How to Solve Car Sort Level 501 — Full Solution
- Dispatch the blue pair at the right end of the lower inner tray, followed by its yellow pair and exposed red cars.
- Release green and red from the upper mixed tray so the lower inner red receiver completes and the counter falls to `2`.
- Route the remaining blue cars into the upper inner receiver until that group completes and the counter reaches `1`.
- Expose the lower-left blue and purple rows, the lower-middle orange and yellow rows, and the lower-right purple, yellow, and green rows in that order.
- Pause at `14/18`, letting one green, yellow, orange, or purple receiver drain traffic before the next row enters the loop.
- Complete the lower green and yellow columns first while preserving the unfinished upper pink, purple, and orange groups.
- Send the later cyan pair to the lower-right column and complete cyan after green and yellow have checked.
- Finish upper pink, purple, and orange last, then let their final traffic drain occupancy to `0/18`.
Colors in this level:
Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink, Purple, Orange, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Releasing another outside row while the road is already at `14/18`.
- Mixing the late cyan pair into traffic before the lower-right receiver is exposed.
- Treating the small `3` value as road capacity instead of completion progress.
Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 501 (quick clues)
- Stop dispatching at `14/18` until one outside receiver takes a pair.
- Complete the inner red group before rebuilding the blue group.
- Complete lower green and yellow before the later cyan pair, then close the three upper columns.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two mixed four-position trays sit inside a rectangular `0/18` road, with three two-wide columns above, three below, and a centered `3` completion counter.
- Goal
- Rebuild the inner trays as solid blue and red receivers, finish lower green/yellow/cyan in that order, then close upper pink/purple/orange.
- Opening
- Release the lower inner tray's right-side blue pair, then its yellow and red cars before draining green, red, and blue from the upper mixed tray.
- Danger Zone
- The middle sequence reaches `14/18`; another full-row release can crowd all four bends before an outside receiver is ready.
- Mechanics
- Seeded mixed trays, six deep receiver columns, an eighteen-space road, and a completion-driven `3→2→1` counter define this board.
