20eight's puzzle(s)

[Rene]

Combination Lock (ladudip) is more difficult. Here is my solution: gotudog

[20eight]

Combination Lock 2 - jubokax
Combination Lock 3 - hogudav

[Rene]

err...I didn't realize that it would be that easy.  Hopefully this will be more challenging:

Slidebar 4 - pibafog

Hey, don't complain about somebody coming up with an easy solution, if you haven't solved the puzzle yourself before you post it! 

These are fun puzzles  ! Slidebar 4 is quite a bit harder then the other versions. It is no longer obvious what solution you can use, although there are still a number of solution approaches possible. I took one that was easiest to do, but takes a while to run:

    Solution to Slidebar 4 (pibafog): dupavop

[Rene]

Solution to Combination Lock 2 (jubokax): debalis

I used the same principle as Combination Lock 1, there was just less space to cramp everything in.

Solution to Combination Lock 3 (hogudav): sytubed

I had to change tactics this time, basing it on timing and doing the crates in sequence - with single counter. I wished I would have thought of that for Combination Lock 2

My solution to Slidebar 4: gomuluc. Nice puzzles, 20eight.

[20eight]

Rene, I was hoping that as I upped the ante, someone would try a timing solution.  sytubed is well-conceived and incredibly efficient.

jf, when I started making up the slidebars, your oil and water idea (gomuluc) was the concept I had in the back of my mind, nice job.

slot machine - litipaf

it looks a lot like combo lock 1, but the concept is different.

Combination Lock 4 - rixifab

[jf]

Hey, you are posting puzzles faster than I can find time to work on them -- that's good! 

Here is my solution to Combination Lock 3: hodibab. My very first inclination was towards a timed solution, so I'm looking forward to seeing what Rene has come up with. My solution, is, of course, timed. The varying cycle was so long that I was lazy to count squares and calculate it on paper, so I just tuned it via trial and error to eliminate a start-up "bounce" of each of the count-down clocks.

Edit: Rene, fascinating! Once again, I will find time to come back to the forum and study one of your solutions... Well I've studied it -- very simple, yet striking design!

Mobius Strip - hulykyt

[jf]

My solution for Mobius Strip: jogykax.

Edit: Oops -- femydyc was saved while testing in the sandbox.

[20eight]

jf, nice solution in femydyc, but you left a 4 crate in place of the ? crate.

[20eight]

Speaking of which, I just noticed that I forgot to put the ? crates in on Combination Lock 4 (oops).  Here's the fixed version:

Combination Lock 4.1 - camydyb

[jf]

I fixed the solution for Mobius Strip (cf. above). And for Combination Lock 4.1, my solution: vegoneh -- just enough space.

Fixed: dubytuv -- cf. below.

[MagiMaster]

jf, somehow you solution doesn't seem to work if there's a 2 in the combination.
