this scene does not work for me because of global variables (when another person opens the scene, they donot have all the global variables required, such as "booms") global variables are not too good of a practice. use
scene.my.variable
(ex: scene.my.booms instead of just "booms") because global variables can cause Algodoo to get problematic if they play that scene
Xray - by global variables, I didn't mean scene.my, I meant just the variable name itself, for example, just typing "jump = 0.5" in the Algodoo console. I was saying it would be better to use scene.my
Sorry for the confusion!

When I click a rivet and move it to another hole, the first rivet duplicates and now I just have a rivet without its holder, as well as another rivet in the hole I placed it on. Is this a bug? The game seems impossible to play.
SpineSalad - to use [loaded] textures, just put boxes with all the textures you need to use and put them out of view. if you load a texture with a script in algodoo and someone else sees it, if it is not already defined in the scene it will not render the texture.
almost SOLVED! That was amazing! There are five options: 3 x 2 x 6 and 2 x 2 x 9 and 1 x 4 x 9 and 1 x 1 x 36 and 3 x 3 x 4 (because of prime factorization). Here are all the sums:
Now to analyze: after Clue 2 was said, the census person said it's still not enough information. This means that there was a striking choice between options 1 and 5.
Now I am fully willing to say that the last clue was supposed to say "youngest son" (maybe???) because that would isolate only Option 1, which is 3 x 2 x 6 (because 3 x 3 x 4 has TWO youngest sons). However, I am stuck after this point
this means that the comment by the census person "that's not enough information" doesn't matter? Notice that the person probably saw the house number, and all the possible ones are 2 digits, so what does this mean?
We have:
3 x 2 x 6, sum = 11
2 x 2 x 9, sum = 13
3 x 3 x 4, sum = 10
1 x 1 x 36, sum = 38
1 x 2 x 16, sum = 19
1 x 3 x 21, sum = 25
1 x 4 x 9, sum = 14
1 x 6 x 6, sum = 13
...
There are two options which have a sum of 13, that is, 2 x 2 x 9 and 1 x 6 x 6. The third clue singles out 2 x 2 x 9 (notice: "MY oldest son", only ONE oldest son). Thanks! Now the puzzle is as clear as day

a_bored_coder - I was in the middle of reading your reply, and I immediately made the comment above after reading "there are 8 options" and thought of 1 x 2 x 16 and the other 1 x # x # combinations...
Cool_S - it's that type of puzzle where "I do not know" means something, it means that there cannot be a situation in which there is enough information to know.
