230! How the *heck* do you get the egg in the basket when the baskets are
moving together at the same spped in the same position!!???

Trick is to gauge the baskets speed in conjuction with the egg. If you lob
the egg upwards with the basket directly over and still moving, you'll miss
every time. But if you wait until it's right before and send it up, you'll
get it. It's like hitting a moving target with a gun. If you aim directly at
the moving target you can forget it. But if you aim slightly forward of it's
path, you got it dead on

Once you have a good approximation of where the basket needs to be, I've
found it helpful to place my mouse directly above the egg and to the forward
moving side of the basket. It helps determine when to toss the egg.

Good tip! But the one I'm talking about has the baskets both in the same
position (one right on top of the other), and moving in the same direction
at the same time. So you have to add in the inertia of the egg as you lob
it up right before the cup hits the side of the screen so you can catch it
with the upper bucket as they move back again (did that make sense?).

How are you feeling Grace? How's the BP - have they changed your meds to
try something that won't give you headaches?

Hi Lori! I missed this post somehow. That is the hardest screen, that
is for sure. I do not do well at this game!

NO! Of course not mumble, mumble, mumble - not at all, of course I can
stop any time I want to (I just don't want to)!!!! ;

I've figured out that you have to wait until just before the baskets hit the
same wall at the same time so that you can catch it when the baskets start
heading back again - I just haven't mastered the technique! ;
