I found an answer by playing with some lego bricks. Then I realised that I could remove 6 bricks and have it still work. Then I wrote the attached code to check my answer.

I found it was easier to do by starting with two blocks and trying a few different combos for each until I could get it to work and I got lucky enough that the first one I got to work was the correct answer. If you are having trouble getting it to work or don't have the abundance of free time that I do to do it the long way here it is

CAUTION!!!!
The answer is behind this wall!!!!

We are only four days into our journey here on the PRS Exsuscito and a severe disagreement is already underway. Not between the rival horologists, as might be expected (although I suspect that is only a matter of time) but between the horologists and the captain: the ship is heading off course. Captain Harrison refuses to discuss the issue and tersely says that he is "following his orders." What orders? "I cannot help you Mr. Kennard" Naturally we are all in a state of uproar. Solitano is demanding that the ship turn around, and Green wants to know the source of the orders. Frankly, I am not overly worried for my safety; Captain Harrison is known to be an upstanding man and the Exsuscito has an excellent navigator. I am more concerned about what this means for the expedition. Even when it began, I failed to understand why the Academy decided to test different methods of determining longitude by simply throwing all the city's horologists on a single ship, even if their chronometers are not yet finished. With the ship heading to an unknown destination, the expedition is descending into lunacy. I have tried to spend my time productively, by testing my chronometers and making various measurements on the ship. I surmise that centrifugal forces may affect the counter oscillating mechanism I employ but time will tell. I have been engaged in some interesting discussions with my fellow horologists; not only are they experts in the longitude problem, but I suspect that some of them know more about our ships other mission than they are revealing.
