hatkirby's Puzzles

[hatkirby]

Good one jf. I've responded with a harder follow-up:

Among the Debris - xopacax

[jf]

For Among the Debris (xopacax): hepydev -- a trying exercise in miniaturization!

[hatkirby]

That was a really good solution, jf! Here's another puzzle to keep you busy:

Buried Bricks - gipigig

It's probably already been done, and it's probably simple, but I'm just keeping with the current theme of mess.

EDIT: Another new puzzle!

Half 'n' Half - zalegih

[sly]

for gipigig : hibaryb

I kept thinking of ways to cheat at it, but nothing worked. So I just did the simple thing

Good puzzle. Where I am it's 5:00 in the morning. Good night! *Passes out at desk*

[hatkirby]

Well, where I am, right now it's about 1:00. Anyway, new puzzle:

The Blasted Furnaces of ---- - gekagaz

Note that I am not a person who uses profanity. That's why the sign says HELP, not HE-Double-Hockey-Sticks.

[Rene]

For Debris (gucukyf): gimyrig
For Boxes (nacazex): dizadof
For Misty Replication (nenotyk): dulipys

EDIT: Pretty smart solution for Debris by jf!

For Among Debris (xopacax): nepoboz
For Buried Bricks (gipigig): mygaruh

[hatkirby]

Those are some really nice solutions! How are you finding these easy ways to solve these puzzles? The solution for Among the Debris was fantastic! Anyway, new puzzle:

hatkirby's Multiplier - didohek

NOTE: This level is definatly possible, I've tested it myself.

Thanks!
The solution to Among the Debris (nepoboz) was actually inspired by JF's "trick the machine" approach to Debris.

For The Blasted Furnaces of ---- (gekagaz): bucagih
For Hatkirby's Multiplyer (didohek): vexetup

I don't think that Half 'n Half is possible. The problem is that you need to get the solution up to the matchers. The crates that come down the pipes will go up there as well.

[hatkirby]

You're right. Try this one instead:

Half 'n' Half - gakecan

Why doesn't anyone attempt Password?

EDIT: New puzzles:

Encrypting File System - typatog
Fours Galore - hidinog

[Rene]

You're right. Try this one instead:

Half 'n' Half - gakecan

Why doesn't anyone attempt Password?

EDIT: New puzzles:

Encrypting File System - typatog
Fours Galore - hidinog

For Fours Galore (hidinog): renutus

Half 'n' Half is still not possible. To be frank, I don't know what the machinery is supposed to do either. What comes to the target matchers is purely random - the only guarantee you have is that they are not 0. The crates that come out to the left don't give any information about them, and are therefore not very useful.

Encrypting File System is also impossible, for two reasons: 1) you don't have a crate to work with, and 2) there is a second target matcher that is inaccessible and empty half of the time.

I've removed the second matcher, and now it is definatly possible. So is Half 'n' Half. I've definatly tested both levels, and if you don't believe me, try this:

Half 'n' Half Solution - hasegov

Here's Encrypting File System:

Encrypting File System - rugacyh

Encrypting File System - rugacyh

I stand corrected. For Half 'n' Half, I overlooked the mechanism in the top right

For Encrypting File System (rugacyh): zoxypud

[hatkirby]

Goodie! Why doesn't anyone try Password or Triple Swirl? Anyway, here's a random device that I made. I don't know what it does or how it works. Let's see if anyone else can find out.

hatkirby's Random Device - mybugob

EDIT: I've finally made the sequel to Calculate the Answer! This one's probably a little easier. You have to put the right number of barrels in the input tray to produce the correct answer.

Calculate the Answer 2 - netuguc

[Rene]

On your request:

For Triple Swirl (fuponyk): nogurud  - takes a long time, but gets there in the end.
And Password (tefulet): voseduk  - a good use for Bucky's template copier

[sly]

I can tell you that your random machine isn't possible since there's no way of determining what the random number on the target matcher will be.

However I can also tell you that Calculate the answer two has been calculated. borosuc
