Gaeel's machine
« on: November 26, 2007, 10:20:57 PM »
Just a quick puzzle to see how you guys figure it out.

You'll notice the machine churns out a line of barrels on the right corresponding to the sequence of crates you need to input at the top.
The crates given to you are random.

Let me know what you think along with your solutions.

The puzzle is not solvable if the crates given to you are all 0, or most of the time when they're all even, or...

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

Bucky is correct in that it is not solvable every time, but you can get close.  This one works about 98.4% of the time.
For Conway's machine (koxybed): ficovoh
Can anyone hit 99%?

I suppose the puzzle should be fixed by putting a 1 in the supply crates by default, and leave the others at random...
