Tunasa puzzle, with great odds

[malogoss]

Obviously, if you want to beat Tunasa puzzle on your own, without any help, don't read this.

I've stumbled not long ago on a way to solve this puzzle that has a rather low success rate. If I remember it was 50%? There's at least one much better way.
------
We'll use A, B, C, D, and E to represent the 5 possible animals (boar, crab, etc...)

We'll also assume that if the animal shown is A, then "hitting E" changes it to B. "Hit E" again, it becomes C, etc... and animal E cycles back to A.

Ok, first input, set it to A-B-C-D-E, pull the lever
(A in 1st position left, B in 2nd, etc...)

As long as we get nothing good (no bubbly animation), cycle all by 1 and try again.
So if we miss all 5 on try 1, second try would be B-C-D-E-A
miss everything again, 3rd try would be C-D-E-A-B

However, as soon as we see 1 or more bubbly animation (meaning that at least one position is solved), here's what we start doing:

1) Starting with the leftmost unsolved (no bubbles) position, "hit E" once. Only if the new animal shown already has a bubbly animation somewhere else, "hit E" again. Do that until the animal shown does not have a bubbly animation at another position. [Warning: "Hitting E" one too many time ruins everything, at any step of the process.] Go to step 2.

2) Moving right, go to the nearest unsolved position (unsolved = no bubbles). Go to step 3

3) If the animal shown has a bubbly animation at any other position OR if the animal shown is already selected on any position to your LEFT (even without bubbly animation), then "hit E" once. Repeat 3) as long as you have to "hit E" in the end. Then go to 4.

4) if there's one or more unsolved position in any position to your RIGHT, go back to step 2. Else, pull the lever and go back to step 1.

Slowly solve the whole puzzle 2 or 3 times this way and you won't need to look at the instructions anymore. It's easy.

On a 10+ win streak right now. What's your record?

Edit: There are 120 possible solutions to the puzzle. If you use this method correctly and if I'm right, the only time you won't solve the puzzle is if the solution is E-A-B-C-D. So that's a 99%+ success rate. I got my streak to 25, then I stopped trying. For the record, if this method only had a 85% success rate (which would already be pretty good), then that 25 streak had less than 2% chance of happening.
