Hey guys.

 

After reading through the sticky, and playing on the puzzle site for about an hour, as well as having a go for 4 hours on and off at the puzzle last night, I'm absolutely stumped and frustrated with this level 3 clue puzzle. I'm posting in the hope that someone - ANYONE - will be able to help me get it done. If not, well I'll just keep smashing away at it until I give up with a ball of rage.

 

Here is how it is at the moment. Now I've been TRYING to follow the guide as best I can, first row, second row etc, but always get stuck at the middle-end of the second row.

 

(See below for updated puzzle after a blackout ruined my progress)

the tip.it guide doesnt describe this very well imo, but what you want to do for the last 2 pieces of all of the first 3 rows, is get the 4th piece above the 5th piece along the right hand side, then move them up over and into place. You'll get the hang of these eventually, ive gotten to the point where i can do them in under a minute most of the time, as you do more youll figure out little tricks for solving them.

Make the following moves, where each move describes the direction in which you move a piece:

 

left, left, up, right, down, down, left, up right, up.

 

If I did that right in my head, that should line up the two pieces you need so you can see how to move them into the right positions.

Yeah that should be right, add left, down, down, right, up to that.

The bloody power went out in my suburb just before I got it finished, so of course, it's been reset! Again, I'm absolutely flabbergasted at how difficult I'm finding it :( Here is the 'new' version. (Desktop computers are infuriating <_< )

 

 

Sorry again guys.

Ill be on for 3 more hours and after that the pic becomes void.

Don't do the last row last, do the last TWO rows last. Start from the left. Do the left most, bottom two pieces. Then the two next to those. Like the picture on the site. The areas surrounded by different colours is how you should do it.
