Thank you so much for contributing to my lack of productivity today.

I can’t beat it either.

HA, you wasted about 30mins of my time but I got it. Now, to figure out how I did it…

you need to post a screen shot… no airbrushing allowed

LOL I should have thought of that. I tried to do it again but failed - guess I was lucky. Will have to try again now…

Took about a half hour, but I did it! Ha!

Just did it, my last one ended up in the bottom right corner. Haven’t repeated it.

I got it. Finished in a different place. The key for me was using diagonal jumping to get things set up.

I finished in the same spot. The key is seeing 3-4 moves ahead…kj

I was able to figure it but the times I did get it, each time the board looked slighly different. I started on the outer diagonal wall and worked inwards. In general, I tried to make it so that my last balls were relatively in the middle and then you have to start thinking several moves ahead.

Man that was too easy - took about a minute to solve.

Here’s what I did:

  1. Wasted about 45 seconds trying it out which convinced me that It’d take me forever to figure it out.
  2. Everything has already been solved atleast once and people love to prove they know how to do stuff others can’t
  3. Google can find 2) everytime.
  4. Searched ‘Ripley’s IQ Game Solution’ in Google
  5. First hit contained answer…
