      Hi friends,
      Here we go again to make balls fall in the right order. This time, the level is a little bit... well, you saw the title ;)

      2,3,5,8,10

      Yes, this is the most difficult of the series of these levels:sneaky:. But, I decided to calculate everything so that I could make the right combination on the first try:sneaky::sneaky:. It’s difficult to keep a combination of 10 balls in your head, so I used the recording, here it is:

      :rotf:
      I'm very glad that I calculated everything absolutely correctly the first time:D! But! There is a problem - in the first attempt, one ball could not push through all the other balls and remained on top:(. This resulted in an erroneous shift of one ball along the entire line (this is a slight instability at your level:unsure:).
      [​IMG]
      This ball rolled on top of another ball with a star. He took the star but could not move the column of balls. Because of this, all the balls shifted:cry:
      But the second time everything worked out.:cool:
      Excellent level of logic:thumbsup:!!! Therefore, instability does not affect my rating;)

      Yes, more difficult, so more thinking, so more fun :D... I love the mechanism... buff, a lot of tries until I decided to take a pen & a paper... uuhhmm, but I used trial & error instead of doing the calculations of @Denis Nazin :rolleyes:... thanks @Valentin ;) great job!

      @Denis Nazin @delator77 That’s what I like with this latch (or pendulum) mech : you can either solve it by brute force (trial and error) or by inside understanding. But understanding is much faster !:D
      And actually this dilemma goes for me too, as I have to solve the level too ! My method might slighly differ from you as I can adjust the design but I asked myself the same questions as you and made the same drawings :) ?!
      Thanks for playing and your useful comments !

      A new (and last?) level from this series awaits you …
      @Denis Nazin … in which I tried to fix the problem of instability. You know like me how Meko-physics can be slightly random and hard to control ?!?!

      Opened the game, took my notebook, defined possible path, wrote down and...

      And done :D!

      @Soohaeib Afeef Hosen I’m so happy people use their pen and their brain ! :)
      Congrats and thank you.

      At some point, while designing, I forgot my own solution and had to take my own notebook too. I won’t show it here… because I found a way to make an error :oops:. So I lost. And then fixed my error :D.

      :eek:
      I needed a BUNCH of times! Most of them to figure out the ball order:p thought I would never get it as balls kept bumping in the trough and changing position! Definitely pulled out the pen and paper for this one. I like that you made the top sliders long enough to push any stray balls all the way to the Loading ramp. Definitely a workout for the brain and thank you for the challenge and excitement!:thumbsup:

      @Sammy 5
      I’m so happy you took a pen and some paper : it is the intended way !
      That is how I see a good puzzle : you have to remove your eyes from the screen.
      You have now two more levels to try in this « binary latches » series : one is even more difficult, the last one is easy but you have to focus a little :D
      Thanks for your comments !

      @Valentin.... I tried "even more" but since there are ball delays and so many routes I decided not to grow any more gray hairs over it! It's just above my pay grade. Lol but I am truly amazed at the ingenious creations you come up with!
