- Hey all,
-
- Someone posted to the list requesting help on level 26 of The Incredible
- Machine, level 26. I didn't reply right away, because: 1) I wasn't sure
- which level it was, and 2) I couldn't remember how I solved it. So, I
- went back and played it again, and now I remember. Here it is
- (after a form feed, that is)

- Ahh, here we are. Here's what you do:
-
- 1) Attach a string to the lower part of the teeter totter below the
- bowling ball. Thread it through a pulley placed on the bottom center of the
- screen to a light bulb, which will be placed with a magnifying glass to the
- right of the cannon.
-
- 2) Place an incline, with the lower end facing left, in between and slightly
- above the two buckets.
-
- 3) Place a pistol facing right under the teeter totter at left, lined
- up with the bowling ball you wish to knock into the hole. It should
- be just above the platforms along the left.
-
- 4) Place a teeter totter underneath the left bucket, with the up side to
- the right and directly under the bucket. Attach a string to the up side
- of the teeter totter and thread it through a pulley on the left edge of the
- screen and slightly below the platforms. Finally, attach the end of the string
- to the gun.
-
- Run the machine. This is what will happen:
-
- The bowling ball will roll down and hit the teeter totter, which will pull
- the light switch via the pulley. The light through the magnifying glass
- will ignite the cannon, sending a cannon ball towards the left. The ball will
- hit the wall, bounce off of the incline and roll into the left bucket (you
- may have to experiment to get this right). The left bucket will come down
- on the teeter totter, which will pull the string and fire the pistol. The
- bullet from the gun will fire across the center (now that the buckets are
- out of the way) and strike the bowling ball, causing it to drop into the
- hole. Voila!
-
- If you need any more help, let me know. Personally, *I* could use some
- help on level 48, the one where you have to use the trampolines and
- other things to get the cannon balls to set off a rocket, which will
- cause the monkey to start riding, or something. Suffice it to say that the
- level is pretty tough.
-
- hope this helps,
- -Mike
