If anything, I was expecting one magic method for handling all targets.  Hey, wasn't it Einstein who said that you have to make the solution as simple as possible - but not simpler Excellent solution jnz, no template copiers and very clear. I am surprised that you found a two-case solution. I tried that as well, but could not get the '8' case to work. Seeing your solution, I wonder whether it is possible to use '7F7F7F' as teeth in the monsters mouth afterall. I had that at first, but could not find a solution for it. |

Hey, I used a one-case solution, it could be argued . It's an interesting question, but I don't know if 7F7F7F is possible because to generate 8 you need at least one penultimate value less than 8 which will always escape left from the last unpacker before you have time to get something out of the middle unpacker to trap it. |

Hey, I used a one-case solution, it could be argued . If I could figure out how your solution works, I'd probably agree.  It's an interesting question, but I don't know if 7F7F7F is possible because to generate 8 you need at least one penultimate value less than 8 which will always escape left from the last unpacker before you have time to get something out of the middle unpacker to trap it.
I think you are correct. The extremes you can produce when subtracting two crates in the range [8-F] are 8-F=9 and F-8=7. Actually, I don't think you can produce an 8 out of the middle unpacker either (for the same reason). So really you are limited to the range [9-F] and you can only produce things from 9-F=A to F-9=6. I made a test machine ( gudaryv) which seems to never produce 7, 8, or 9. |

I think you're both right. But the following should be possible (although I have not made a solution yet): NEW PUZZLEFeed the Monster IV: movyzocSee how many different cases you need now |

I have modified Rene's solution for Feed the Monster III ( dyvefex)and created the solution for Feed the Monster IV ( movyzoc): puzebirI need 4 cases and I don't think 3 cases is possible. |

I did not want to look at your solution before I had my own. Excellent solution, Timbo! I have 4 cases as well, but yours are much simpler. Here is my solution for Feed the Monster IV ( movyzoc): dibavyg |

NEW PUZZLEOn their way home, the children came through the playground, with a lot of fun swings and stuff. They are now totally enjoying themselves and do not want to continue home. Can you help them on their way? Bring my babys home: dapugox

For Bring my babys home ( dapugox): tofibit. I think I'm exploiting a weakness in the shuffle. |

For Bring my babys home ( dapugox): tofibit. I think I'm exploiting a weakness in the shuffle. Yeh.... I found the same just before I posted the puzzle. But I thought I'd post it anyway to see whether I could mislead you guys. I should have know that you're not that easily fooled. I am working on a harder version, but have not found a solution to that one yet. |

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