OK, do this:

get a piece of paper, and draw a big circle.

make eight dots on the circle, and space them out as equally as you can.

make a smaller circle inside of the big one, and make the eight dots again

Keep this in mind: if you move clockwise, your going north, counter clockwise is south. Whenever you move east or west, your changing which circle your on.

Now, start on one of the conduits, and mark it with on your paper which one. Then, moving NORTH ONLY go all the way around until your back at the start. Whenever you find a broken conduit, make a mark(Important

here's how to mark it:

if it's the nroth conduit that's broken, mark it with an N, south, S, East, E west, W. power cannot move in that direction.

If you make this diagram, it will be much easier to solve the puzzle, try it!
