Does a transition from one first class lever to a second class lever count for points. Also, do transitions from a second class lever to a pulley, and then a first class lever to a pulley count as to different transitions and points

Re: levers
As long as the transfer is different, like first to second, second to third, and third to first, etc. all count for points.

I think this was addressed in a FAQ, although I'm not sure.aparande wrote:Does a transition from one first class lever to a second class lever count for points.

No. Rule 4c says ". . .one Simple Machine type to a different Simple Machine Type." Rule 3e lists the six Simple Machine Types, one of which is "pulleys". Therefore 2 levers of different classes are machines of the same type and would not qualify for points per rule 4c.
No. These are both Lever --> Pulley, and per rule 4e could be incorporated into the device, but only one instance would count for points.aparande wrote:Also, do transitions from a second class lever to a pulley, and then a first class lever to a pulley count as to different transitions and points
