Fantastic Contraption

I am absolutely addicted to this game. I don't usually like computer games, but I'm telling you: this physics-based on-line game is the next best thing to the game "Boggle"....and I ADORE "Boggle."

If you haven't tried it, go to this link:

There are 21 total "levels" and the objective gets increasingly more challenging with every level.

I simply COULD NOT create an object that would get the little red circl (the object) up the stairs and into the final "box" destination/goal using the wheels, rods, and water pressure rods that were provided. Then, this morning, I had a STROKE of GENIUS and finally created the perfect machine! It's like a little tank, but hinged in the center.....

Check this out - just hit "play" and then "start":

(and once you play the game, you'll appreciate this even better!)
