Just wanted to thank you again for that explanation! Thanks to thinking of it that way, I've managed to shut down 3 cogs in the last few days.
Thanks for that reply Johan (never would guess you're a TopCoder from teh alternative explanation!) I like that method of thinking of the puzzles. I just now need a way to figure out some of the strategies (probably some of which will involve me doing it out with pencil and paper, like I've discovered I need to do with Spiral Galaxies and Neighbors). Maybe that'll help me figure out how to get started on those 3-4* puzzles that I haven't done yet!

In my (thus far unsuccessful) attempt to comprehend Cogwheels puzzles, I came across the following typo:

"As an example we will solve a small instance of these puzzles. Assume we're dealing with a puzzle with two wheels of size 3 and three of size 1. "

The example, however, has only one wheel of size 3.
Very nice! The lack of tables made this an interesting challenge.

This was a very nice example of some of the intricacies (pretend I spelled that right) of how a Platform puzzle works. I enjoyed it.

I know that this has been said about several puzzles lately, but I'm amazed that this puzzle has a unique solution with so few givens. Very well done!

Praise the Lord! My streak of finishing all 1/2* puzzles is back!

That being said, this was a fun puzzle (the whole corrupt solution aside).
Very nice! I like the design, and the problem was nice and tough.
