Has anyone here played this puzzle yet? Is it any good. It looks
interesting, but I just don't "get it."

thanks

I don't know if it is my soundcard, but that voice is very hard to
understand. What is the meaning of the first level of the demo??? I mean
what is the trick to get all lights burning?

I also had a hard time understanding the voices. Since I couldn't make out
what the voices said, I just assumed that figuring out what to do was part
of the puzzle. The demo was probably written in the Java language, and
earlier versions of Java only supported poor-quality sound (8-bit, 8000 Hz).
The sound quality of the actual puzzle is supposed to be better. Last time
I was in a local store, I noticed that the price for the puzzle was heavily
discounted, and cost around $12 (U.S.).

Puzzle Five: Press red once, orange twice, yellow three times, green
four times, blue five times.

Puzzle Ten: The device names three colors; press the second one. Do
this a total of five times.

Puzzle Fifteen has me stumped, though.

Thanks for your help. I figured out how to play puzzle 15 now. The voice
names numbers and you have to press that color counting from the bottom. You
have to do this mod 5, so if the voice calls out 7, you have to press the
second (7 mod 5 = 2) color, which is orange. Sometimes the voice calls out
something that sounds like ZERO (or whatever) and then I just don't do
anything.

Mike
