LANTERN FERRY
Festival 01 · A planning puzzle
Twelve bells until dawn
Carry a little light
across the tide.
The festival is waiting on the far bank. Deliver twelve lanterns using three river routes, eight fuel, and a tide you can see coming. Every crossing is a choice.

How the score works
- Each delivered lantern earns its printed value. Deliver by its due bell for 10 extra points; late cargo still earns its value.
- Each complete color set (one amber, one teal, one violet) adds 25 points. Up to four sets.
- At journey’s end, each remaining fuel adds 2 points. No points for undelivered lanterns.
- The journey ends after bell 12, or as soon as every lantern arrives. Higher is better. The festival and forecast are deterministic.

The river remembers
The lanterns are lit.
The three crossings
- Reeds: capacity 3, no fuel. Open at low or falling tide. Violet lanterns are too tall for the reeds.
- Channel: capacity 4, costs 1 fuel. Always open; accepts every color.
- Lock: capacity 6, costs 2 fuel. Open at rising or high tide; accepts every color.
- Return empty by any open route. Waiting stays at your current bank, uses one bell and restores one fuel, up to 8.
- Invalid commands change nothing.
