Hi, everyone! Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed lately that a lot of the puzzles are repetitive? For instance, you solve one puzzle and, before you have the chance to pat yourself on the back, the same puzzle pops up again, only a little harder. You solve that one and the same puzzle pops up again, only harder. At this point, after screaming "enough is enough already" at my computer, I usually hit the "Skip" button because they always seem to repeat the puzzles that I hate . Is it possible that the developers have actually run out of ideas for new puzzles? Susan

Hi, Marian! I don't mind puzzles that are found in most other games, but there seems to be a growing trend of increasing the difficulty of the same puzzle 2 or 3 times in a row. I just wish that some developer would come up with a good old fashion murder mystery because I'm beginning to tire of rescuing some relative from a band of characters with glowing red or yellow eyes <sigh>. We must be due for a new "Cadenza" game ! Susan

Hi, Jenny! There are some puzzles I don't even want to solve once, let alone 2 or 3 times in a row with increasing degrees of difficulty. I also enjoy rotating the pipes, but my favorites are piecing pictures back together (particularly if 4 are scrambled) and math calculations to come up with the combination to a safe. At one time, I was horrible at untangling the ropes but, with so much practice, I've finally got that one mastered ! Sliders are another story because I'm hopeless at them. Susan

I like the pipes too and the untangling of the ropes.. can't do sliders or the ones where you have to get all the lights on.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran

Hi, Marian! The slider puzzle is not my friend ! Hi, Winfrey! How could I have forgotten the lights, which are right up there with the sliders ! If ever I solve them, it's strictly a fluke! Susan

I like pipes and can usually get to grips with most sliders but am absolutely pathetic at untangling ropes There has to be a "formula" somewhere for dealing with them - but I've not yet found it !!

The untangling wires/ropes thing: the only advice I have is to start pulling them and extending them closer to the edges of the picture. I start from that point and eventually a method of dealing with it starts to present itself.

Yes, Marian. That is what I usually start off doing - but I hardly ever successfully make it to the end !! [ This is one of those puzzles where I admit I will lose patience and hit the "Skip" button ] Cheers. Mad

Hi, Mad! I do the same as Marian. I pull the ropes as far toward the edges as possible and then start untangling. If you work on the ropes one section at time, it will give you a better picture of which ropes to move where. I always have and always will hate sliders ! Susan
