Hi,
I've tried to win the Game of Contrary but it seems impossible.
On the easiest level it is no match since the T68 makes obvious errors. However, on level 3 I havent even come close to winning. Probably its me being too stupid for this but could not someone give a strategy or at least a hint on how to win.
Please, this game is slowly killing me  |

the only method is don't let the "computer" occupy the border, especially the 4 corners |

I beat the hardest level twice. Even if you get a corner he can still win.

Hi
I know there are help options but this just tells you how to move the disks etc around it does not tell you the aim of either game-can anyone please explain the aim of either Contrary or Q?

contrary is what some would call "Reversi" or othello. You have to turn over the opponents pawns by placing yours at either ends of a line. This turns all those pawns between your first pawn and las one in the line to your colour. (Hope you catch my drift, kind of hard to explain it with just words  )
In "Q", the aim is to get the coloured balls into the squares of the same colour. (e.g. red ball - red square) However, you cannot stop the ball halfway in motion. You will have to move the ball in such a way that walls or barriers block their movement. You can only move in a straight line. You may also use other coloured balls to block them. Its really actually easier then it sounds but the upper levels are quite challenging. Unfortunately, there's no variation to this game and if you've completed all the levels (32 or 42. I can't remember), there's nothing new to be discovered. Hope you all have fun wrecking your brains!

I too found level 3 is impossible to beat. Is there any way? |

Contrary is definitely the game I love to hate.
And 'contrary' to previous posts, I don't know how many times (level 3)
I've had ALL FOUR CORNERS and still lost!
I've had thousands of go's, sometimes I get on a roll and beat it 2-3 times running , but then things return to normal.
I'd say I have a 1 in 10 at best more like 1 in 20 success rate.
I have actually won several games early though eg. 36 to 0 etc.
Best suggestions I have are:
1. be the LAST to leave the middle 16 squares, you're less likely to be beaten to a border this way.
2. gettin corners are good goal but, as above, not foolproof
3. more importantly, DON'T take spots one-in (diagonal) from corner!
( it jumps you into corner and you're gone)
Best suggestion: try really really hard to forget it even exists and go back to your life!!!!
