Stuck in Machinarium? 
 
The solutions to most of the puzzles are on the following pages, so have a look before asking. You'll get the answer much faster that way. :)

Ok, so at the point you were when you were stuck, i was farther but had not turned off the water for the fountain yet, where did you find the third wrench to turn the fountain off with?

The three wrenches are as follows: 

I can't figure out how to beat the robot in the connect 5 game. Is there a trick? I don't really know strategy for that game and it drives me nuts that I am at a disadvantage with it.

" I'm about 4 hours in and it's great so far. I love the graphics, the music, the animation, etc. The robot is one charming little chap.
 
I can offer advice if you're suck somewhere early on in the game. I'm a little stuck myself tho:

As far as I can tell, my current tasks are: 1. Get the gramophone so the wrench guy will drain the water from the fountain. I've already shut off the water going to it. 2. get the old timer some sunflower oil. In my inventory I have some leaves, a kettle, a cat and a megaphone. If you've gotten past this part, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Figured it out. Wheeee! "

AAAAUUUUUGGGHH I am very stuck at the darn connect 5 mini game, Cant see the pattern I'm supposed to make at the same time as watch out the the AI's traps. Further assistance is needed for this deadbolt *points to self* Any help is appreciated. :)

How do I get the third wrench from the drain? I can obviously see it, but can do nothing to reach there. Guess there's something neede to do that?
 
With the five dots game, try building a cross consisting of your nuts, (5 moves needed). Sometimes that's possible, and then it's easy.
 
PS... anyone has got a clue what are the flies for? And what about the sliding puzzle under the cat? I lost one piece, the bird got it, and now it seems there's no route to be constructed :|

 Thanks, I'll try that strategy...
 
Wrench: 

FINALLY GOT IT, thanks you guys! Moving past connect 5!

OK, I drained the vessel, I'm moving on... So I'm at the kitchen window... It seems I need some pipe, but how do I get it?

You need to go get the cat. The cat is sleeping up the stairs to the left of town square. Take the cat back to where the band is. Make sure you've helped all 3 band members. :)

The strategy that worked for me was to leave spaces on the grid. like X O X O X O and work diagonally. Eventually I ended up with more possible ways to win than he could block off at once.

By pipe I assume you mean the item that was pulled out of the air conditioner. Put the pot back on the stove and put the pipe in the pot. You'll then get a length of black pipe.

What do you want to know about the greenhouse?

Putting the spoiler warning to good use!

Hey I dunno if you can dumb down the AI but unless you give me video evidence/help(,please) your 5 in a row method doesn't work. "

Here's a tip that a friend gave me that helped me in the end.  
 

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

The game has to be played with open threes. By that I mean that you must constantly attempt to connect three nuts that are open on both ends. He will continue to block your moves but as soon as he slips up you can make an open four and there is no way to block that because another piece on either end will win the game for you. It sounds a little harder than it is. When my friend was telling me this strategy (he is an avid player of the game in real life) I thought it sounded a little vague but I beat the computer on the first try when I used that as an active game strategy. So I hope that helps. 

 Let me know if this strategy works for you too. "

just finished the game , really cool :)
but kinda short. finished it in less than one day

Just i have found the way. I make the player with the loudspeker from the guy on the watch tower. Now i am on the elevator in the right of the greenhouse.

Ok, now that I'm done with the fuel for the lift, and have done the combination to activate the lever, how do I run this thing?

You have to start the motor. There's a pull thing in the corner. Afterward, use the lever.

you have to push it in the direction you want to go..
