    1. I forgot how to do this one. Remembered it was something unusual...not what you'd first think. Anyway I dug through all the spam on http://www.robozzle.com/forums/thread.aspx?puzzle=444 and eventually it came back to me.

      No stack.

      F1 pretty much deals with the reds; F2 deals with the blues.

      All 5 instruction in F1 are used. The last being a loopback jump to F1.

      Only 2 instructions are used in F2. The last (second) being a loopback jump to F2 IF blue!

      So F2 is just:

      1. Fwd
      2. goto F2 if Blue

      So from F1 if you jump to F2 on a red, F2 will eat up the blues.

      If you start on a red, you would turn on the 4th red.

      Need I go on?

      ok

      ok

      F1 below...




      1. F2 if red
      2. F2 if red
      3. F2 if red
      4. Left if red
      5. F1
