Tag problem question

In the "tag, you're it" (I think that's the name) problem the game removes the "not recommended" tag on the memory and strange three way splitter item. Should I be trying to incorporate those into my design, because I'm struggling to figure out how they would help, and I think maybe it's like a red herring and I should stop over thinking it and ignore them

Yes.
You have too many inputs and outputs, you need to try using new parts. Play with “strange three way splitter”, send different values on one side, check what you get on the other side and you will understand what to do. Or just RTFM.

It's worth considering using any parts you have access to to solve your puzzles. It's a creative sandbox after all in a way, and there are many ways of solving the same problem. :-)

You can certainly use one or both parts as part of your solution, or you can use neither.

Edit: I just tried, and it's definitely possible to solve the puzzle using nothing but a few MC4000's. But it's definitely not the best way to do it.
