Starts with the red lever and the third bit pointed to the right. We’ve had some debate on whether the board needs to be reset to its original position prior to each lever pull or whether any bits or gear bits remain as the are before a second and above start.
Since the instructions provide examples rather than a specific sequence, my stance is everything resets before the next start other than specified inputs, and that’s how he solved this one. The third bit always starts facing right before a lever pull.
