Binary ball outputs

#1

I’m wondering if it is possible to make a machine that outputs blues as 0s and reds as 1s corresponding to a bit.

#2

This is for 1 bit

#3

If you mean that you set bits and the colors of the balls output correspond to the bit settings, then see this solution for a 4-bit output machine: Representation of a 4-bit binary number - #3 by lennypitt

I created this, it is three bit, left marble (after operation complete) corresponds to the left of the bottom three bits, blue to start, ignore the rightmost blue marble.

Btw blue means 1 red means 0 I also noticed that this is similar to challenge 38 in the book.

Tortol, Which ball will remain in the interceptor (what color), and is there a rule?

#8

Conclusion: If the decimal number is even, a blue ball will remain in the interceptor, and if it is odd, a red ball will remain in the interceptor.

#9

@Tortol : that’s what I also noticed!
