Frequently asked questions

Which board should I use for level 16?

This page has 10 distinct boards. The default A board has 10 rings and 10 blocking pins. Compare these features and the thumbnails before following its steps.

What do the numbers on the diagram mean?

They identify individual rings, not the operation order. A written step can also describe a bar or latch, so the step number is not always the ring number. Match the ring number named in the instruction with the diagram.

What should I check when I am stuck on level 16?

Check whether the ring is open or closed, whether a stop pin limits rotation and whether a latch is still locked by a bar. Repeated rotation does not remove a fixed obstruction. Compare the neighboring connections, then return to the step for the matching ring number.
