There's a little problem with bicibas: If you watch it after it's solved, the crates reach the copier and the barrels replace the bottom side of the target light.

Oops! Here is a fixed version: cezicus

Just looked at Sly's version. That is fine as well, of course.

Very good! But I can't put it up as a solution because it's not the same version as the one on the front-page.

I'm starting a new series! It's called Rule Processing Device. You are provided with 1 or more crates and you have to make the device output the right thing! In other news, there's a new Recycling Tray puzzle:

Decrementing Recycling Tray - razufic
Rule Processing Device 1 - xyvimob
Rule Processing Device 2 - dibagad
« Last Edit: July 25, 2007, 06:48:54 AM by hatkirby » Logged

If you take four, and then add four, and then take away, add, subtract, add, add, multiply by, subtract, raise to the power of, divide by, and add four, and then find the reciprocal, what do you get? Of course, it's obviously 0.058823529411764705882352941176471! Duhhh!

Four is the answer to all!

Okay, think of a number. Now, scratch that number and think of 0. You're thinking of zero, right? FrEaKy

takoxyx is a nice solution, but for the other ones... OOPS! I completly forgot to add in the Null Spaces! Now it's fixed:

Rule Processing Device 1 - dedidyb
Rule Processing Device 2 - dufamib

There's also a new Recycling Tray puzzle! After all of these puzzle, it still continues that no one gets my original solution!

Burning Recycling Tray - rexageb

For the new Rube Processing Device: pegobul

The first one's solution works in the new version.

Man this one was tough! I kept thinking about how you could've gotten the crates accross and I'm sure that this isn't the answer but it works Smiley

For rexageb: dynoxic

Your solution to Burned Recycling Tray is good, but it's still not the one I'm looking for. A hint that you should expermint when I release the next one: It has nothing to do with pushing the 4 out with barrels.

With the Rule Processing Device, you are supposed to USE the device, not find a way to work around it! I don't know how to restrain you from using packers because in my solution, they're necessary.

About the shadowing on the front-page: Puzzle names are only shadowed if they belong to a series or have the color reserved for an upcoming series.

New puzzles:

Battlements - gykabyh
Verified Recycling Tray - xoduhuh

EDIT: Don't use the previous Battlements, it didn't have the Null Spaces:

Battlements - lexuvib

ANOTHER EDIT: New puzzle:

Stickyness Removed - xusazig

You have a high puzzle production rate, hatkirby! I can hardly keep up with solutions

For Decrementing Recycling Tray (razufic): guvaxob
For Burning Recycling Tray (rexageb): pogazuk
For Verified Recycling Tray (xoduhuh): dudedyb - with a little bit more creativity

For Rule Processing Device 1 (dedidyb): garudux
For Rule Processing Device 2 (dufamib): gububep - did you forget to block some components?

For Battlements (lexuvib): catosak
For Stickyness Removed (xusazig): nidavex

Those are some really nice solutions, escpecially the ones for Verified Recycling Tray and Stickyness Removed. But for Rule Processing Device 2, these puzzles have to do something with the device! What do you get if you take 2 from 1... F! What can you use F for? Hmmm... It's just because these puzzles are harder to restrict what you can do with them because the planned solution uses Packers. But anyway, finally! My planned solution for Verified Recycling Tray has been revealed! I've been trying to get someone to use that Unpacker! Horray! Now I'm working on another puzzle, one that's not in a series. I'll release it when it's done. Thanks for the complement, by the way.

Woh, I'm getting behind with my solutions to your puzzles!

Illiterate Recycling Tray (1) (zadibyz): bydibis
Illiterate Recycling Tray (2) (bugunyx): dagadus
Shadows of a better one (vemudep): xegupos

I did Rule Processing Device 1 very much the same as Rene (using a pipe draw initially instead of a dozer)
I wasn't sure what the 'correct' way of solving RPD2 was.  You have to use some maths outside of the device to get an even number.  In the end I settled forthe solution below which takes a cool 700 frames.
Rule Processing Device 2 (dufamib): zopidad

As long as the solution actually uses the device, I'd say it's OK. However, I know of a faster solution to that puzzle!

Anyway, there's a new puzzle! Password! You are given three barrels (which are the password), and another barrel (which is the data), and you have to convert them into crates. If the correct password is not in place, the data cannot get through to the matcher. The password has to be in crates, also because there are matchers for the password too.

Password - jusulyg

I think you want to check that Password is possible.  Try using sandbox with a password such as 123 and try to get the machine to work - I couldn't manage it.  I think the barrel draw from the top of the pipe is too slow, and the middle digit gets copied too many times.

Thanks for pointing that out, TTTPPP. It should be possible now:

Password - tefulet

EDIT: Hark! A new addition to the Shadows series!

Misty Replication - nenotyk

ANOTHER EDIT: New puzzle!

Boxes - nacazex

Boxes(nacazex):mavuhum.  Most of the work was done by imagedrop timers
Misty Replicator:nymetus. (You aren't the first to try this kind of puzzle.)

That is the most ingenious method of solving an impossible puzzle that I have ever seen.

I know that Shadows have been done before, but I like to make some easy levels along with the one's I don't even know are possible. Speaking of which, here's a new puzzle:

Debris - gucukyf

I like your solution to Boxes, by the way.
