I have checked this on the walkthrough but I can't get mine to look like the picture and it won't finish. What is the trick here? Does anyone have a completed puzzle I could have?

Are you looking at the correct picture in the walkthrough cos I believe the junior and senior modes are different.

I'll have to go back and check the walkthrough. That might be the problem. Thanks

The walkthrough is Junior level and that's the one I'm playing. I can't get my puzzle to match no matter what I do.

Is the walkthrough pic you are looking at? http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcNn/NDTOT/sensor.jpg

YOu should be able to click the mirrors to turn them so yours will look like this too.

Thanks, Ana.

Hi cmumm,

If you're still having problems - if you are able to take a screenshot of your puzzle in progress, e-mail it to me and I'll take a look and see what the problem might be.

I enlarged the picture of the puzzle in the walkthrough, and was able to copy it after that, successfully. Thanks for your help, everyone.

Glad you got through. Enjoy the rest of the game.

I followed the walkthrough on this, but it won't complete. Is there some particular order to do the different levels that makes it work? It seems like whichever level (top, middle or lower) I do last is the one that won't work. Any ideas?

Hi cmumm,

I combined your two threads for this game. It helps us follow your gameplay better if you can stay with one thread per game. You can find all your posts at My Place at the top of the page.

The transmission puzzle is tricky. You need to take care that no larger gear on a higher or lower level is placed too early so that it blocks the gear you're currently attempting to place. Think a few steps ahead and take all three bars into consideration before placing one.

There's also a YouTube clip HERE giving a step-by-step if you need it.

I went to the walkthrough and positioned the pieces exactly as shown, but there was always one piece that wouldn't stay where it was supposed to. It was on whichever level of the puzzle (top, middle or bottom)I did last. Any ideas?

I combined your threads again. Please help us here by staying with one thread rather than creating new ones for every question on the same game.

The YouTube excerpt shows the placing from start to finish. If it isn't working for you, then that's a weirdie that I can't explain. Do you want a saved game? If you do - my gameplay doesn't follow the walkthrough so you'd need to check the tasklist to see what has/hasn't been done so far.

Just a thought--when I was playing the game and the piece(s) wouldn't stay where it was supposed to, it was because some other piece was blocking/preventing another piece from turning such that then the entire transmission mechanism wouldn't work and the game wouldn't allow you to put the piece there. Once I figured this out, I was able to solve the puzzle.

If you just randomly try to arrange the pieces the way that the walkthrough shows, chances are you will run into this problem. You have to figure out your moves such that the pieces mesh without interfering with the placement of new pieces.

I hope this makes some sort of sense.

Thanks, Marian. I'm thinking perhaps cmumm didn't see my earlier post saying much the same thing, or the link to the YouTube excerpt.

Rushes, I didn't read your earlier note explaining the ins and outs of this puzzle, so forgive the redundancy.

You offered excellent help and advice, as usual!

Your post wasn't redundant, it was great advice. There are always different ways to word things.
