Oh, one other thing- these puzzles are randomly filled unlike some other games in this genre. One time I had to eliminate 45 blue gems on a mostly unblocked field. I blitzed from the beginning making sure I got all the blue I could. I ran out of time with 10 blue left to go. Thing is there were only 3 blue left on the field. The game had never reshuffled so I realized that it had never presented me with 45 blue to be able to clear. So was the thing rigged for me to fail? No. Random loses happen. The next play my same tactic netted a win with a minute to spare. MT may design a particularly interesting puzzle but in my experience (575% of Magister) they don't stack the deck against you so don't expect them to stack it for you.

I may be writing a blog entry on random games one of these days.
