Interesting level Chip, it took me ages to figure out a technique that allowed the lt. blue timer and conveyors to work in harmony. As it is I'm not sure I used the correct method because the third ingredient was never brought into play.

I did have fun and I thank-you for that.

Well done Bob - I was not able to complete this without the third ingredient!

Do you care to tell us how you did it without all spheres, Bob?

I first picked up all the coins I could in the top section.

Then I used two metal boxes on the left for the aqua timer, one on the right conveyor with a green sphere below it to hold it in place and then the yellow ones rolling over the stop button.

Like I said, it's not correct but I simply could not get the timing to work out in the bottom section. I kept losing a sphere to the top area.

Wow! I didn't see that possibility.

Now I was able to construct it - with difficulty, and because the conveyors stop only for short periods, the top part is made so much more difficult.

Let me assure you that the intended solution is much much easier.

How about a PM? I really want to know where I went wrong.

PM sent, Bob, describing the intended way, but I can't stop admiring your original solution.

Hey Bob,

How did you get the generator to only pump out only one box? What did you use to block the right side?

Bob did not incorporate the generator in his machine!

Ah yes, the one combination of the 132 that I didn't try...you know, the easy and effective one!

Thanks Amnon and thanks again Chip.

I've been struggling with this for quite a while.

My initial idea was to operate the cyan timer with steel boxes, but then I can't get to the top section. I know I need to have the conveyor stop button operating intermittently but can't see how.

If you're desperate: Have a sphere roll from time to time over the conveyor button, breaking the wooden box, then another wooden box comes and stops the conveyors.

Thanks so much for the video solution Chip.
I don't think I'd have got it without the help.

What a marvellous machine!
