Great job Afkan,

I've found something else interesting but so far no joy in opening it. I dont seem to be able to apply what I have found out to make progress.

The prototype washer cylinder (which I am happy and proud to own) has a 5 yen coin in it indeed,
It also has an engraving on the top that I think the others may not have (or do they?). It has no number on it though (as you may have noticed from the opening emails).

Afkan I can't believe you solved it within 1 day! What did you think you were doing? Why did you not get overly confused by this puzzle? It took me longer than RevOrange to solve it!

Wil has told me I've also got a prototype version which doesn't have the rod :D

I'm not sure what lead me to solve it so quickly (well I have an idea but I won't put it on here as I don't want to ruin the experience for others ;) )

Unfortunately I've also managed to flub mine so it'll have to go back to Wil :(
