I too am enjoying this game. Been having some computer troubles for some time, so I haven't
been able to chime in as much as I'd like. Photobucket hasn't been playing nice with me either. lol
Hearing a variety of approaches & seeing them carried out and explored.
Questioning one method or seeing another one work, or maybe not work.
It's just a great way for us all to learn something new together. Thanks.
Before I throw in my 2 cents, I wanted to weigh in
on some of the things that have been discussed....
1) I agree on an all wheels approach. For
me anyway, I nearly
always start
with an all wheels rotation now - be it AWL or AWR. It just makes the most
since to me. I like the good odds of catching one (or more) gates - and I'm
usually apt to find a gate sooner than if I were exploring a single wheel.
I usually continue with this theme after finding a gate... and run multiple
wheels whenever possible. Obviously, if w2 is the first to read, it's not
practical to run 1&3 together, lol. But if 1 or 3 read first, then I usually
run the remaining wheels together. 1&2 or 2&3
2) Trial combinations? Absolutely! If you even
think you may have found
all 3 gates, why not? Ya have nothing to lose and it doesn't take that long.
I prefer to simply dial all #'s from the direction in which they were found.
In this case L-L-L. Rotational conversion at this point requires too much
thought for me, lol.... not to mention you'll be creating room for error.
I know we've discovered a bit more since this AWL graph...
but I'm going to base my thoughts on this one alone.
(as if this was the 1st and only one we've done).
3 POI: 33, 50, and 73.
33 is by far the most promising.
73 seems to bare more of a signature than 50.
However, 50 does give us a deeper reading than 73.
This is a pretty nice graph. I'd be happy to have it in front of me after just one revolution.
Several promising areas. Not all of them may pan out to be actual gates, but there's
plenty to roll with. Just a matter of sorting some things out. "Who's on first?" lol
Whenever I catch two or more areas in one revolution I tryn' utilize both areas for parking/isolating.
ie. Park 2 of the wheels in one POI and run the remaining wheel (by itself) through the other POI.
Similar to high/low testing, the goal is to tag one or more of these areas to their respective wheels.

For example: I might park 1&2 @ L50 and run w3 AR through the area of 33.
If the drop occurs, then I know the gate at 33 belongs to wheel 3. You wouldn't
have to take alot of readings either - 2 would suffice. Maybe one at 36, then 33.
If the drop does not occur, might as well bring w3 around a bit further and take a
couple readings through 73 as well. Check some things out with minimal rotations.
Or, you might try parking 1&2 @ L73 (instead of 50) while running w3 thru 33 & 50.
Unable to tag one of these gates to w3? Explore w2. And finally w1. Parking & isolating.
Some other examples as you move on might be: 1&3 @ L50... 2AR thru 33 and/or 73.
Or exploring w1. 2&3 @ L73... 1AR through the areas of 50 and 33. You get the idea.
Obviously, there's a more systematic approach to all of this if you wish.
But honestly I usually just shoot around tryn' the most likely scenarios first.
In this manner, you'd be surprised how much info you can obtain in just a
minute or two. Before you know it you're in, or running the final wheel.
Personally, I'd focus my initial efforts towards tagging 33 to a wheel.
It's certainly the most definitive gate on the graph. Then go from there.
That's just me. Hope it helps. Also hope someone maybe improves or
critiques this train of thought so I can up my game too.
Thanks again for this thread. Enjoying it!
