not had a chance (that I remember) to use in a solution yet: demakan.

Here is a new puzzle:

    Plus Minus: vixodav

And a reminder that Glass Floor Returns is still open. I will post my solution in a couple of days.

    Glass Floor Returns: batesas

And I am spoiling you all with yet another puzzle Cheesy. I should probably have waited with releasing this one, but it is an easy one and just loads of fun. I borrowed JF's Double Drummer for this.

    Waterfall: tocedeh

EDIT: fixed a flaw pointed out by 20eight (was: fedyxuk)

Here is my solution to Plus Minus: jysugut. Good puzzle!

BTW: I myself am in no hurry to see any solution to Glass Floor Returns, as I have only just opened it up to look at it last night, having decided it would not contain any spoilers to Glass Floor Vengeance (it does not). These two puzzles are sitting on the top shelf in the puzzle cellar, waiting patiently for me to find time to work on them.

(Edit: Was betobef, but accidently saved in warehouse with blank designer name.)

Oops, no I did not. It's fixed now (tocedeh).

Another take on waterfall: zygecod.

* * * SPOILER WARNING * * *

The development of the injected pattern to equilibrium is dependent on the interdependent timing of the parts. I had to use trial-and-error to tune my solution, but it would be interesting to break it down to specific Rubicon rules to explain it deterministically. Hopefully, I've used enough big words in those last two sentences so that if you accidently slipped past the spoiler warning, you can stop reading now, with no harm done.

For Plus Minus (vixodav): bynetaf.  My divide-by-2 part could probably use a bit of optimization.
For Waterfall (tocedeh): xezuxub

Edit: corrected typo in level name

While I was in my bed I was thinking (instead of sleeping  Roll Eyes ) about Plus Minus: the topmost barrel should not be necessary!
So here it is the new challenge: radonad

It's the same for me too.
