Jade Plate Lock
The goal in this puzzle is to rotate the rings such that there is an unbroken line from the pearl at the top to the pearl in the center.
Recommended solution:
- From reset, rotate the 2nd innermost movable ring to the correct position. This will also rotate the outermost ring to the correct position.
- Then rotate the 3rd innermost ring to the correct position. This will also rotate the innermost ring to the correct position.
Mechanical Lock
The goal in this puzzle is to draw two paths through the grid such that every square is drawn through, the Red "Start" is connected to the Red "End," and the Black "Start" is connected to the Black "End."
