For jidomef: xicusog
You might want to fix that...

[Rene]

For Fibonacci Predicted (kugogyb): fyfarof

Interesting puzzle. I first thought it would be impossible.

[jf]

For Catapult ribedol: fydyfiv

For Random Comparison mugobon: zidytec -- I used the random barrel as found.

For Simple Decryption III gorokiv : dyfugop

[Rene]

For Fibonacci Predicted (kugogyb): fyfarof

Interesting puzzle. I first thought it would be impossible.

And here is a simpler and faster solution:

For Fibonacci Predicted (kugogyb): rabizax

For Fibonacci Predicted (kugogyb): rabizax

Nice work, Rene. I may come back to this one and try a faster solution.

For Fibonacci Predicted kugogyb, I was not in any hurry: kobilem.

[Rene]

Nice work, Rene. I may come back to this one and try a faster solution.

For Fibonacci Predicted kugogyb, I was not in any hurry: kobilem.

Actually, your "leasurely" solution is just as fast as my fast solution. But here is a solution that is substantially faster: hogenin (94 ticks). Can you do better?

You can see that I really like this puzzle....

Well, here you go... 

vikasis solves in 78 ticks. I actually had to delay a bit waiting for the machine to catch up. I haven't looked at your hogenin yet, but I suspect you found the same sort of trick that I am using.

Edit: It looks like we have the same general idea: predict an intermediate pair before cycling through the full period of values. Your design is clever. I wanted to "spin ahead" in my earlier attempt but didn't think of changing direction. I found a different shortcut with the calculations, however, which gives me even more extra time.

Edit: dodobun solves in 74 ticks. I switched the order onto the matcher to light up at the earliest possible moment.

unorganized multipuzzlenakuvaf:tunubug

[jnz]

Almost for unorganized multipuzzle (nakuvaf): mepebac.  Can you find the flaw?
colcolpicle: I'm especially fond of the puzzle in the upper right.

[colcolpicle]

nice, but your upper middle one fails on F

[Rene]

For unorganized multipuzzle (nakuvaf): badybot

Nice puzzles. For some of the puzzles I was convinced that I found the only possible solution, only to see that jnz and you have found different ones... 
And the top right one had me flabbergasted for a while... I thought it was impossible 

[jnz]

nice, but your upper middle one fails on F

I had to go to bed last night before I could finish.  But now I have conquered it!
For unorganized multipuzzle (nakuvaf): rigibob

[jf]

For unorganized multipuzzle (nakuvaf): jygoril

Crazy puzzles! The one that gave me the most trouble was the simple adding of two ? crates in the middle. I know which one jnz meant by "flaw" without looking -- I had the same flaw in my work until I thought, well, that one extra empty space might be there for a reason  . As for solving the top right, I have to thank jnz for single-step mode.

It is interesting as Rene points out that we all found different solutions to a few of the puzzles where I also thought I had found the only possible solution.

[colcolpicle]

the third rubiks rubicon level: dedixak
the possible moves that I figured out are: FF into the first, DD into the first, FFF into the second, F into the second. try them.

[Twee]

For cacypym: diticop

I really enjoyed this puzzle. Like Rene, I would have found it nearly impossible without jnz's new Rubicon engine. Besides stepping, I also used the cut-and-paste, and the arrow keys to increment barrel selection features a lot. Barrel selection by keyboard makes large tables much less painful to set up!  Probably the most important difference though, is the game running smoothly, rather than speeding up way too fast to follow, or freezing completely.

I think this puzzle should be warehoused. You could call it "Cooking College", or "Iron Chef" or somesuch, since it resembles jf's "Cooking School"(getyfut), with the addition of surprise ingredients.

Edit: I like the cleanliness of Rene's solution. I'll have to study it some before I understand how that table works though.
