I finally had an attempt at Ultimate Reproduction Cycle ( nabudov), and almost solved it. The solution does actually work completely, but I was forced to re-order the given crates to match my solution. I tried to initialize with the given order, but could not get that to work. Feel free to try it yourself. I don't feel so bad about it, because I am guessing they were ordered in this peculiar way to match Werbad's solution anyways...  For Ultimate Reproduction Cycle ( nabudov): nyrodycLooking forward to see Werbad's solution... I have been trying to reverse engineer a solution that matches the order of the crates, but did not succeed. It is a nice puzzle that forced me to cover new grounds again  The "value range checker" I had not found before, and the simple trick at the bottom to delay the barrels one tick if they are larger than 7 was a new discovery as well.(by the way, I have 2 ticks to spare) |

Nice work! You're right that the order of the crates match my solution. My solution: xyfyrigI'm not going to bother explaining how it works though. |

Very smart thinking... You seem to have plenty of time to spare as well... I count at least 6 ticks, probably more with some restructuring |

By using some more efficient structure and some 'kickers' I could probably shave off some more ticks. But I wanted to support alternative solutions as well... Edit: This inspired me to create a new puzzle: Re-Arrangement: dasohyd |

Now that made me feel like I overcomplicated the problem... A truly amazing solution! My Solution: serapagIt looks complicated but it was pretty fun to build. |

Rearrangement( dasohyd): syrygitThis solution isn't quite as generic as it looks; fortunately, it works for that sequence. And it's fast. |

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

Made a new simpler solution, it is pretty fast, but using Bucky's method it can probably be done faster. 58 Ticks: bytesixEdit: Using Bycky's method I got 44 ticks: gexizit |

Nice work! As an extra challenge you can try solving it using only 2 passages. It should be possible even without copiers. My solution: jidacah (should work for v2 as well with minor adjustments) Edit: A new day and new crates to deliver, you come to work just to realize some idiot has jammed the top gateway. Can you still deliver the crates on time? Quicktime 2 cavadadxatobut |

I can do better than that  For Quicktime v2 ( fukireg): sigagan (using only 1 passage) |
