A pretty neat contraption


Thanks to Grace for pointing out today's timesuck, Fantastic Contraption in which the entire goal is to get a pink object from that starting box into the goal box.

You get to build any sort of wacky contraption using wheels that rotate whichever way you choose and some sticks. Nothing too complicated about that, huh?

And yet it's addictive.

Admittedly, I got through like nine levels on my own and then just started using the forums to look at other people's solutions - which are way more creative and involved than mine.

Wow...

Be warned, however, that some of the more intricate contraption solutions can be a bit of a drag on the processor.
