Art the Carny - Crystal Ball Puzzle

can you help with this puzzle

I got all 3 wheels lined up red, green, blue (clockwise) with the 1 & 2nd wheel sharing a blue crystal and the 2nd & 3rd sharing a red one but nothing happens. I have done it in reverse order also (red, blue, green) but it still does nothing. What am I missing???

Thanks!

How do you do it???? Help!

The first wheel has to be all red, except the one that it shares with the second wheel. The second wheel needs to be all green, except the one it shares with the third wheel. The third wheel needs to be all blue.

I am totally confused. Do the colors on each wheel change? How can any one wheel be all one color?

I'm a little confused as how you get the colors of the balls to change.
I understand how to use the levers to spin, but not how to change the colors.
Thanks so much for the help

Look at the center of each wheel. One had a red jewel; one has a green jewel; one has a blue jewel in the middle. The object of the puzzle is to move the red circles (jewels) to the wheel with the red jewel in the center, all the green circles to the middle wheel, and all the blue circles to the wheel with the blue center stone.

On the left there are two levers and a color control on the very right of this area. You will see a color bar above the button which will indicate which wheel will move when you pull the two levers. One lever moves the wheel counterclockwise, the other lever moves the wheel one space clockwise.

You just have to work out how to move all the red circles to the left wheel (except for the space which intersects the middle wheel, that should be a green circle. Then move all the blue stones to the very right wheel. This should leave all the green circles in the middle wheel.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info. I guess I just need to practice more, I can't seem to get all one color gems in one wheel. Do the gems actually change color or can you switch them. It doesn't seem to matter what I do. I can't get them all one color.

The gems don't change color, you switch them from one wheel to another.

I suggest concentrating on the red wheel first. Move any red gems from the far right wheel to the center one, then fix the red wheel so that it only has red gems on it. Then work on getting the far right wheel to be just its color. I was using the switch that changed which wheel I was turning a lot, bouncing between two different colors.

Thanks for the tip. I finally got what you meant by switching the colors. I was just being dense. I got it.
Thanks

The wheels rotate. You can move a color circle by rotating the wheel it is on until it intersects another wheel. Then switch the control to rotate the second wheel. For example, if there is a red circle on the very right hand wheel (which has a blue center, IIRC), select the blue bar with the push button control and use the levers to rotate the blue wheel until the red circle intersects the green wheel. Then use the push button to switch control to the green wheel and rotate it until the red circle intersects the red wheel. Then you can switch control to the red wheel and move the red circle around on it.

I think you have all red on the left wheel except the one spot which shares a slot with the green wheel. The same is true for the blue wheel. The circles should all be blue except the one which shares a circle with the green wheel.

Thanks locoowl = that helped a lot!!!!!!!!! Couldn't figure that one out - thanks again Jay

Thanks much, lococwl... The strategy guide doesn't explain this particular puzzle very well. Your explanation got me right through ;-)

i am still stuck on the three wheel thing , just read the post and i will keep trying thanks .Great something a bit more challenging at last!

Your really close.The order is red,green then blue.The Red and Green wheel share a Green crystal and the Green and the Blue wheel share a Blue crystal.My User Name is S2A4.

I want to thank you for the help on this puzzle, I have been playing with it for days and not getting anywhere.
Thank You,

Locowl--thanks so much. I didn't realize that the jewels could be moved to the other wheels!

I decided well after this game came out to give it a try. I found it to be o.k., I let some of the puzzles go for the second go round, but I can not figure out [b]WHERE TO spell out the word FORTUNE. I have it all done but this one. What am I not getting??????
