Level 15 (The Barn) - Windmill Puzzle

[D.A.R.K.]

I didn't get it, can someone try to explain without spoiler? Some hint, or something that could light my head? I don't want the answer, please, just something to understand how this puzzle work.

I don`t see how there can be any hinting without answering.
Try doing something else for a while and then come back and take a fresh look at the puzzle.

If that doesn`t work for you, try this
Look for difference in blades. Find one? Now look for another

It's a very simple math puzzle. Maybe you are over thinking it.

Thanks, I got it without the, it took a time for to understand how much each geometrical form values, I was mathing it wrongly.

Great to hear :)

the windmill solution makes no sense, probably because i assumed the starting values/numbers were in a corresponding position. i didn't think that the starting values would be INTENTIONALLY WRONG - Extremely poor puzzle design/implementation.

the Black shapes shouldn't even be on the blades as the puzzle and the solution render them irrelevant. and either the numbers should start out on 'blank' spots, OR have the player place them into the wheel (blade) from a separate area.

but based on the default positions i am trying to figure out, if Circle + Triangle = 3, then which negative image = 3 ? do the numbers add up ?? do i solve each one individually???

watching the hint/solution made no sense because the demonstration had the player moving the numbers around too many times before even resting on their final spot. thats why i had to search the discussion, to understand the solution, and now i see... OH the Starting position of the numbers HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOLUTION!!! Great Puzzle guys!!

Didn't understand this one either. Even watched the hint and ...nope, don't get it.
Followed what the hint did, didn't work (already moved two - tree pieces), moved a piece on random and .. solved

Count the spots on the shapes. e.g. if Triangle has 1 spot and Square has 3, then Triangle + Square = 4.

You won't gonna believe this... After more than a year I decided to replay the game because I forgot everything, I reset the game and start to play... Reach The Barn again, and again I got stuck in this puzzle, but this time I remember that I had created this post asking about it.

At first (before and now) I thought the numeric values were about the shapes' sides, and the dot would be something like the number of dots more, or the number of dots less, this confused me back at the time and confused me today again because, in puzzles, we are used to knowing how much a shape worth based on its sides.

So, I'm gonna explain how the puzzle works for those who didn't get it yet...

The dots inside the black shapes defines how much that shape value. Triangle = 1; Square = 2; Pentagon = 3; Octogon = 4;
