Nice find! Fixing...

For Quicktime 2 v2 xatobut: kofifyt

For Shift Worker zidevud: bygusom

The puzzles have not gotten any easier while I've been away.

Nice work!

No tricks this time

New Puzzle:
Scrambled Eggs dehadoh
Currently I have no solution for it, but it is theoretically possible to solve. Bonus points if anyone solves it without gates as a main element.

For Scrambled Eggs (dehadoh): pihuvyd

Not one of my fastest solutions, but it does the job...   No bonus points, either:
I first sort the crates, which would probably be considered using gates as "main element". Then I compare each crate with the left-most target. The highest one that moves to the left is the one that is equal to the target. The other targets are determined in the same way.

[Werbad]

My Current Solution: lasidav
It relies entirely on the delay between the released crates. It's not the solution I had in mind, but it's currently my only working.

Werbad, your solution didn't work when I tried it. Screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ykmyguxzcyz

[Werbad]

Interesting. You didn't happen see what was the cause of it?

Edit:
It breaks if the feed is too fast...
Fixed Version tuvesux
Just needed to adjust the timing for the top feed

New Puzzles:
Speed Test: segugyb
Speed Test 2: jepycad
Speed Test 3: hakefuh

First one should be easy for the more experienced players. I've been close to solving the second one, but I have yet to find a working solution for it.

Edit:
Solved the second one. For the third I've managed to retrieve 3/4 bits.

For The Safe Hard (xakudyc): muxufug

That's a tough one! It's a grueling exercise in timing and miniaturization. Now I know why I don't have any time to catch up on Rubicon puzzles -- the little Rubicon time that I do have now and then gets eaten up in the Werbad puzzle thread. My other Werbad solutions-in-progress will have to wait for another day.

My solution takes its sweet time to solve, not due to waste -- once I've matched any value, I lock that one down to the end -- but because it seems to take forever to get that last, third number dialed in. Each sweep of the combination takes 256 ticks, and the sequential adding of random numbers doesn't seem to produce an even distribution when I'm watching for it to finally match! I suspect a gremlin.

My design: I detect the values up top in a periodic sweep, and send them down to the bottom for comparison, only spinning the dials for the misses and keeping the matched values locked in place. Each sweep takes 128 ticks due to the design of the sweeping mechanism, and every other sweep is garbage due to timing conflicts with the spinning of unmatched dials, so every other sweep is discarded, giving a period of 256 ticks.

Without revealing the design, here is how many of the up or down pipes I used: Just one down pipe is used. 

[Werbad]

Nice work on that one!
My solution: hupifal

I see that we used pretty different ways for solving the level though. My solution uses 3 up and 2 down pipes.

My solution is kind of complex:
The basic idea is that I check each target one at a time. I drop X and X+1 onto the gate at the top and count the number of barrels that went left. If the result was 0 or 2 I spin the dials. Otherwise I move on to the next barrel. The solution is made up of a lot of smaller sub-systems, all which are pretty complex. I'm not going to explain how all of them work though.

Note: Last time I tried it I had to wait for 15 minutes before it solved.
