Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- T1-T3 stand above a tall left loop. S1-S3 name the three one-cell right-edge feeders from top to bottom; R1-R7 name the adjacent horizontal tower rows from top to bottom, with R3-R5 initially behind three red curtains.
- Goal
- Check all three top columns, retract the red curtain panels in order, and preserve the final yellow, light-blue, and purple/pink releases from the right tower.
- Opening
- Tap T1 red, then T2 red, and follow with T1 pink/purple only after the red stream reaches the right return.
- Danger Zone
- The red panels are covers rather than sources; sending yellow before the bottom panel retracts puts that color on the route before its receiver is available.
- Mechanics
- Each completed upper group reveals the next lower receiver, creating a top-to-bottom curtain chain beside the tall loop.
