First of all, I was reading through forums to see if there was a topic on how to do the DA puzzles, and there weren't any, so I just thought I'd look to see past topics. MAN you guys were funny! Now I have FINALLY figured out what is with the "green triangle" thing. I PREFER GREEN TRIANGLES. Green means GO!

Okay, back to what I was going to ask. How do you do the DA puzzles? Especially the "skull finder" and "avoid the skulls" ones. I always feel so stupid because I always have to let other toons do the puzzles or I will mess up and we have to fight the cogs. Sorry if I've done any DA's with any of you and messed up on a puzzle.

Oh Heidi, anyone who is rootin for Nanner HAS to like RED squares.

Well, I guess I could help huh? I have no idea still about the minesweeper one. I'll never get it but have gotten lucky a few times. Avoid the skulls is knowing that the spaces with little squares will be skulls the next change and then watching the open spots. Then you still cross your fingers and run for it.

I always do Red triangles cause the toons I'm with usually seem to prefer Green. Good argument fodder.

I didn't really get the hang of the "avoid the skulls" game til I started doing DA's office with me, myself and I (3 accounts) and did the puzzles over and over. I'm game to go in there with you some time and you can do all the puzzles if you want--and take all the time in the world. On the "avoid the skulls," it helps to stand there and watch the squares for a long time. If you see a square, you know a skull will be appearing in that spot soon. So think about if you were out there right now, where would you move to--in other words, do some dry runs in your head before you go out there. I do better if I don't run; I always mess up when I run. I go a few steps and stop on a spot that has no square and wait til they change. A lot of times I'll find myself standing on a square after they change. Now I gotta move fast to an adjacent spot that has no square. But you only have to move one or two spaces--just far enough so that you're no longer standing on the square's area. Then you can stop, wait for them to change again, and plot your next move. There's no time limit. You could take forever. Just moving one or two spots at a time whenever you find yourself standing on a square. I do better taking it slow like this, but you do it however it works for you--it just takes practice with toons who don't mind when you trigger the skeles. I triggered them a zillion times myself learning "avoid the skulls" (still do trigger them sometimes).

The skull finder is a little easier (I think) because you can practice as much as you want. Just play Minesweeper on any Windows PC. Same diff (except on skull finder the first row will alwaus be blank, so the first thing you do is walk across that first row and see what's next). It's hard to explain, but once you've got the hang of Minesweeper, you've got the hang of skull finder.

Here's the posting I found when I started doing the DA offices. It was very helpful for me.

If you stay away from the DAs then you will have no problems with the puzzles.... that is my strategy and sticking to it!

I believe you have found the secret. Yes, avoiding the CJ altogether certainly eliminates the need to figure out the puzzles. I love it! What a hoot!

That's answered my problem. WHO NEEDS THE CJ ANYWAY?

But Wait!! The CJ is the FUN ONE!!!

Now the CFO on the other hand
I have sworn that once Rose is maxxed on the CFO (one more to go), she is NEVER setting foot in the CFO again! HEH. I'm sure I'll break that promise, but it sure feels good to say it!! NEVER AGAIN! NO MORE! NADA! Have I mentioned that I really hate the CFO!!! Mainly cause I stink at it!!! GRRRRRR

OK, got that outta my system, at least for now.

NO! CFO is the FUN one! I am exact opposite from you. I love fighting the CFO, but I stink at fighting the CJ. Ugh!

(hee hee)

YAY Heidi! Yes! CFO is the fun one. CJ second and you'll rarely see me in the VP. I find it kind of boring....unless of course it's a griefer run (we must work on you and that red/green thingy....embrace the RED)!


There are puzzles in the DA??? That's what those other toons are doing with the pretty colors?

I can do the "turn the squares RED" (just don't follow behind me and change them green!!! UGG)! and the match 3 thingys. I can also do the blinky skull/square one but I only have about a 60% sucess rate due to panic I'm better with friends and panic more with randoms. I'll do it but always hope someone else grabs it first Mindsweeper I don't even try. Don't like the regular game and can't remember when I ever played it. Puzzle games just aren't my thing. The worst is when I get in a DA and every...and I mean EVERY floor has it. Sometimes both sides! Ugggg!

Thanks for the info everyone! That should probably help me in future DA's! Hopefully
