Ripley's IQ Game
January 14, 2005 8:41 AM   Subscribe

Friday flash frustration. Along the same lines as the Hi Q game I used to play as a kid, and equally addictive. I'm not sure what speaks more about my IQ: that I can only get 3 balls left, or that I can't stop playing. Ripley's has several other games as well. There goes Friday.

that was frustrating until I figured out you can move diagonally. I'm down to two.

Yay! I did it. Random guessing can get you anywhere.

It took me 10 minutes to realize you can move then across AND diagonally. *DOH*

Down to one in the second try. This is far easier than Hi Q and its variations.

My girlfriend just found her old Hi Q now I can't put the damn thing down.

You shouldn't be able to move diagonally. And then again - maybe figuring that out is part of the game. But probably not.

well I did it once. I have no idea I how to do it again though.

I was able to leave five on the board with no moves left. Did I mention I'm a contrary bastard? I'm like that guy who got the minimum possible score on the SAT and then posted about it.

One left, second try. Purple square, left edge.
