How to Solve Car Sort Level 517 — Full Solution
- Route the exposed upper green pairs into the first short green receiver.
- Clear yellow and purple only after that green receiver exits.
- Complete the first red row and advance the `1` cylinder's earliest reveal.
- Work upper green, red, and patterned rows below `12/14` occupancy.
- Lower the `4` and `3` cylinders one stage at a time through purple, pink, and red.
- Unlock the yellow-padlocked lower source and clear its cyan/yellow column.
- Open the red-padlocked source after that drain and route red, green, and pale cyan.
- Finish remaining cylinder reveals in purple, pale purple, orange, cyan, and burgundy order.
- Complete the late red, pink, pale-cyan, orange, and burgundy traffic, waiting whenever occupancy reaches `14/14`.
- Clear orange and burgundy first; the actual terminal wave completes the upper green receiver and the inner purple receiver together before the road reaches `0/14`.

Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 517 (quick clues)

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Short green, red, purple, and mixed rows sit above three lavender cylinders; four lower sources include two visibly chained padlocked columns.
- Goal
- Complete upper receivers, reduce each cylinder separately, unlock both lower sources, and empty the `14`-space road.
- Opening
- Start with upper green, then route yellow, purple, and the first red row after each receiver exit.
- Danger Zone
- Advancing two cylinders or opening a locked lower column at `12/14` or `14/14` strands its cyan or orange reveal.
- Mechanics
- The `4`, `3`, and `1` cylinders are completion-driven shutters, separate from road occupancy and the colored lower padlocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the `4`, `3`, and `1` cylinders tappable queues?
No. They are completion-driven shutters that expose later vertical car columns.
Which locked source opens first?
The verified run clears the yellow-padlocked lower source before committing the red-padlocked column.
What is the main capacity warning?
Do not advance another cylinder or lock reveal while the road shows `12/14` or `14/14`.
Which receivers finish last?
After orange and burgundy clear, the upper green and inner purple receivers complete in the same terminal wave and take the road to `0/14`.
