Use your mouse to drag the balls. The idea is to jump over one to an empty space. The one you jump is removed. You want to have only one ball left at the end. http://www.ripleys.com/games/iq.html

Got it! Took around 8 times so any 6 year old that hasn't forgotten their ADD meds should get it in 3 or 4 tries.

Its pretty easy, got it on my first try. You just gott see that you can jump diagnoally. Makes it much easier...

ARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

So frustrating! I've never been any good at these kinds of things. Best I can do is 3 marbles left over.

Just did it again for fun, there are multiple ways of doing it.

Huh? How do you play this game? :confused: I tried moving the balls to the empty square, I tried moving the balls to the square with the another ball already on it, I even tried moving the balls into the darkness. I'm at a loss.

Ok, nevermind... figured out how to play the game. Can't seem to solve it though...

I finally did it, but I probably couldn't tell you how.

I tried it again and it still took me like 15 tries. I think I might be onto it though. My final square was the same in both successful attempts.

*edit* Took me 3 tries this time. Same final square.

*edit again* I got it. 13 moves it takes me to to the purple square on the left hand side. Anyone else got too much time on their hands, and have a pattern picked out?

Ok I admit I am spending too much time on this. But I am waiting in a Toyota dealership killing time until my ride is ready, so here is a page that I put together showing the pattern that I followed:

Okay, first attempt I had only 2 left. This is not that easy... back to playing. :stupid:
