How to use the table: “Starts at” is the point in the solution video embedded lower on the page where that puzzle begins, and “Solution length” is how long the finished solution runs. The last row runs to the end of the video. Puzzle names follow the video, not a label shown in the game. You can also jump to any numbered puzzle from the Puzzle Finder.
