AR2 A 272 Ferris Wheel (ends 9/9/2013 @20h00GMT)

[bythelee]

Welcome to the 272nd AR2 A contest: Ferris Wheel

There they were, having fun at Walt Dillo World, when the Ferris wheel broke down.
Can you help the stranded dillos to safely exit the wheel?
(Please don't ask why the exit is at the wheel axle and not ground level - it's purely for contrived challenge difficulty purposes. )

This might look simple and straightforward, but I'm hoping it proves to be a much more technical, engineering problem than usual. (Crosses fingers and toes....)

AR2 Version 2.1.3 Beta is used, make sure you use the correct version.

Good luck!

40 min in and all I can say is rock hard

Oh. Ummm. Sorry about that.
I thought perhaps it was time for a "challenging" challenge.
The POC did take me the best part of an hour.

It's perhaps a little early to capitulate, but if others feel it is too impossible, then please voice your opinions.....

[Arunion]

interesting challenge ^^ 500+

[mark_man]

Im up for hard ones ,just a bit stuck at the moment .I will get there in the end
I have a marker now at 500 that is also helpful

Had some good ideas that failed miserably
I'm sure I can solve it but it won't be clean or efficient

Had some good ideas that failed miserably

Awesome. I never expected to hear Rob say such things.
(while I seem to say them a lot these days....)

I was hoping there wasn't going to be a "one-bar wonder" quick trick for an easy solution.
So I guess that's mission accomplished, so far.

PS Congrats to Arunion for being first to a solution!

[Arunion]

Well this is a first I wasn't outbid within the first day

[mark_man]

I'm still well stuck ,two more hours gone and I'm no further forward .

[rob]

I'm in

555+

[Arunion]

600+ Now let's see how long it takes

I'm still well stuck ,two more hours gone and I'm no further forward .

This looks like being the first ever challange I've made where there hasn't been a simple trick for a trivial solution.

Keep at it guys!

(PS - I gave it five days, but perhaps it needs seven? On the other hand, will that just prolong the misery? Thoughts?)

[mark_man]

well I'm going to take rockets out with 950+ and over the moon just to complete this

[rob]

glad to see you made it
