I get the feeling this wasn't the intended solution

Haha, reminds me of how I used to have to lock down almost every part affected by gravity (or cover up every mouse motor/teeter-totter/etc) because my brother would immediately look to solve every puzzle I made by placing the smallest available ball so it barely tapped one of the last elements of the puzzle. Could almost never leave an unlocked rope for similar reasons.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. But it's funny how many people will think of setting up a huge chain of parts to divert a little man running through a puzzle when they could just stick a flashlight in his way.
