Introduction
------------
Hey all! This FAQ contains the solutions to all the puzzles at Pokemon Puzzle
League's Puzzle University. Use at your own peril - do you REALLY want to
deprive yourself of the satisfaction of finally solving the one that has you
stumped? :)
However, if you absolutely positively cannot get past a puzzle and you're seconds
away from killing everyone around you with a rusty chainsaw, well, you've come to
the right place!
I'm also interested in hearing about solutions that require LESS than the given
number of moves. If you find one and want your name enshrined in my FAQ for all
eternity, send it to

Instructions
------------
Here's how I specify the solutions:
Basic Puzzles:
The columns range from A to E (left to right) and the rows from 1 up. To solve
the puzzle, simply position the cursor at each specified column and row and swap.
Unless otherwise noted, wait for any chains to stop before doing the next swap!
3D Puzzles:
Instead of listing the columns from A to E, the column will be relative to the
cursor's current position. So a "2L" means 2 columns to the left, "S" means the
current column, and "3R" means 3 columns to the right. Rows are specified as
usual.
Thus, to execute "3R4 1L2", move 3 positions to the right from the cursor's
starting position, and then to row 4. Swap. Then move 1 position to the left
and to row 2. Swap.
Unless otherwise noted, wait for any chains to stop before doing the next swap!
Action Puzzles:
This is my favourite class of puzzles, but solutions are hard to specify!
They'll be described similarly to Basic puzzles, except there are almost always
timing issues. Any timing instructions will be written in brackets immediately
after the swap they apply to. If an instruction applies to several swaps (which
should be done in quick succession), these swaps will be enclosed in {braces}.
The "1st drop" is the moment when gravity takes over after the first line
disappears. The "2nd drop" is the next time gravity takes over, etc.
