hatkirby's Puzzles
« on: July 22, 2007, 12:13:42 AM »

Here's hatkirby's puzzles! Some are puzzles, some are challenges. The levels that are listed under "Tested Levels" below, or have the word "SPOILER" next to them are puzzles because they are definatly possible. The rest are challenges because I'm not sure if they work and there's no solution yet. Good luck, and have fun! Wink

UPDATES

Hi, it's me, hatkirby, some 3 years later. I'm only online so I can fix this post; for some reason, it seems to have completely vanished. I split the table into smaller tables and it seems to be working again. Have fun puzzling! Tongue

TESTED LEVELS

All of the solved levels are obviously possible. The unsolved puzzles that have been tested--that is to say, they are possible--are as follows:

ABOUT CALCULATE THE ANSWER

It's not a design puzzle, it's a logic puzzle. Which 6 crates when placed in the top-right corner provide the right answer? This level IS solvable because I know the answer. The level, however, currently is not possible because you cannot place crates into the level without going into the Sandbox. The sequel, however, is possible because you just need to put the right amount of barrels in the input tray.

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!

Good try, hatkirby!

Unfortunately, the problem with this puzzle is not finding the key. It's finding a crate to work with. I don't see a way of getting one of the crates out of the machine, so I would have to declare this one impossible. If you would add a '1' crate somewhere outside the machine, then it would become possible to solve.

Thanks, Rene, for pointing that out. I've fixed that now in zesiman. I hope it's possible now because I like designing puzzles and seeing them done.

New Level!

jikolyf - Gum up the Works

Those are nice solutions Timbo & Rene. I've put Rene's at the top because that one was archived.

jikolyf - Gum up the Works

This isn't always solvable (for example if all the random crates you get are even and the barrel is odd).  It's also quite tamper-resistant; I could get it to run forever, but I couldn't make it gum up early.

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

So I need to add in something that will ensure that there is always an even and an odd crate?

(Thanks everybody for testing my puzzles like this!  Grin)

Or you can just always spit out a "3" in addition to what you already spit out.

Here's a "black market" solution to zesiman:bavarag.  No editing was done in sandbox mode, yet the "solution" shouldn't be possible under the normal rules.

EDIT:lefirug does the same thing in a legal manner.

Further EDIT:pydidyv is still unsolvable.  Remove that copier and it'll work better.

How did you make that black market solution, Bucky? I tried to copy your result, but I cannot without going into the sandbox.

That "black-market" solution couldn't have been possible without the Sandbox because it replaced a 0 Barrel with a dozer. Anyway, I've added Null Spaces to the inside of the machine to stop the "black-market" solutions in doluxub.

I don't even remember adding that copier in! I think it was an accident. I've removed it now, in zybyxib.

I'm working on another puzzle now, be prepared!

That's a nice solution Rene! Anyway, new puzzle!

Calculate the Answer (mimutif) is not a design puzzle. It's a logic puzzle. What 6 crates do you have to place in the top right corner for the correct answer to be output?
