Puzzle No. 002
Picarats: 15



There's no way to lower the bridge and get across without inserting the crank into the correct slot!

Choose the slot that fits the crank shown below.





Hint One:  First, get a good, long look at the shape of the crank. How is the central axle shaped? Are the little protrusions around the edges of the crank triangular or square?

Next, look at where those funny shapes stick out on the crank. Starting to make sense?

Hint Two: While you need to pay attention to the actual features of the crank and slot, you also need to remember that the shape of the slot is a mirror image of the crank.

That's right, you have to stare at the crank straight on and then look for the slot that mirrors it.

Hint Three: The central axle on the crank has five sides. There are three shapes attached to the main axle, one triangle and two squares.

One of the small squares sits right on top of one of the central axle's five corners, while the other two shapes sit flush on two sides of the axle.
All right, now you have everything you need. Don't forget that you need to flip the crank's shape when searching for the slot!
Solution:

Nice job! Now drop that bridge!
