Why it is an awesome game

First off, this is a game that takes patience. It may be frustrating at first but once you get the hang of it you’ll always be good at it. This game if played properly, can earn you around 10 to 50 thousand neopoints a day. It all depends on how good you are. Everytime I play I get a minimum of 150 points, that is 1,000 neopoints! You can also put your skills to the test, the world challenge, send your scores a couple times and if you are one of the best that hour, you can make 500 points and a WC piece that you can sell for up to 50,000 points. So, by now you know that you can get rich quickly by playing this game.

Tips:

Grouping
Grouping potatoes together will increase your score by a lot! I group them by twos when they get on to the screen like this: 1-2….3-…4..5-6 The first two together 1-2, then 3-, pause..4, pause…5-6 It may sound confusing but you will get it eventually.

Ranges
The range (Amount of potatoes between the Min and Max) increases by two each round. In other words the max increases by 5 and the min by 3 each round.

Round 1: 6-10
Round 2: 9-15
Round 3: 12-20
Round 4: 15-25
Round 5: 18-30
Round 6: 21-35
Round 7: 24-40
Round 8: 27-45
Round 9: 30-50
Round 10: 33-55
Round 11: 36-60
Round 12: 39-65
That is how far the expert players get to on average, the Twelfth round!

Modes
Look for the most frequent numbers.(Mode) In the later rounds it gets tougher to count the potatoes so you will mostly rely on guessing the correct amount. You can get really good at guessing if you know the modes. Also don’t forget, the answer must be in the round’s range.(above) An example of a mode is: when I play the seventh or eighth round, I normally get 37 or 39 so my best guess would be one of those. But it isn’t always like that(sometimes its 38), If you are not sure about an answer always go with your first guess because I have found it is a lot more likely to be correct.

Multiplayer Trick
A good trick is to get a few extra players and have each person take care of one side of the screen. Only count the ones that come from your side and add your totals up! I have never done this before but I am sure it will easily get you a trophy if everyone is somewhat good. I got this idea when I was experimenting. I looked at one side and with the difficulty, it seemed like it was round 1 and it was really round 6!

Psychology
If you have been having bad luck or have not been performing as well as you did you are probably stressed out. I do horribly when I think poorly. But, when I am positive, I do excellent. In this game your behavior can and will affect the way you play, so I think it is best to be cocky. “When I win a round, All Right!” “When I lose a round, I’ll get it next time, it was just an off game!” That is the way you should act. You can do it! You don’t think you can, you know you can!
