You have four arrows - up, down, left, and right.

You must use these to arrange a sequence.

....

Can't you just read the rules? They were pretty clear about this one.

This was one of the bit confusing puzzles, because at first I thought they have to be put in the right order (123). Don't know why they had to number them if they don't mean anything special.

I was stuck on this one, even after I used up all 3 hints, until I used up my first try to realize something that wasn't clearly stated in the rules: commands will move all the platforms at once (not each individually until it reaches its goal).

You did? Wow. I'd like to see or hear how's that possible. I thought of many different ways, but I either ran out of commands (1 too many) or one lift went to trap.

My solution was to put them 132.

I put them at 123 as well, and had one command slot spare.
(I think) I moved them all up two, then one to the right, then slotted in number two, then brought number 3 into play, then slotted in 1 and 3 at the same time.

I'm still trying to figure this one out, I found out that all move at once, if one is stuck on a barrel the one next to it moves instead of the one next to that, blah blah blah.
I just really can't figure out how to get the carts to the green dots.

What i found annoying is, although they move all at once, and are affected by all commands, if a platform is in the direction another platform whants to move, it will be blocked, although the platform will move away at the same time.

example: ("0" are platforms "_" are empty spaces)
______
__00__
______

command "to the right"

______
__0_0_
______

this was very annoying.

I guess I am the only one who found this one extremely easy?

Sure, I failed once, because once I ran out of slots I removed one too little (resulting in an improper sequence... ugh) in the alternative path that would work, but I never ever had to wonder how to get the proper result, or how the mechanics of the puzzle worked.

Hmmm...
The odd thing is it seems I suck at Puzzle Agent compared to most people here, seeing their scores compared to mine.

I found this puzzle extremely easy too, I solved it on my first attempt, the instructions were clear and it wasn't much of a challenge to figure out what you had to do, I found it a lot harder to follow the Hidden Person to get the third gear.

Add me to those who did not understand that all three platforms would move at once... that wasn't clear to me at all. :-/
