So is it to say that I have wasted the better half of your day?

That you have Vid, its sort of addicting though. One question... is it winnable?

« **Reply #17 on:** December 18, 2002, 12:58:54 PM »

It is winnable. I just won it on about my 15th try. There is a pattern to it also.

Ok, I just beat it twice in a row. A clue...have him go first, and take out the top row as soon as you can.

Ah, the pearl game. I remember spending so many hours on that before figuring it out.

You have to let him go first. Eventually you want it so that at the beginning of his turn, one pearl is in one row, two pearls in another row, and three pearls in another, while the last row is empty. Working it from there is pretty easy.

There\'s a simple way to cheat so that you win 100% of the time with ease, but I\'m sure it\'s been figured out already.

Yeah, that was the basic strategy I used too. I just pretty much worked my way backwards, figuring out what I could do to trap him. That\'s what seemed to work.

I hate him.

Roofles, I remember being obsessed with this game. I remember spending hours last year trying to figure out a pattern to beat him. I did it once on time, but by accident.

I eventually figured out thw whole 3 2 1 0 thing by noticing that\'s a position you could not come back from(same with 2 and 2 when its your turn) and could beat him every single time.

If you really, REALLY want to beat him then follow way\'s intructions. Work him down to 3 2 1 0 and you\'ll always win. Its not even hard to do that at all.

Very irritating.

There is an easiest way to beat him that doesnt need any thinking at all.

Just open 2 windows.On window 1 let him do the first move and do the same move on window2.Let him play on win2 and do the same move he did in win1.Continue doing this and you ll beat him on the second window.
