1. cant do it either

but now im angry... its mocking me... i will have victory, dammit!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I did get a little bit better with some practice and trying to think

about which are the best moves to make...I found out that you can move on the diagonal, which does help...Have fun!

:hi:

[Floogeldy]

3. I figured out the solution

I'll PM it to you if you'd like.

B-)

[PinkTiger]

5. Yes, Please.

It is driving me crazy and I don't have far to go......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Hi, Floogeldy......

The best I could do, and not consistently at that, was down to 3. Please PM me the solution, if you would, you clever lawyer/guitar playing gentleman that you are!

:loveya:

[merh]

9. Yes, please pmail me

I can't stand it, I'm hooked and I will be here until the morning trying to beat it. :scared: Please, dear god, put me out of my mysery. :scared:

[BikeWriter]

4. Oh no, I'm hooked!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I found it likewise very addictive!

What an awful waste of time, right? I said, RIGHT? Oh boy, he's really sucked in...can't even hear me!

:kick:

[BikeWriter]

14. Oh hell, this could take years...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Hi, BikeWriter!

If you like, I could PM you the solution that Floogeldy so kindly showed me! It's amazing...I have no idea how he figured it out...an analytical genius, I think...

:toast:

[BikeWriter]

28. No thank you, Ma'am. I'll either figure it out or...

perform ritual Hari Kari.

[HamstersFromHell]

7. It's the same game as the old golf tee pegboard game...

as sold in most every Cracker Barrel store (and 10,000 other places long before them).

If you want to look at it a bit differently, try this:

[Maestro]

10. I've got it down to two

but I think this game is part of some CIA psyops operation because I can't stop playing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. You are no doubt correct, Maestro!

The devil made me post this! :evilgrin:

[kedrys]

11. I really did NOT need this :D

I have to go to bed; I'm giving an all-day seminar tomorrow, and I'm not done with my class materials...and then THIS!

Have some freaking mercy. Please. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. I'm sorry, kedrys! But no-one forced you to come over to play...

I was just feeling lonely, and wanted to have some company...so this game was perfect to bring in all you good people!

I do hope you have a lovely day tomorrow...I mean it!

:hi:

Now, shut down your computer, and go finish the work you need to do...the game will still be here tomorrow, and all the days after that!

[texas1928]

16. GOD DAMN!!!

I finally figured it out.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Hey, tex, I was waiting for you to show up!

I knew that this would be right up your alley! I could NOT figure it out; Floogeldy had to help me...

:yourock:

[yvr girl]

17. I can only get down to two

In several ways, but I can't get past that.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Hi there, yvr girl!

If you'd like, I'll PM you the solution that Floogeldy sent me...and it works...

Glad you're feeling better...you are up late tonight!

:pals:

:hug:

[yvr girl]

20. Please send it to me

I'm going to bed soon

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. OK, check your PM in a few minutes, OK? nt

[Nailzberg]

22. Best I could manage was 4 balls left???

Am I stupid??

[Nailzberg]

23. Nevermind, I am stupid, I didn't know you could go diagonal/

Now Im down to three.

[Nailzberg]

25. Woo-Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got down to two. But that's it. I'm done now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Oh, no you're not stupid!

I had to have help to see the solution; it's complex to solve...If you'd like the solution, just post it here, and I'll PM you...

:hi:

[billyskank]

26. That's like a game in the UK called Solitaire

(whereas the game with cards you Americans call Solitaire we call Patience).

The board looks like this:

[Kenneth ken]

27. I got it down to one on the first try

of course, I have had the same sort of game in the Cracker Barrel/golf tee version that some else mentioned, for years.

And I knew right off I could jump diaganolly, so that helped.

And I think I got lucky, because at one point I was sure I had messed up.

So I'm going to retire with a 1 - 0 record. :7

[da_chimperor]

29. I got it down to three, now i'm going to try again.
