That's amazing. Possibly the cleverest thing I've ever seen on XKCD, and I don't say that lightly.

What a fun tool, and I was embarrassingly proud to finally solve my first section!

Wow, yours looks much more difficult than mine. I just had red balls coming out on top and having to leave at the bottom. Guess I'll try another one.

[–] cron@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Same for me. I was wondering if there is another difficulty or so

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it was really tricky, I had to start again like 5 times!. Then the next one was like you describe, just one colour, one entrance at the top one exit at the bottom :-)

xkcd machine that separates balls

That's my submission. Balls get separated by sword and this anti-gravitational thingy
