- Hello,
-
- Can someone please tell me how to solve the sixth level on The Incrdible
- Machine demo? I've managed to solve all the other levels (including 7 & 8)
- with little problem, but I just can't seem to get all the mice running
- on L6 while managing to free the cat.
-
- This is what I'm doing...any comments on what I need to change will be
- appreciated.
-
- Spoilers ahead....

-
- 1) right sloping ramp directs left baloon into leftmost mouse cage.
-
- 2) leftmost mouse wheel is connected to conveyor belt under bowling ball.
-
- 3) 2 right sloping ramps lift ball over right brick wall and drop it to
- shelf below.
-
- 4) teeter totter is placed above cage, with rope at one end, other end
- connected to the cat cage. Other rope is connected to the other end of the
- totter, and to the totter below it.
-
- This is where things get stickier....
-
- 5) mouse cage is placed above & to the left of the right baloon. Conveyor
- belt is placed on the right of the cage. This belt is connected to the
- rightmost permanent mouse wheel.
-
- 6) another conveyor is placed on shelf below bowling ball area. This conveyor
- is connected to the mouse wheel in 5)
-
- 7) I place the remaining 2 ramps together on a left slope, trying to get the
- bowling ball to hit the middle permanent mouse cage, then roll down and hit
- the rightmost permanent mouse cage. problem is, it never gets that far...
- it either hits the brick above the cage and stops, or just stops short on its
- own.
-
- Any solutions will be appreciated...
-
- Thanks,
- -Bryon
