Thanks for ruining my weekend, surfah.

I got all but four so far.

I finally noticed you could view other people's contraptions and I'll use it to try to finish the last four, but I'm stuck. Also I just noticed there is a forum for discussion, but I'm going to try to avoid it until I solve them all.

The forum is loaded with ingenious solutions and guys who make up their own games like one called basket, where they build two contraptions, one to move the a basket into the goal area and one for the object to go into the basket. Ridiculous stuff.

Anyway, Gidget has Edward and I have my dumb simple physics game.

Finally got this one.

Now I'm down to three more. When you see how others did it, you feel stupid it took you this long.

I have been stuck on handling for 3 days now. I am hoping my wife can help me now that I am home.

One of two I have not beat. Many of the other levels I have beaten and gone back to try and create something "green" (no powered wheels), simplest solution, or the most complex and ridiculous (which usually equals the coolest).

I still have Tube, Unpossible, and Four Balls left. I learned "technology" from viewing other contraptions to figure out how to do Back and Forth or I don't think I would have ever gotten it.

Just beat Handling. Don't click if you don't want to see. Pretty simple.

Here's my solution:http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=2295840

That was similar to how I did it, but mine was way more complicated than it needed to be. Kept tweaking and tweaking till it was a mess but finally went.

Simplified it even more.
