 Let's say, for example, that on the mine the crystal that is the odd crystal is crystal #3. To determine which crystal is linked to #3 we will work crystal #1. If we work crystal #1 and get some ore then this is in fact the crystal that is linked to crystal #3. We would update our chart as follows:<br><br>

-What this means is that anytime the current odd crystal is crystal #3 we would work crystal #1 which is it's linked cyrstal.  Also no other cyrstal will be linked to crystal #1 so the #1 crystal is x'd out for all of those cyrstals.

 * Each crystal only links to one other crystal
 * No crystal is linked to more than one time

		+	For platinum mines, the crystal that you will need to know the link for is determined by whichever crystal on the mine is different in color from the rest. At times the colors may be extremely close in color so that telling them apart is very difficult. For the most part though seeing the odd crystal isn't very hard.

	First of all you will need to determine a numbering scheme for the crystal on the mine. I usually number the crystals starting on the top row going left to right as 1, 2 and 3 then on the bottom row from left to right as 4, 5, 6 and 7.<br><br>		First of all you will need to determine a numbering scheme for the crystal on the mine.
