This is obviously my problem as well. I immediately go for a dozen wheel thingies and lots of triangles and gizmos and thrusters and never consider that there may be a really easy solution.

Of course, [modestly] most of my models work on the first try. [/modestly]

not really

Re: Bored at work? Bloxorz

Ok, this is just simply amazing. This setup for "Awash" uses three pieces of wood, no wheels, and takes about 7 seconds!!!

It also looks like pi to boot!

WoW!

I know...

I want to find this guy and make him the US Energy Chief and Military Strategist rolled up in one!

I guess I'll have to settle with watching the video over and over and over (shaking my head). Am I alone, or do you have to watch it at least 4 (that's conservative personally) times to even believe/comprehend the simplicity?

Re: Bored at work? Bloxorz

Your not alone - that is probably the best solution I have seen to any of the puzzles. Has anybody paid for the full version so that you can get more levels?

This is what we engineers call an "asymptotic solution". You can get as close to "Victory" as you want if you just wait long enough.

Here was my solution to the Big Ball.
