ah!! Thank you for the compliments and I’m sorry for not being able to have George help you enough! Which puzzle did you get stuck on?
The very first one with math lol. The formula is x3+x3. I saw "5" and "5" so tried 5x3+5x3 but 30 doesn't work. I tried counting different things but 48, 55, 33, 66 didn't work either and I didn't see anything else in the level to count to get more numbers. The only thing to try is typing in all possible numbers which aren't too many... but I wanna save my sanity from George's tortureous little riddles xD
So sorry about the lack of clarity!! It was meant to have 3 gears each side collectively adding up to a "5" on the pipe, and so when it would ask 3 gears + 3 gears, it would be essentially 5+5. Sorry again for the inconvenience, BUT i updated it to have George supply better hints (and a direct answer at one point) for those on that very same puzzle.
