Solved recycling tray. xubunib

Try removing some components in a followup, that will make it really interesting Smiley I liked this puzzle tho, it confused me for the first half.

Good idea, Sly, and I've responded with a second and third puzzle:

Locked Recycling Tray - vohudis
Passive Recycling Tray - famypyb

I like this idea. I'm going to make a few Recycling Tray puzzles with more locked pieces.

Some more puzzles:

Broken Sifter - fifigub
Residential Mix-Up - fadicel

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 reciprocal, what do you get? Of course, it's obviously 0.058823529411764705882352941176471! Duhhh!

Four is the answer to all!

Broken Sifter(fifigub):gutasyd imageThe sifter's still broken, but I deal with it.

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

For Residential Mix-up (fadicel): bipazuk - imageIn 3 ticks. I guess you are going to block some components in the follow-up?
For Broken Sifter (fifigub): hunybiz
For Recycling Tray (vohudis): zigocaf - works for all Recycling Tray versions

Calculate the Answer is a very interesting and tough puzzle. I've never seen any like it before.
imageThe first digit of the solution is, of course, irrelevant. The next three digits I had fairly quickly with a little bit of reasoning and a few trials. The last 2 digits were tough; for second-to-last digit I basically just tried out all the values.

Here is my solution for Calculate the Answer (mimutif): tagibyg

I'd like to see more of these puzzles, but it's too bad that you have to enter the solution in the sandbox. If you do another one, consider using Bucky's template copier (see http://kevan.org/rubicon/forums/index.php/topic,75.0.html) to copy the answer from barrels to crates. That way, you don't need to go in the sandbox to give the answer.

Ooops, you're right about Residential Mix-Up. Maybe this one is harder: cenogaf.

Wow! You got the same exact answer as I did in Calculate the Answer, even with the first digit! That's strange! Perhaps on a sequel there will be more room in each area to convert to a crate.

Those are some nice solutions. F certainly does seem to like real estate. Anyway, new puzzle:

Single Recycling Tray - zadifyz

Also, I'm working on a second Calculate the Answer, and a new puzzle altogether, so watch out!

EDIT: New puzzle again:

Only One Chance - maxucor

ANOTHER EDIT: Only One Chance is impossible, so now I've fixed it:

Only One Chance - xebipoh

Those are some pretty good solutions, and, as you were the first to finish Single Recycling Tray, your solution is now the one people get to see! Anyway, there is now a new Recycling Tray puzzle. Notice how I keep blocking the items I see being used in previous solutions:

Illiterate Recycling Tray - zadibyz

EDIT: New puzzle:

Shadows of a Better One - vemudep

ANOTHER EDIT: Illiterate Recycling Tray is impossible, but I've fixed it now:

Illiterate Recycling Tray - bugunyx

For the updated version, bugunyx: gyveveg

For Only One Chance - the impossible one (maxucor): bicibas - should work for the possible one as well
For Shadows of a Better One (vemudep): cagefyt
For Illiterate Recycling Tray - the impossible one (zadibyz): kikubyl
For Illiterate Recycling Tray - the possible one (bugunyx): dabyveb - should work for Single Recycling Tray as well

There's a little problem with bicibas: If you watch it after it's solved, the crates reach the copier and the barrels replace the bottom side of the target light. Otherwise, these are good solutions as usual! I really have to find a way to make a Recycling Tray puzzle a little harder... hmmm...

No the impossible one is possible, bibicas works but it's missing one component.
