Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two hidden question-mark feeders enter a figure-eight track with a narrow waist and one bottom outlet. The vertical reserve contains a yellow padlock, a purple key receiver, a later yellow key box, and an orange numbered cell beginning at 10.
- Goal
- Clear alternating figure-eight lobes, complete the key box to open the yellow lock, and reduce the numbered central chain.
- Opening
- Use orange and pink for the first outlet bands, then cream and green as the opposite lobe rotates through the waist.
- Danger Zone
- A key-bearing receiver sent before its matching color arrives remains active beside numbered-chain boxes and can leave no slot for the next lobe color.
- Mechanics
- The orange cell visibly counts from 10 through 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 1. Completing the purple key receiver automatically opens the adjacent yellow lock.
