For Ring Ring (hanicim) and Ring Ring Ring (kezirin): nosebab
I liked this puzzle.  I used trial-and-error instead of a theory-based approach.  Although I guess I was thinking that the machine calculates f(x) = x * (0 - x) and that would have to have a fixed-point (other than zero).  Clearly f(-1) = -1 no matter what modulus you use but I don't have any proof that some of the rest of the odd numbers wouldn't fall into a separate cycle.  Luckily things worked out pretty well.

No modulo arithmetic here - just trying all possibilities

For Foxhole III[/font] zufixom : The Key to getting the Fox dydopyc

I haven't looked for other solutions, so I don't know if it has been done this way before.  I just think that the control of the dozers is different than what I have seen before.

I found that much harder than I expected.  My solution to zufixom is nasyhos.  It uses a very different approach to the calculation from your one.  8 minus all the other crates equals the missing one.

Actually from combining humbugger's calculation approach with my odd cycles, I've found a much simpler solution myfopup

Using a little different method for getting the crates in the right order.

I have looked at Cistern [(level]dyxycoh[/level)0 many times in the past but did not look at any solutions.

Today I took on the challenge to solve it with . (vigimez).  I thought my solution was
pretty ugly until I looked at some of the others.  I don't think there is a pretty way to solve it.

Did you mistype the level name? There is no level vigimez.

Sorry

For Cistern dyxycoh
it should be vaagimez

I did a copy and paste from the navigation field.  It has it with an I instead of an A.

 I will try this after I post.

[humbugger]

this time I mistyped it
for Cistern my solution is  vagimez

Nice solution. You make it look easy.

Here's a new puzzle, or rather, a re-mix of an old puzzle (the very first puzzle I posted on this forum):

Nicely done. I used the same idea but I didn't get it to stop at exactly four crates like that.

For Jack O'Lantern Remix (hisigat): jehoviz - not really hard
