Update on Merged!

Recently, I've been playing Merged! a lot.  One mystery that I have not solved: after playing a game, coins are awarded.  But what's the formula for that?

Another mystery has been solved.  How many points does one get when merging three 4's, three 5's, three 6's and three M's at the same time.

 

Look at the two images above: I had 4's, 5's, 6's & M's set up. I got a 4. This led to 1588 points.

My high score is now 13,000 which places me at 57 on the Leaderboard.

Good Story about Peace Corps Swaziland

I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer some 30 years ago. I posted some thoughts about that last year.


Caila Lane served recently and has written her account, which is simply excellent. The one thing I would add: in the Peace Corps, there's a lot of down time. It's essential to read a lot, visit other volunteers and fill up that time to stay sane.

Shapu: free puzzle app game for iphone, ipad

 

Do you remember BrainSquare from about 3 years ago? I liked it.  The same people have made Shapu which is possibly better. The object is to get all the colored balls to their respective homes.

When shifting rows and columns, all the white dots & colored dots travel together.  However, every move must have 1 dot get eliminated by falling off the grid.  Furthermore, the colored dots have to reach their homes in a specific order. To get 100% for a level, make sure that all the white dots are gone.


I like this concept a lot. These puzzles can get difficult.


Two Problems
1. It takes a long time for this game to load. I'm using an ipad 2 which is now 5 years old.
2.  I completed all of Pack 1.  Then moved on to Pack 2.  After taking a break, my progress in Pack 2 was not saved!
