Something to get the “gears” moving…

[GrayHorizons]

ran through once, and i say close.

if i do it a second time, i'm sure the frustration will start, then i'll have to do it a third, fourth and fifth time to verify

I had to draw it out and still feel confused!

I would say open. Next challenge is to figure out the gear ratio 

[Diaper_Pin]

Close

 

[wcobra]

Close

[Nacreous]

Open, looking at the diagram with the red marks, to me it looks like an error in the last

2 gears, #13 at the bottom of the figure 8 belt should be and looks to be counterclockwise

so #14 should be clockwise and # 15 counter clockwise causing it to open.

I believe you are correct Nacreous!  Well done Grasshopper!

My wee brain was distracted by my Grandkids so I should've drawn it out to begin with :-)

[bluethunder]

Yup, I see the error of my ways...........Good catch!
