ehh i dont see how this puzzle came so easy to everyone. i was re-arranging the pieces for a looong time, before i eventually gave up and googled the combo. it very easy to get the pieces set up all but one, then they dont let me move the last piece, its like you have to randomly move everything around, i dont see any pattern to the puzzle, even after getting the combo and watching it unlock. still makes NO sense, and i dont see how the puzzle uses logic at all
I keep forgetting that Bioware doesn't tell you the rules of the puzzle... so here you go:
1. The goal is to move the entire stack from one spot to another. (traditionally, it's to the opposite spot, but Bioware makes it slightly easier by making it just to another spot so you can't mess yourself up by making a 'wrong' first move)
2. You can only move one piece at a time
3. You cannot build inverse pyramids (meaning bigger pieces cannot be placed on smaller pieces)
Solving the puzzle is a simple matter of building smaller pyramids on each of the pegs, slowy building up a second pyramid until you finnally clear the way to move the largest piece. If you are at the point where there is nothing on the last peice, what you need to do is for the moment, ignore that there even is a last piece and rebuild the rest of the pyramids on one of the spots other than where the largest piece is. Once that's done, move the last piece to the empty spot and then tear down and rebuild the pyramid on top of it.
