Puzzle elements


Overview

When you enter the puzzle, you see a room very similar to Puzzle 3, where there are two emitters on the back wall. Now instead of 3 receivers, we have 5, and we have two RGB converters in addition to the accumulator. The progress wheel is just behind the blue door.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]

If you're having trouble getting started:

Feel free to replay Puzzle 3 to get the general idea.

If you're still stuck:

[ hint ]

If you're having trouble with the green receivers:

[ hint ]
Notice that the red and blue emitters are perfectly suited to give and RGB connector the ability to produce green light directly.
