Re: Red Progress and Help
Just got my red obsession today. Fell into the reset trap and after about 30 seconds realized why people hate this one. wooooowww. That is going to be a ***** to navigate!! Especially on the obsession since there aren't fixed points of reference on the shaft (bold edges or SN markings).

Re: Red Progress and Help
I purchased a new-in-box red obs. from another forum member. After getting this thing mapped out in my head, I can understand why people don't like it very much. I think it's going to be one of those puzzles that's less "fun" and more frustrating than anything.joelk2 wrote:

In my opinion, the elements that make a puzzle "fun" are the parts where you have to figure out the trick to proceed. (The "aha!" moments). Red, within a few minutes of playing with the maze, I already know what I need to do, it's just doing it is insane.
I'll give it a go this weekend and see how far I get.

Nope. From what I can gather from mapping the reset lines, this narrow pathway is censoredbluesign2k wrote:That's what you thinkthayneq wrote:Red, within a few minutes of playing with the maze, I already know what I need to do.

Re: Red Progress and Help
Gathering impressions from people on this forum, I have a feeling that there is something "extra" that is needed to actually solve this puzzle. And that something extra is probably adding some additional bunnies somewhere, floppers, hoppers, cottontails, or even fuzzies!cdr2289 wrote:You may get more enjoyment launching it from a potato cannon.

If this is the case, can someone please let me know because I'll probably just stop and put my obs up for sale. I don't want to spend time on a puzzle that has no "fair" solution.
