Captain Cabin's puzzle. Solution please.

Does anyone have a solution for it? I spent over two hours on that blasted puzzle and as far as I am concerned someone spiked the difficulty. Though I will admit I might have missed something fundamental but after a lifetime of puzzles, all types, I doubt it.

Do you mean the puzzle with the pearls?

if those pearls are red, green and purple, in movable circles then yes.

Well it really is hard to explain, I at least will try...

First I finished the left red pearl puzzle. Match a pair of green pearls right opposite to the two red pearls that share the middle wheel. And never touch those again, you need them for the last move.

then draw out all of the green pearls of the right wheel except one (I think those are 15 green pearls, so one is left with no match). Always place them green, purple, purple, purple, green.

Then spin the wheel and place them back in the right wheel one match after the other.
But be cautious, never thouch the green match opposite to the red one.

After that it gets quite tricky, since you probably end up with two purple pearls left in the right wheel beside each other... you have then to try... drag one out, spin, put it back in up to the point where those two purple pearls are the ones that share the middle wheel.

Then you only need to spin and finish the last match you prepared earlier...

Really hard to explain... hope it helps a bit

I've made recently a video about it and uploaded it on my youtube channel for you. That puzzle is somehow fascinating. It can drive you insane, if you don't take your time to think about it.

1min it took you to complete it? WOW!! I spent hours on it, giving up, watching tv, going back to it, etc because I didn't want to skip it in case it was part of an achievement. I can't believe you got it in a 1 min and a bit. WOW!! NICE JOB!!
