I actually drew dots on the shaft in pencil to show the beginning and end of that section.longtime wrote: I can't come up with a good way to map that area, given the nature of it. Have any of you actually mapped that bad section?

Re: Blue Progress and Help
I used my thumb to measure it. When the shaft is up to a certain point on my thumb, I'm good to go 


Re: Blue Progress and Help
Got it! Apparently I had been pretty close to the finish a few times before. Just had to work out the last few turns. These things are as much about perseverance as anything else, aren't they?
Sent in my registration. Does this mean I have to get the Green?

Do you have to get green? Well I think you'd be one of the first who didn't get at least one more after solving their first! Enjoy the moment, and give your fingers a rest before getting that green!
