Sand Loop Level 371 Solution

Step 1: Direct sand from the top-left source towards the center.

Draw a long horizontal line starting from just below the top-left sand source, extending to the right, passing above the central rotating obstacle.

Sand from the top-left source flows along the drawn line towards the right.

Step 2: Guide sand into the top-right receptacle.

Draw a short diagonal line above and to the left of the top-right receptacle, connecting to the sand flow path from Step 1, to direct sand downwards into the receptacle.

Sand begins to fill the top-right receptacle.

Step 3: Direct sand from the top-right source downwards.

Draw a short vertical line just below the top-right sand source, guiding its sand downwards and slightly left.

Sand from the top-right source begins to flow along this new line.

Step 4: Guide sand into the middle receptacle.

Draw a small, slightly curved line below the path from Step 3, directing sand into the middle receptacle.

Sand begins to fill the middle receptacle.

Step 5: Direct sand from the bottom-left source towards the bottom-right.

Draw a long diagonal line starting from below the bottom-left sand source, extending upwards and to the right, creating a channel.

Sand from the bottom-left source flows along this newly created channel.

Step 6: Guide sand into the bottom receptacle.

Draw a short horizontal line just above the bottom receptacle, connecting to the channel from Step 5, directing sand downwards.

Sand begins to fill the bottom receptacle.

Q: How do I get sand into all three receptacles simultaneously?

A: You need to establish separate channels for all three sand sources from the beginning, carefully timing and positioning lines to guide each flow to its respective receptacle without interference.

Q: What is the role of the central rotating obstacle?

A: The central rotating obstacle in this solution serves more as an environmental element to navigate around rather than a direct interactive component. The strategy is to draw lines that route the sand with sufficient clearance, avoiding contact with the rotating part.
