How do you become good at Voltorb Flip?

Poink asked:


The US version of Pokemon HGSS waters down the casino with a one-room gaming club where you are given the Coin Case. Voltorb Flip plays like a cross between Sudoku, Picross and Minesweeper. On a square grid of 25 panels, each can be a 1, 2, 3, or a Voltorb (0). If you get the Voltorb, you lose all your coins. The first number you turn over is the base number, and each subsequent number is a multiplier. You are able to mark squares by what you suspect them to be before you turn them over. For each row and column, there is a note marking two values: One is the sum of the numbers in the row, and the other is how many Voltorbs are in the row.

If there are zero voltorbs in a row, then you can avoid marking any voltorbs in that row. If the same row’s sum is five, you can mark each panel with a 1, because the sum must be five and there are five panels without Voltorbs. Using this method, one can cross-examine each row and column to try and determine which panel can be what value. Sort of a logic process, but one that still seems to require much guesswork.

Are there any simple clues to this game to make it much easier to play? Sort of a process for elimination so that one can systematically determine all the possibilities? Sort of a quicker method of determining the final markings for each panel after analyzing each intersection based upon that row’s possibilities.

In summations, any hints or clues to guarantee the best possible outcome from each round of this game to avoid wasting any more time without simply picking every square of every row of zero Voltorbs?
If a row’s Voltorb count and Sum both equal 5, then that row can be ignored.

If a row’s Voltorb count equals zero, then that entire row can be flipped.

What nintendo ds game should I get?

Rain asked:


I’m looking for a new ds game and I can’t decide on what would be a really good game! Here are some of my favorite ds games:

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon-I basically fell in love with the mystery dungeon games! I never played a pokemon game before, except for these type, so I’ve only experienced this spinoff of Pokemon. However, I thought it was pretty darn awesome.

Super Mario Bros.-I bought this since I saw all the good reviews and I did enjoy it a lot, although it was kind of easy to beat. I did play it 3 times through though so I’d get my money’s worth!

Animal Crossing-This was one of my very first games and I enjoyed it a lot. Now, a couple years later its grown old to me since you do the same thing everyday basically and I cant do multiplayer with anyone. However, it did entertain me for a long while.

Lego Star Wars- This was the last game I got, and I did find it pretty good. I wouldn’t say it was the best ever, but it was okay.

Rune Factory 2-This game entertained me for a long long time. I found it refreshing and different from most games I bought before.

Brain Age 2-I basically did everything in this game, and found it slightly old except for the Sudoku which was pretty awesome in this game

And I’m just going to say I do have a version of NintendoDogs, so no one will recommend it. It WAS cute and pretty fun, but I got bored eventually.

Alright, sorry for listing all that if you didnt actually wanted to know a description for the games on why I liked it and blah blah =). The games I thought about getting are maybe a Sims game (My Sims Kingdom or Sims 2: Castaways?), Bowsers Inside Story, Zelda: Spirit Tracks or Phantom Hourglass, or MAYBE trying a pokemon game since I loved mystery dungeon. But I thought I’d ask, so if you have any insight on those games or something different to recommend please do! I **** spending 20-30 dollars on a game that turns out to be crappy. Thanks for your help!
Could you guys say why do? I’m so indescivive haha




Why do we get only one Sudoku per day on Yahoo Daily Games?

auntb93 asked:

You know, the ones they laughingly refer to as five-minute games? Sponsored by Ritz Crackers? Why just one a day of this well-designed program? Can you eat just one Ritz?

Anyone know where I can get more of one as well designed as that one?
Kyle, what is “miniclip”?

Sam, good try, but I had already seen both of those. The problem is that the Ritz-sponsored one is very well designed, and one can write the clue numbers in the squares. I can’t do that in the one from your first source. The value of that would be improved immensely if my printer worked. Then a pencil and eraser would do the job.

I did find one that’s pretty good and cost $19.99 to download. Not quite as good a design as the Ritz one though.

With no kind of help, real neither virtual.
it’s hard to believe that people could solve a sudoku game in just a few seconds. I don’t know the circumstances in wich that can be possible.




Where did the good Yahoo Sudoku puzzle go?

Barbara M asked:

Until a few days ago, Yahoo had a really good format for Sudoku puzzles that were available in easy, medium and hard every day. It allowed you to make notations in the squares as you went along, just as if you were doing it on paper. Suddenly it was replaced by the puzzle in the current format. I would sure like to know if the previous style is available at another site.
