ummm, I think you forgot to logon again. Need a user name for PM.

Okay, finally got it right. Sorry for clogging up the boards with useless Anonymous posts. Would appreciate the hint PM. Thank you.

Just started a new game. Last game had everything but 12th puzzle.

Can someone send a PM on 12th puzzle as I begin the adventure again.

I'll send a hint to make sure that you are planning early for the 12th puzzle!

> Wow, Flash! I'm sure you hold the record now!

I'm at 450 hours now.

Well, keep in mind that I am playing on a Sony NZ-90 and the "always on in cradle" option never seems to work properly with any of the LDW games, so after two minutes, Village Sim shuts off.

It's generally not worth the effort to turn the game back on every two minutes, so I leave it off and turn it back on when I think about it, which may be six or so hours later.

So, I only play the game in short spurts of maybe ten minutes every six hours. This may be different than the way everyone else plays and may contribute to puzzle #11 never getting solved.

It's a valid concern, since no matter what style a person plays, the puzzles should be solvable within a reasonable amount of time.

I agree! I'm still in favor of putting in some kind of time limit on how long that little kid can play before he/she gets down to business!

Your problem with the 'on in the cradle' reminds me that I'm glad that I gave my Clie to my son!
