lol that was crap.

only the end comment "dont accept drinks from strangers, introduce yourself first" was even the slightest bit amusing.

Actually it's all math. A friend told me how to beat it:

1) From the row with 6 pearls - take 4 away (giving a total of 222).
2) He'll take a bunch away, so you have to add up again (ex: rows of 2, 5, 4, 1 which is equal to 212 so you need to change the middle integer to an even one).
3) Take away the two pearls in the row which has only two.
4) The rows should be something like 2, 4, 1.
5) Take away one pearl from the row with 4, so that you now have rows of 3, 2, & 1.
6) Take away one pearl from the row with 3 so that you have 2 rows of 2.
7) Take away both pearls in the row with two pearls so that there is only one left.

Fade, I'm missing something here...what is it that gives a total of 222?? and what's an integer...remember, I'm just a tourist.

 

[Fade]

Just follow the instructions! 222 means 2 in one row, 2 in the next row, 2 in the other row. It's hella easy HOLLA!

 

[Copenhagen]

But there are 4 rows? So shouldn't it be 2222 and i I remove 4 from the row of pearls with 6, that leaves one row of 2 one with 5, one with 4 and one with 3...not 222 whatever...now holla at a dumb ass and explain yourself correctly.

Actually I just played the game again and I think they changed something because when I take away 4 from the row of 6, he takes away only 1 or 2. Last time I played it he took away a bunch from another row and I would end up winning.

So just keep trying.
