Sand Loop Level 438 Solution

Step 1: Set the top splitter block to distribute sand correctly.

Tap the top block until its value is '3'.

When sand flows, 3 units are observed going to the left path, and 3 units to the right path.

Step 2: Set the left middle block to ensure the bottom-left container receives 1 unit of sand.

Tap the left middle block until its value is '2'.

The bottom-left container visibly fills with exactly 1 unit of sand.

Step 3: Set the right middle block to ensure the bottom-right container receives 2 units of sand.

Tap the right middle block until its value is '0'.

The bottom-right container visibly fills with exactly 2 units of sand.

Step 4: Initiate sand flow and clear the level.

Tap the 'PLAY' (triangle) button.

Sand flows into both target containers correctly, and the 'LEVEL CLEARED' message appears.

Q: How does the top splitter block work in this level?

A: The number on the top block dictates how many units of sand go to the left path. The remaining sand from the total input (6 units) is directed to the right path. For this level, setting it to '3' causes 3 units to go left and 3 units to go right.

Q: How do the middle diverter blocks work for their respective containers?

A: The behavior differs based on the block's value: If the block's value is NOT '0', it diverts that many units of incoming sand, and the remainder goes to the container below it. If the block's value IS '0', it triggers a special rule to ensure the container directly below it receives its target amount (e.g., 2 units for the right container in this level), diverting any excess.

Q: Why does the right container receive 2 units when its middle block is set to 0, even though 3 units are arriving?

A: This is due to a specific game mechanic for this level. When the right middle block is set to '0' and 3 units of sand arrive, it acts as a 'smart' tap that precisely delivers its target amount (2 units) to the container, with the remaining 1 unit being diverted or lost from the visible path.
