I do not know what this is, but I scored 7,800 on it the first time. I don’t know why, or what that means, or whether I should try again.
I don’t even know why I’m posting about it.

It is a puzzlement
I do not know what this is, but I scored 7,800 on it the first time. I don’t know why, or what that means, or whether I should try again….
Geez, what IS that?
10800 And I have no idea how.
There has got to be a logic pattern to the order of placement so taht you get “max Level on everything.
I suspect so, but I’m not sure what it is, nor why I should care. 🙂
I did manage to get booed with a score of 6800, though. That was exciting.
13500
I hate you.
What the frack?!? I got 3800 and booed 1st time, then 7300 and booed again. Whatever.
By the looks of it, its a building engine, where you have the material you just have to put them together in the right order.
Kinda like putting together one of those Sauder desk kits without directions. (Its a wonder this one has stayed together for 2 years….)
11900
12300 was my best…average was aroun 9300.
Weird thing. Still not sure what I was doing, but it was entertaining.
I fiddled around with it for an obscene amount of time. Finally I found the solution:
Orange, Metal Block, Blue Hills, Egg, Ladder, Pipe, Gear, Propeller, Tornado, Plate, Rocket Engine, TV
-The orange grows into a sun
-The block grows into robot armor
-The hills get bigger (and are turned green with plants by the rain from the pipe)
-The egg hatches
-The ladder grows until a guy finally climbs down (and eventually settles into the robot armor)
-The pipe spits out clouds (which blow away if they come out after the propeller is placed) and rains on the hills, eventually creating a lake, grove and lily in the lake
-The gear becomes a clock-like mechanism but can’t turn until the ball lifts off the ground.
-The tornado settles under the propeller
-The plate becomes a satellite dish
-The engine will blast off once the propeller and tornado merge
-The TV will level up all of the way automatically if the dish is maxed out.
The puzzle has moved, btw, to here. Traffic looks to be really heavy.
By George, Mike, I think you’ve got it. Bravo! And thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mike for doing that…I had the pipe and ladder reversed, but didn’t want to spend the time (ok, more time then I did, and writting down which order scored the highest after 6 tries…hey, quit laughing) to figure out what which piece I had in the wrong order.
If you ask me…and you haven’t, this is all just a psychology test waiting for innocent victi–I mean test subjects to come along. They’re probably studying how long people will spend trying to win a game with no discernible rules and vague positive feedback.
But some of the things you get from doing it in the “wrong” order are cool too. The volcano and the lake of lava, the little critter that lives in the tornado…
Where can I find a download link for that puzzle? I would like to have it on my PC constantly.
Can anyone help me?
I don’t know that there is one. It seems to be tied into that site. You might be able to see it via View Source and work from there, but that’s all I can think of.
I have placed the file into a zip folder for easy download.

continue to click on the pipe after it is done (when it is displaying your score–click repeatedly), and stuff will keep happening.
if you follow mikes instructions and win, and then keep clicking on the pipe it will reset and you will get another 6000 points… so you can have an infinite number of points… i mean thats kinda cool… i guess…
how do you get the lave of lava and the volcano critter?
never mind…. 🙂
