Getting-To-The-Lawn is a puzzle. It requires Setting-Power-To-Chairlift, Summoning-Chairlift, Riding-Chairlift, Pushing-Boulder.

Setting-Power-To-Chairlift is a reversible task. The venue is Volcano Floor. The command-sequence of Setting-Power-To-Chairlift is { "turn yellow wheel 30 left", "turn red wheel 30 left", "turn blue wheel 30 right" }. Definition: Setting-Power-To-Chairlift is complete: if the mountain-spring is diverted, yes; if chairlift has power, yes; otherwise no.

Summoning-Chairlift is a reversible task. The venue is Chairlift Base. Requirements for Summoning-Chairlift: do the action of pulling ropeway lever. Definition: Summoning-Chairlift is complete: if mountain-spring is diverted, yes; if player is in bucket and bucket is not in Chairlift Base, yes; if location is regionally in High Altitude, yes; if bucket is in Chairlift Base, yes; otherwise no.

Riding-Chairlift is a reversible task. The venue is Chairlift Base. Requirements for Riding-Chairlift: do the action of entering bucket; do the action of pushing ropeway lever. A red flag rule for Riding-Chairlift: if bucket is not in Chairlift Base, rule fails.

A fast-forward rule for Getting-To-The-Lawn:

move bucket to Lawn;

now the pressure of yellow pipe is 10;

now the pressure of red pipe is 1;

move the player to Lawn.
