Well.... I had some prickly moments anyhow. I have special cases for 0, F, and 1, and at first, I did not realize that you cannot push the pin back without influencing the read-out. So I had to add the bottom stuff to wait for the start of a run.

I like the one-time-counters in your solution; that may be useful in others as well.

The crop needs harvesting, and you have been asked to lend a hand. The grower wants only a specific variety picked, and also asks that you watch out for the Sour Grapes jogyxyn.

Those solutions make it look so easy!

I especially like jnz's solution. I first opened it up and just immediately ran it, and was a bit startled when my eye caught a 5 crate and then a 3 create fall onto the gate, as in, "How did that just happen?".

I like Werbad's turn-signal trick with the ramp. I was also surprised there when I saw the dozer slide under it for the first time.

My solution to Sour Grapes: hugegeg
