For Rubiks Rectangle (xycusud): teladoc

I saw jf's solution for Rubiks Rectangle and thought the puzzle would be to difficult for me... until I looked a little closer.




Rubiks Rectangle (xycusud):gyborof

f of x : barydik

NEW PUZZLE

Basic Lingual Differences: kemakic

[Werbad]

Not always possible unless you add another Crate...

[sly]

You're right.

The new one is dyzadud

For Basic Lingual Differences (dyzadud): kyzygum

I used a construct that I came up with long time ago for a similar puzzle

Basic Lingual Differences 2: tozabek

[Werbad]

For Basic Lingual Differences 2 (tozabek): bopenyp
Not sure why this works.

[Timbo]

Without looking on Werbads solution I have one on the same principle(Inserting zeros the whole time).
Here it is: For Basic Lingual Differences 2 (tozabek): mukoloc(91 ticks)
I even understand why it works.
It is based on the fact, that triangular number have a period of 32 and in this period every number exists 2 times. Therby after 32 crates the door sticks out at 2*solution moments

For Basic Langual Differences 2 (tozabek): dyxyneb (87 ticks)

Using the same principle as Werbad and Timbo

[sly]

I'm impressed! That's very clever.

anyway here Basic Lingual Differences 3: gizybog

[Werbad]

For Basic Lingual Differences 3 (gizybog): davygup
The solution is divided into 2 sections each checking 2 different methods of retrieving the crate value.
The right section looks for F's. The barrel after an F is always equal to the target crate. This information however isn't always enough since some cases never generate F's, therefore I also made the left section.
The left section looks through the first 8 barrels to find the most common value. The only time this system might fail is on case E, which will always be handled by the Right system.

Edit: Just noticed that it fails in some rare cases
New solution: fehegub
I noticed a new pattern in my old solution; Every second output is the target and the rest is one of: 1, 3, 7, or F. Not always, but at least once per 8 outputs. This new machine simply looks for 1's, 3's, 7's, and F's and the next output will be the target. Solves a lot faster than the old one.

For Basic Lingual Differences: gozymut

[Werbad]

Ok, I was trying way too hard... I feel stupid for not noticing this simple pattern.
Using the output from my earlier solutions, the target crate is always equal to the lowest of 2 following barrels.
