Hydraulic Lifts

How do the lifts work?

    You have four arrows - up, down, left, and right.

    You must use these to arrange a sequence.

    ....

    Can't you just read the rules? They were pretty clear about this one.

    Never mind. Figured it out.

    This was one of the bit confusing puzzles, because at first I thought they have to be put in the right order (123). Don't know why they had to number them if they don't mean anything special.

    I put them as 123... :P

    I tried moving the green circles!

    I was stuck on this one, even after I used up all 3 hints, until I used up my first try to realize something that wasn't clearly stated in the rules:
    commands will move all the platforms at once (not each individually until it reaches its goal)

    You did? Wow. I'd like to see or hear how's that possible. I thought of many different ways, but I either ran out of commands (1 too many) or one lift went to trap.

    My solution was to put them 132.

    I put them at 123 as well, and had one command slot spare.
    (I think) I moved them all up two, then one to the right, then slotted in number two, then brought number 3 into play, then slotted in 1 and 3 at the same time.

    i didnt know you were meant to move them all at once until i tried and failed after an elaborately devised sequence

    I'm still trying to figure this one out, I found out that all move at once, if one is stuck on a barrel the one next to it moves instead of the one next to that, blah blah blah.
    I just really can't figure out how to get the carts to the green dots.

    What i found annoying is, although they move all at once, and are affected by all commands, if a platform is in the direction another platform whants to move, it will be blocked, although the platform will move away at the same time.

    example: ("0" are platforms "_" are empty spaces)
    ______
    __00__
    ______

    command "to the right"

    ______
    __0_0_
    ______

    this was very annoying.

    Yeah, still on this one, still annoying.

    Anyone got a spoiler picture or something? Please?

    To get them in order (if you're all perfectionist ;))

    I guess I am the only one who found this one extremely easy?

    Sure, I failed once, because once I ran out of slots I removed one too little (resulting in an improper sequence... ugh) in the alternative path that would work, but I never ever had to wonder how to get the proper result, or how the mechanics of the puzzle worked.

    Hmmm...
    The odd thing is it seems I suck at Puzzle Agent compared to most people here, seeing their scores compared to mine.

    I found this puzzle extremely easy too, I solved it on my first attempt, the instructions were clear and it wasn't much of a challenge to figure out what you had to do, I found it a lot harder to
    follow the Hidden Person to get the third gear

    Add me to those who did not understand that all three platforms would move at once... that wasn't clear to me at all. :-/

    Different brains are good at solving different problems.

    Yup, that messed up my first try too...
    My second attempt went wrong when lift 2 ended up on the leftmost green circle and stayed put. I expected it to go to the middle green circle as I assumed I needed the lifts to end up in order 123. Maybe remove the numbers of the lifts as they lead to false assumptions (and irritation for OCD people)

    Since I didn't find a way to select a platform in the first 20 seconds, I just assumed that they'd be moving at the same time. Then I figured that it was logical, if you could move them one by one it wouldn't be much of a puzzle :)
