No this is actually binary counting, the blue color means a 1 and when theres nothing it means 0. Add up all the numbers next to the blue dots and you get the number that was counted to.
Only it goes a little too fast, when it's still working on 16 it counts to 17 already.
Yes, you can calculate everything that is calculatable with a physics engine such as phun (now, in practise it's not possible, since phun doesn't support an endless amount of memory etc.).
Right guys, basically this counts in binary. If you look in the black column, there are blue 'dots'. If you add the corresponding values of these dots together every time a ball is dispensed the value increases by 1 at a time. The highest possible value it 63. The angles of the 'switches' are perfectly design to 'switch' each and every time a ball hits them. Not genius, but original.
it takes 2 balls to "flip" the first "switch" so that that 2nd ball can hit the second switch. that means the second switch is hit every 2 balls. it also takes 2 balls that hit the second switch to flip it in a position that can hit the third switch, which means you need four balls to hit the third switch. Put that rule on the fourth switch, thus to hit the forth switch the third switch needs to be hit twice, (3rd switch hit twice = 8 balls), so if the fourth is hit..

try adding a control to the ball-release mechanism !! and you are done !! xD
cause the balls are dropping while the previous one is still doing the calculation =D

The mechanism lets the balls in too fast! It doesn't fully tick over before it starts adding ones and two again.
Still awesome despite that!

It skipped 4 and went from 3 to 5. I don't know if any other numbers skip, probably since the pattern repeats.
Zelox777 2 years ago
it did not skip to my eye, just another ball landed at the same time
InsuWolf 2 years ago
it does skip
littledoomudbog 2 years ago 2
it did not, only one ball is supposed to be in at a time. so when another goes, it appears that it has skiped.

seriously, do not post something including material you dont really understand.
never saw a binary watch? it uses the first 6 numbers of the power series of 2: 2^0= 1; 2^1= 2; 2^2= 4,...
if you add a few of them together, you get every number to 60. thats exactly the same.

for any1 confused, binary is a base 2 number system. Our regular number system is base 10.
For our base 10 number system, possable digits go from 0-9 (10 digits). In binary there are only 2 possable digits, 0 and 1.
In our number system each increase from right to left hold 10 times the previous digit.
431 is basically 400 + 30 + 1.
For binary each digit from right to left doubles in its value. The number 1101 translates to 13, because
1 1 1 1
8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15.
Hope is helps :)
