For all those Perplexus fans:
I have a small challenge to try..

Cheers,
Burgo.

Nice toy! But it have been mentioned several times before. I know I have =)

Hi Sigurd,

Sorry, perhaps I was not clear.. the challenge is to get the silver ball in the position in the photos

Cheers,
Burgo.

I've seen these a bit in the past and they didn't seem that interesting. I got the epic version for Christmas and I've changed my mind. It's fun but sometimes really annoyingly challenging. I wish there were more checkpoints to get back on when you've fallen off.

Yeah, "My kids" got this one for Christmas.. I thought, if I like it I will get the Epic.. the Epic is in the mail, I was really impressed .

Meanwhile, I have a second little challenge, if anyone is interested `challenges`:

oh! now I get the point of the thread haha!
I remember (comming from speedrunning video games), that I wanted to design a "hacked" full run.
It seemed rather pointless because it's incredibly hard to complete the whole thing in one go anyway (at least hurrying), and the idea of actually speedrunning it (trying to beat ones time) was forgotten. I lost interest.

This makes me want to pick it up again!!

I will post again when I have completed some of your challenges and tell you what I think.

In the meanwhile, please find more challenges! Or even help me find some hacks/"glithces" for a full run (or simply any of the three segments)

btw. I did manage to get times for each of the 3 individual segments. The 1st one in the sub 20 sec range if I remember, the others alot more.

Have you timed youself as well?

I've seen these in stores a few times. Next time I do I may pick one up.

Got the epic as a gift. It will be the death of me!!! So challenging, but really a fun distraction.

Hi Sigurd and others,

I haven't timed myself, but I can complete it start to finish most times (orthadox). There's the obvious glitch where you can pass from 40 to 88.. and you can bounce over rails anywhere. I had some other unorthadox things I was trying out but they weren't as fluid as the 2 I posted. I tried for a bit to get the ball in the little loop at 94 but I was unsuccessful, I don't know what that is for.. I think it was intended to have a bigger gap in the rail there and it is a trap.

I got the epic too, so that is keeping me challenged for the moment.

Let me know if anyone completes the challenges , I don't think they're too hard (although they are a step up from the orthadox).

Cheers,
Burgo.

I got the epic. When I got it, there was a manufacturing defect, so I had to send it back and wait for a new one to come. But when I got it, it was awesome!

What was the defect on yours? On mine between 99 and 100 it doesn't line up right and I can only make it through like 1 out of 10 times no matter how careful I am. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

-d

Mine was between 35 and 36. There was a sort of funnel sticking out in front of the 35 rail, which prevented the marble from moving on.
