It seems to me that there's something wrong with the box in the lower-right corner that says "Solved!" when all the targets match up. In natotyk, both targets are green, but the box just keeps counting ticks. Huh

It only works in "Game" mode, not in "Sandbox" mode - no idea why. When I try natotyk in Game mode, it says "Solved in 1 tick".

If you switch it to the old physics model, it doesn't work, but it does in the new.

If you take four, and then add four, and then take away, add, subtract, add, add, multiply by, subtract, raise to the power of, divide by, and add four, and then find the reciprocol, what do you get? Of course, it's obviously 0.058823529411764705882352941176471! Duhhh!

Four is the answer to all!

Interesting. In the old physics model, the crate is there, but the matcher does not light up. I suspect that - unlike in the new physics model (see http://kevan.org/rubicon/forums/index.php/topic,158.msg1411.html#msg1411) - the copier and matcher are in the same category and are evaluated bottom-up. During one cycle:
- the furnace first burns the crate
- the matcher looks at the empty space
- the copier places a new crate

This is confirmed by swapping the matcher and copier. If the matcher is on top, and an (upwards-) copier is beneath, then the matcher lits up.
You have similar behaviour in the new physics model with packers and the matcher (see dariboc)

But there's something I don't get. In hasegov, the solution takes quite a while to finish. But when it does, it doesn't say Solved! Why? It doesn't have anything to do with copiers.

It Solved for me.  I don't see what you're talking about.

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

Huh? It didn't solve before. That's very strange.
