Cute little mind puzzlers. I did maybe 5 or 6, but I can see where if I was a pre-teen it might be addictive.

I don't like that you have to place all the pieces. There's been 2 puzzles already that I solved, but because I didn't use all the pieces it didn't count. All I did was fit them in the board (they didn't serve any purpose) and I won.

Edit: The Incredible Machine was better. Or course, I was younger then, and even more easily amused than I am now.

Can I have my hour back?

ANyway, look out for the turtlespeed puzzle.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

YES!

with the flashlights, and the ropes, and the mice in the wheels, and the baseballs, and oh it just goes on forever...

I could put 2 pieces down and have yours done. I'd just have to figure out how to fit all the useless pieces in there so it would actually count it.

Hey, did one of you guys make the puzzle with all of the conveyor belts? I ask because the author is listed as "Skydiver."

Very nice, I must say.

Which brings me to another problem with the game, specifically the ranking system. The game ranks you based on how many points you earn. Very hard puzzles earn 5000, hard puzzles earn 4000 etc. to very easy at 1000. Each time you ask the game for a clue, it takes points away from the worth of the puzzle. However I had the game solve this one for me (I didn't place a single tile) and it only penalized me 3000 points. 5000-3000 point penalty = 2000, which is twice as much as one would earn for completing a very easy puzzle, without doing a thing!!

Anyway, if anyone is still playing this, my screen name there is "Schenker." I'm proud of a few of them.

Are you talking about the 'jump the shark' one? Way too easy.

Is there some approval process it goes through? I submitted one (author name is whatisnttaken) and I don't see it yet.

Yeah, it was mostly an excercise in wasting time and using as many pieces as possible.

Edit to add: You can actually win with one piece.
