20eight's puzzle(s)

[SM]

And solution to Inertia 4:

Dodebep

This one was significantly harder than the previous three, but these are quite enjoyable!!

Keep them coming!! (I see Intertia 5 is already out...)

[20eight]

this is certainly harder than the inertia series, but I'm not sure how much:

refraction box - gutibuf

[Rene]

I see I have some catching up to do. I am away from the forum for a couple of days, and creative 20eight has posted a whole bundle of fun puzzles 

Here is my solution to Combination Lock 4 (camydyb): xugixol

It's the same principle as Combination Lock 3, I just needed a big fuel tank for the engine. 

[Rene]

And here is the Inertia series (nice and light ones!):

    Inertia: relenod
    Inertia 2: hepyfog
    Inertia 3: rakybex
    Inertia 4: ribaban
    Inertia 5: hesaxav

1-3 are pretty much the same. I switched tactics between 3 and 4, and 5 is similar to 4 again, only a lot slower.

[20eight]

I thought that 5 would be it for the inertia series.  But I hadn't noticed (as Rene did) that you could simply place a ramp on top of the furnace; So here's...

Inertia 6 - danimof

[20eight]

I figure that this one is pretty darn hard.  But I've thought that about others...

Catalyst - jydukag

[geej66]

Here's my solution to Equilibrium - tybogyd - it's not elegant in any sense

I'm pretty sure it works for any two randoms, but I've thought that before...

[Rene]

Here is my solution to Mobius Strip: jubudaf
And for Equilibrium: leryric

Equilibrium is pretty hard. I could not find an elegant solution. So in the end, I had to go for a really slow one. I might revisit this one later to find something better.

[jf]

For Inertia 3: cocedyd, and Inertia 4: tebyfuk.

[Rene]

OK, is this solution you had in mind, or is there going to be an Inertia 7 as well ? 

    Solution to Inertia 6: rodalod

[Rene]

I figure that this one is pretty darn hard.  But I've thought that about others...

Catalyst - jydukag

Did you have any particular reason why you thought that this one would be hard? 

    Solution to Catalyst: cekicic

[20eight]

 In Equilibrium, I had only thought of the door keys as means of getting information out of the the mechanism.  I didn't figure that they would be used to stop and start the mechanism as did geej66 (tybogyd) and, to a greater extent, Rene (leryric).  Nice work.

Rene, yes, rodalod was what I was shooting for in Inertia 6.  Now I can put that one to rest.  And, no, I didn't figure on Catalyst being that easy.  But I did figure on you being the one to expose it if it was.  But anyway, it kinda nice to have inadvertantly created an easy version as a warm up for what I had in mind (hopefully)...

Catalyst 2 - lodadim

[Bucky]

Catalyst 2:vakytug.The puzzle is equivalent to its predecessor after feeding a few barrels into the pipes at the beginning.  Accordingly, I applied the appropriate transformation to Rene's solution to the original.

[20eight]

ok, I've really done my homework on this one.  Assuming that I'm not missing anything (ha ha), this one ought to be even harder than Catalyst 1 was supposed to be...

Catalyst 3 - lenybir

[Bucky]

ok, I've really done my homework on this one.  Assuming that I'm not missing anything (ha ha), this one ought to be even harder than Catalyst 1 was supposed to be...

Catalyst 3 - lenybir

That puzzle is just plain unreasonable.  It takes a minimum of over 7500 ticks to find out whether our solution is right or off by a tick for some reason we didn't anticipate.  Please show some respect to the puzzle solvers; I don't want to have to spend 2 hours making sure my solution works for all values of the ? crate.  In it's current form, it's not even worth attempting.

And the solution would be the same as the last two but with a ~250x30 timing device on the front end.
