Cover The Red Spot Carnival Game - Brain Puzzle

I can't get past 99.98%. This is driving me nuts.

And who are these people getting 100% in 8 seconds?

Edit: Argh! 99.99!

Took me about an hour, but I finally got it.

 


It was pretty obvious to me from the beginning that this is how you had to do it, but squeezing out that last 0.01% takes quite a few tries.

I'm writing a program to play with this - the diameter of the red dot is essentially 296 and the silver dots are 180.

99.97%. Frustrating.

The solution is obvious to any non-retarded player after about 4 or 5 goes. The only problem is then in placing the circles in the right place without being able to readjust them.

But the Applet version is a cinch, thank you.

Yeah, the Applet is cool, and nice quick work, but that's not the point of the game. I think a real Carni thug would have your head for moving a piece after you put it down.

Btw, does anybody else think that those highscores (7 s) have to be script manipulated ?

I don't see any way how a human could do it that quickly.


So Ghoser, here's you next challenge: create an app/script that beats 7 seconds

I don't hink much faster is even possible.

The original script takes time to run, tou can only move those items at a certain speed. Basically, all you would do is program the moves. You still have the the original speed limitations.
