Boss: Okay everyone, I would first like to thank all of you for taking on this special assignment. As you are aware, tax day is nearing, so we need mass production of Accounted-For Amalgam. Here is the machine you will be using. Each of you will be assigned one of three tasks. Arms 1 to 10 will be on the large track loop and will grab the gold, bring it over the rejection glyphs, then output the final product. Arms 11 to 13  will be part of the waste handling unit. Arms 14 and 15 will grab quicksilver and bond it to the metals. The instructions for each task are the same and you only have to do three things: grab, move in the positive direction of the track, then drop. However, the timing is the hard part. You have to begin on the right cycle and have to repeat your instructions every 3 cycles without rest until we make enough products. Arms 1 to 10 start on cycle 1, Arm 11 starts on cycle 4, Arms 12 and 13 start on cycle 9, and Arms 14 and 15 start on cycle 15. Does anybody have any questions before we begin?

Arm 12: Excuse me, sir? I'm not so comfortable with handling quicksilver. Could I work on the gold instead?

Boss: Is there anyone on gold that would like to volunteer to switch places with arm 12?

Arm 3: I can do it.

Boss: Great. Arm 3, join the track loop with Arm 13. Arm 12, get in position next to Arm 4. Anyone else? Arm 15?

Arm 15: Yes, earlier you said to move in the positive direction of the track. Are you sure this track is set up correctly?

Boss: Let me see that track. Hmm... you're right. This track is reversed. You have a good eye. Okay Arm 15, you move in the negative direction. Any other questions? No? Okay, it looks like we can begin. I will count down from three and we can begin our first cycle. Three... Two... One... GO!

Arm 11: Hey boss? The track behind me doesn't seem to be that long. I might be running out of room to move this waste chain soon.

Boss: What? Who cut costs on this track? Wait... why are there calcification glyphs? All that guilder could have gone into making that track longer! With that length of track... it looks like we can only make 12 products. Everyone on the large track loop, pay attention! All of you need to halt right before Arm 5 reaches that gold atom for the third time.

Arm 5: Halt? But we can't!

Boss: What do you mean you can't? You need to stop producing waste after 12 products or the machine will crash!

Arm 5: We will be disqualified if we halt.

Arm 9: Yeah, and it would mess up P3 if we halted now anyway!

Boss: P3? Disqualified? What are you all talking about? Arm 5, have you already grabbed the gold twice? You all better halt when Arm 5 reaches that gold atom again. What are you doing? Halt! HALT! I SAID HALT! AAAAARGH!
