So if I gift you tea, it won't come out of my Inventory? That's really what I want most, too.

I really don't think the Christmas challenge was winnable unless you spent real $. I was at the top of the leaderboard then, and had basically hoarded all my energy and talismen since starting the game, so feel I should have been pretty much in the best position of anyone to win. I finished on the SS equivalent of High Explorer 28% (with about 290 Christmas balls in hand), but had not even completed the third collection (using silver horseshoes I spent rubies on + the Wasp Talisman). I would have completed the 30 quests in most of the SS challenges at that level using the equivalent talismen. I wonder why they didn't extend the event, given they must have known hardly anyone had completed it? I think you were more than justified to complain!

I think they decided 3 taps was too hard, and reduced it back to 2 taps, so don't worry about that one! I have to say, though, that after training myself to do three taps, two taps is now a breeze!

I can try to explain the rotating one, but you might have a different variant to me. At the moment, I have 4 dials. If you do a little rotate of each one, you'll see that two of them toggle back and forth, instead of just going round and round. Those are the two you need to fit into place first. Let me know if you think that's the one you have, and I'll try to explain it more. (I need to go play it some to work out what I do!)

With some of the others, I find it helps at first to pause the game and write down on a piece of paper which dials each "rotator" moves (sorry, I can't even think of the right terms)--speed and direction of rotation usually don't seem to matter. When you look at it on paper, you can work out by logic which order you need to do things to get all the dials into place. (Eg, one rotator will only move one dial, so that's the one you do last.) Once you work out your system, the puzzle is basically the same every time until the next update (just that, for example, one play, it might be the first lever that rotates 4 dials at once, the next play it might be the third lever that does that). I'm probably as clear as mud, and I've exhausted myself into the bargain, so I'll stop here for now!
