A couple of puzzles...

faster than the speed of light:xidoxas

anti sign madness:zyzulym

mod 5:xynorud

just a gate:feginor.

my "tutorial": duzamah
solution: fobobuk
easy ones for fobobuk: semipus
medium/hard ones for fobobuk: hynofut

crucial timing:

 Check your solution with all values of the random crate, for E it's quite hard! Please don't post your solutions though, I want everyone to figure it out themselves. Just say "I solved it " or something like that.

BTW, what are those stars and words by our usernames

sorry for double posting but..
I just figured out that this forum is hosted in Spain, or somewhere in that longitude line.
That's all.

Solution to Anti-Sign Madness: [level]Zyzulym [/level]

Solution to Mod 5: Konetod

xidoxas:xofirah.  Even faster speeds are possible, but not in such a confined space. (see vacomid for 0 crates and sycubok for other crate numbers).  I believe 2 blocks per turn is the maximum speed that crate-ness can travel.

Faster than the speed of light: xidoxas: Nope, not yet...
Anti signs are soooooo evil: zyzulym: zenykon
Mod 5: konetod: jicexeb – I think I missed the point of this level.  I noticed the top section often became jammed if none of the random crates were 4 or less.

Faster than the speed of light: ropafif
Anti signs are sooooo evil: pusonod
Mod 5: gygubum <- I didn't really understand the purpose of this one either.

Solution to "Faster than the speed of light" (xidoxas): ducygam

And a new puzzle:

"Faster than the speed of Xidoxas": tanuvip

[sluutthefeared]

xidoxas:xofirah.  Even faster speeds are possible, but not in such a confined space. (see vacomid for 0 crates and sycubok for other crate numbers).  I believe 2 blocks per turn is the maximum speed that crate-ness can travel.

Here's a simplified version of the second one. gyzogad

Oops,  I didn't realize you could solve konetod that way...

Well, here is konetod... FIXED! xynorud
Three boxes, all labeled 0-4, come out of the pipe, and you have a 5. I guess you would:
---SPOILER---


A: check for 0's, and if there are any, put them on the screen
B: If there are no 0's, check for repeats, and subtract them to get a 0
C: Check for 1+4's and 2+3's, add them, subtract the 5, and get a 0

It is always possible, as you can always add some of 3 numbers together to get a number that is 0 mod 5...

By the way, nice job with zyzulym, I thought that would be hard to figure out... it should be filed under "Bug Support".

Solution for Mod 5 (xynorud): dyralum.  I basically followed your spoiler strategy.  It has worked the last dozen or so times in a row...

As for zyzulym, there have already been puzzles like that.  That's probably why people got it so quickly.  I think it is a feature, not a bug.

Here's what I've got so far for "just a gate" (feginor): redehag.
Takes 31 ticks at $507, so 31*(507-200)=9517
Edit: what was I thinking?
seluhan takes 30 ticks at $294 so 30*(294-200)=2820

[jf]

For Feginor, sidexar costs $297 in 28 ticks -- 97 x 28 = 2716.

Edit: I've just now looked at seluhan. I knew you must have had a similar solution. I was down to $302 in 29 ticks, which was not good enough, and I was trying to imagine what you could be doing differently, and then I came upon <snip> (Re-edit: I decided that this was too much of a spoiler).

for zyzulym : kulazom

Solution to "Just a gate" (feginor): dyfufil

Using the old trick to keep the ? intact, gives
money score: 733 - 200 = 533
time score:                       25

total score: 533 * 25 = 13325

What was the price again? 

EDIT: just saw the other solutions. I guess those copiers are pretty expensive....
