> > Okay, I CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to configure the stupid conduits. I have tried 12 different combos and none of them work. I have read every hint I can find at least twice. I feel really stupid, because it seems like there is an easy pattern and I am missing it! Can someone help me? I have tried picturing a donut and the inner and outer parallels or whatever and that does not help at all. I have also tried the 6 dots for the east/ 6 dots for the west thing and that really isn't helping either. Part of my problem may be that I have no idea what a freaking conduit is or how it is supposed to connect to anything. Argh. I am very frustrated. Your help is appreciated. Thanks

> First off, remember that the station is a torus, or a donut-shape. Now, what you want to do is to systematically work your way from a starting point on the torus around its length, coming back to your starting point, turning the intersection so that they connect with each other. In doing this, you should circle the torus a number of times. If you start at one of the broken conduits, it makes your work that much easier. Following this advice, you should get it in two tries at most.

I had a tough time realizing how the conduits worked until I figured out what they looked like too. Here's my best description: think of each spot as a circle with four prongs coming out of it at the top, bottom, left, and right. Then think of an L-shaped bar inside the circle that can turn and connect to two prongs at once. The "broken conduits" are the prongs that are sticking out of the circle, and the L can therefore not connect to that conduit. You get it?
