For Negative Image 4, I saved with an extra piece: danarof.

Key was tough imageuntil I let go of my partial solution and started over -- unlocked spaces could be a red herring -- my solution: nulalal

Okay, think of a number. Now, scratch that number and think of 0. You're thinking of zero, right? FrEaKy

Nice solutions for Key everyone.  Here's my original solution that proved to me it was solvable: mubolok.

I've since come up with a tighter solution so here's Key 2: vufogix

For Key 3 (pysomyz): nugolis. Good puzzle -- it really gets down to subtleties with these tiny puzzles.

Reverse Shuffle: zatodos

Since nobody has solved Pseudo-Random 0 (vatedar), I'll supply a hint: imageIt can be solved using only girders

For Key 3 (pysomyz): xicited - Nice little one

I am surprised there are so many different solutions for this one

For Reverse Shuffle (zatodos): gyfidab

That was an easy one - I guess there is a follow-up?

I have a solution that solves all but the left-most crate. imageThat solution uses more than only girders: serabyt, and I used a Java program to calculate what sequence of crates it should produce. Are you 100% sure that it can be solved with only girders?

Sure, why not?  Reverse Shuffle 2: bugusys

Are you 100% sure imagethat it can be solved with only girders?

Just checked again and my original solution still works.  Wink  I'll provide another hint if needed but not quite yet.

No need... here is the solution:

For Pseudo Random-0 (vatedar): degohan

imageI solved it with another Java program. My original program was fooled by the gap between the 2 and the 9

I thought that might be the case.  I put that in specifically to frustrate simulation.  I guess it worked.  Smiley
I should also mention that I'm impressed with your almost-solution posted earlier.  I was hoping somebody would come up with a solution other than my original even though I thought it unlikely that one existed.  Five out of six is very nice indeed.
