I am playing this also and am stuck on the rotating circle puzzle, you have to move until you get all green buttons in the triangle. Does anyone know where there are instructions on how to solve this kind of puzzle. I am starting to get frustrated.

Don't mind the green buttons so much, but instead get two red ones next to each other and move them outwards. They're 'safe' there
That makes it a lot easier

I will try anything at this point, thanks.

Thanks, nanette.

hawka, see if THIS helps you at all.

Thanks, nanette.

Thanks for the site I bookmarked it. Here is a link to where I am now and I don't know which arrow to use next for fear of messing it up again. There are quite a few arrow directions one can move. Machinarium triangle circle puzzle

Try this - if it doesn't work, you can easily backtrack.

Right circle: 1 click left
Bottom circle: 1 click right
Right circle: 1 click right

I finaly find where are the saves on vista.

Thanks, Lise.

Rushes when you say right, is it the bottom or top right arrows, hard when there are 6 arrows to move. When you say L is it clockwise or counter, same with R. I tryed but I messed it up. I can do any combinations but always just can't get the last one placed.

Of course it didn't keep the pattern I had when I quit out of the game, now one of the left side ones is stuck in red. I am going to try to get it back the way I had it and come to GB on the laptop.

Left should be counterclockwise, right should be clockwise. You'll see from the direction the arrows are pointing in which one to use.

I will try again, but now I have the bottom with green on R, red on L, just the opposite of my link. Which direction should I change? Have done similar puzzles but none were this difficult. Sorry.

Edit here: I finally got the puzzle solved, managed to get one corner left and after having watched these walkthrough videos over and over I finished it. Whew thanks for the help, plus did find the saves on the Vista, now to locate them on my XP where I am actually playing it.

This is unusual for me, but I actually got this one by concentrating of the red marbles, not the green ones. You have to get 2 red marbles next to each other on each "wheel/circle." When you do, they just rotate into position. Sweet and I'm so proud of myself!

Yeah, I know, I'm easily entertained...

That is what I finally ended up doing, thanks to Nanettes suggestion, but I was still having a problem with the last green one going into place. I am glad that I finished it too, but since I also have this on the laptop I will run into it again, sigh!

There is a Video walkthrough on you tube,

Thanks, moi. I saw that too, but was determined to get it without looking!

Wouldn't you know it, I replayed to catch up on my laptop and got the puzzle in a flash, easier when the pressure is off I guess.

Glad you solved it.

Now I am stuck on the horrid five in a row puzzle in the bar.

Be sure to keep an eye on what your opponent is doing; block him as soon as he starts to form a line of 2 or 3. Start forming your own line but leave a gap between several of your counters so that he doesn't guess you're going for a line, then fill in the gaps. Good luck!

Got it and beat it, thanks! Now onto the next challenge which looks like a bunch of pipes,

Have fun.

Yup, watch his 3-in-a-rows especially. He beat me several times before I finally got him! Oooo... did he get mad! Temper, temper...
