THE SLEEPY PARADE / A CLOCKWORK PUZZLE
A little light.
A new morning.
The clocks fell back. The woodland didn't.
Guide three sleepy keepers to 0, together.
Bring everyone to zero on the same beat.
Every dial has twelve positions, 0–11. The gold dots show that keeper's amber window. Amber moves a keeper inside its gold window: Owl +2, Fox +3, Moth +4. Outside the window, it stays still. Violet does the opposite: it moves keepers on the pale dots by the same amounts. A quiet beat moves everyone +1. Dials wrap from 11 to 0.
Preview the next positions on each button. All three must reach 0 together within the beat budget. Undo as much as you like. Match the shortest route for three stars; finish with one extra beat for two. Hint reveals your next shortest move. Hints cap that attempt at two stars.
Keys: A amber · V violet · Space quiet beat · U undo · H hint. These are fictional clockwork rules.
