Cups and peas puzzles
This variation on the tilt theme requires you to capture all the peas in cups of matching colour. An empty cup will always rotate to catch a pea, but will also drop it again, at the first opportunity. So re-arranging the peas is one half of the challenge and synchronising their capture is the other.
Unoccupied cups will always rotate to catch a pea if possible, but will also drop a pea if the path is clear. Black cups are spare, they do not have matching peas.
Aim
Fill all the cups simultaneously with peas of their respective colour.
