Puddles the Clown - Crystal Ball Puzzle

I think this is the challenge I'm stuck on. I've been trying to beat it for so long I can't remember for sure who's fate I'm working on. Anyway, this is the puzzle with the 4 colored marbles that you have to direct into the bottles. I did 3 of the marbles pretty easily once I figured out what to do. The amber marble diagram looks impossible! There doesn't seem to be any way to direct the ball into the bottle. The bottle opening is completely surrounded with only one way for a ball to enter and that's blocked by one of the Rx things that sends the marble far away to be smashed to bits. What am i missing????

The RX thing is a transporter. A ball entering a transporter will come out of its paired transporter heading in the same direction it was headed. It is trial and error to discover which transporter holes are paired. You will need to have the ball enter the transporter hole going left to right. Then when it emerges from the hole near the amber bottle, it rolls right in.

Try laying arrow tiles and test where they send the ball. Move manually (or mousely) only the squares that you need to to try a new route and test again. You'll get it.

Thanks! I thought the Rx only went in one direction. I just beat the game!

Does anyone know the puddles the clown solution? the other posts are about the doctor guy. Puddles has the beez and honey combs.

I agree that the above posts are in relation to Mr. Goodwell's puzzle. I am stuck on this also. I have fed the 4 different colored foods to the matching colored mouth and rotated the honeycombs but don't know what else to do!!! I have tried grabbing the bee's and that doesn't work either. Hopefully someone else can help us that has figured it out!!!

i know that if you put the tie up you can change the colour of the tie by turning the wheels on the gases but I dont know the sequence

If you want to figure it out, don't read this. Okay, here goes. Each fruit is a different color. Place them on the respective mouths. Each mouth will drop a sort of frame with a particular number of rhomboids. The tie needs to be up for this. Rotate the wheel to the number of rhomboids. For example, if the first one has 3, then you rotate the wheel to the third position. Do it for all 4. After that, click on the clown's nose, and the tie will come down and it will release 4 bees. Those bees have to go on the hive in their order. Again, by the rhomboids. Hope this helps.

Well that helps some, I've done all that, but how do you get the bees to go into the hive after you've done that? Right now, I'm only able to change the positioning of the rhomboids.

Think: 1, 2, 3, 4. First, second, third, fourth. (Trying not to totally give it away).

You do have the bees that sit still at the bottom of the puzzle, not just the ones flying around at the top, right?

Just pick each bee up off the mushroom and place it in the hive. Do them in the order indicated by the cards or they all go back to the mushrooms.

Ok this one has me baffled...i put the coordinating fruit in the mouths ..the picture frames dropped. I turned the wheel so that if there were 1 in the frame i put it in the 1 postion...pressed the nose and all i have is flying bees...i dont have clue if i did this wrong or where to go from here...any suggestions???????

Same here... all I have is flying bees.

I have no clue what to do.

K.. figured this one out.

I was trying to make ALL my things say the same as the first one... like if the first pattern had one, I was making ALL my valves set to 1. But that's not how it worked.

I also noticed that when I had the pattern right, the tie was all the same pattern.

Don't want to give it away 100%, but maybe this will help.

Okay, I put all the fruit in the corresponding colored mouths, then turned each wheel the number of times indicated by the number of rhomboids in the picture above each valve, but I still only have flying bees, none perched on the mushrooms at the bottom. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game too, hoping it would make a difference, but it didn't. What am I missing?

Spoiler below, skip if you want to figure it out yourself:










After you put the fruit in the mouths, click on the clown's nose to retract his tie. While the tie is up, turn all the little gears until a honeycomb appears at the bottom of each, then click the clown's nose again to lower his tie, which will also have a honeycomb pattern. This will give you your bees.

my bees are only flying how do i get them to the bottom?

Move the tie up, change the pattern to all honeycomb pattern, put the tie down again. The bees should come out of his mouth and sit on the mushrooms. Put the tie up again, and then put the bees into the hive.

Happy thanks to all the people who have given spoilers! this was a hard puzzle now on to the tattoo man then the acrobats and I can finally play return to raven hearest!!

I can't do anything with this puzzle! I see the fruit in the clown's pockets, but I can't pick them up. I can't turn a wheel, click his nose, nothing... I've clicked everywhere but nothing happens at all...except the timer counting down! Please help!
