Event 1 of 5
Count: how many dots?
A dot field flashes briefly, then disappears. Enter the number of dots you saw.
Get a Count hint
Think in groups of five or ten. The total is between 70 and 80.
Reveal the Count answer
73 dotsThe exact target count for #96.
- Look for rough groups of five or ten during the flash, then add the remaining dots.
- This answer is 7 groups of ten and 3 more.
- The normal exposure lasts two seconds. Estimate the whole field before entering one count.
A count error is relative to the true total: being one dot off means 1.37% error on this field.
Event 2 of 5
Track: where does the ball land?
Watch the early part of the flight, then select the landing point on the ground.
Get a Track hint
Continue the arc to the ground, not the point where the ball fades. The landing is right of the field’s center.
Reveal the Track landing and trajectory

- Launch x

- Wall bounces
- 0
- The ball launches from x ≈ 92.48 and begins to fade at 0.501 seconds.
- Extend the parabola down to the same ground height. There is no side-wall rebound in this puzzle.
- Choose the ground position 63.86% from the left edge of the full field, right of center. The exact generated x value is 510.84271664366213.
The field scales to your screen. Do not tap 511 CSS pixels from your phone’s edge. The visible ground line itself spans x=30–770; this target sits 64.98% along that shorter line.
Event 3 of 5
Angle: which direction and how many turns?
The game shows the requested counterclockwise angle before you drag. This solution explains how to reach it.
Get an Angle hint
Start from the dashed rightward horizontal. Counterclockwise passes upward first; use the true horizontal rather than the tilted frame.
One more clue
The ray finishes in the lower-right quarter of the dial. Use a 315° diagonal as a visual reference.
Reveal the Angle target and turn guide
311° counterclockwiseFrom the rightward horizontal, through 311°.
- Start on the dashed line pointing right: that is 0°.
- Continue counterclockwise for 311°, then release to lock.
- Ignore the tilted surrounding frame. Normal scoring uses the shortest angular difference from the target.
Event 4 of 5
Tempo: what pulse should you keep?
Follow four warm-up beats, then make eight continuation taps.
Get a Tempo hint
Follow four warm-up beats, then continue eight evenly spaced taps. Keep the original pulse rather than speeding up when the sound stops.
One more clue
Keep each tap about 500–600 ms apart. Continue that spacing after the four warm-up beats; don’t rush when the sound stops. This is the nominal pulse; the daily game still calibrates from your warm-up taps.
Reveal the BPM and timing reference
115 BPM521.739 ms per beat · on-beat continuation
- Follow the four loud clicks at 115 beats per minute.
- Continue one full period after the last loud beat: 521.739 ms.
- Keep all eight continuation taps 521.739 ms apart. Keep the same spacing when the sound stops.
Ideal offsets after the last loud beat:
- Tap 1521.7 ms
- Tap 21,043.5 ms
- Tap 31,565.2 ms
- Tap 42,087 ms
- Tap 52,608.7 ms
- Tap 63,130.4 ms
- Tap 73,652.2 ms
- Tap 84,173.9 ms
These offsets assume an ideal warm-up reference. The game adjusts its timing reference using your warm-up taps and separates overall timing offset from jitter. The BPM is fixed for this date; actual wall-clock tap times depend on when you start and how you followed the warm-up.
Event 5 of 5
Split: where does the fraction land?
Measure the requested percentage from the named endpoint. The prompt already gives that value; this solution places it on the line.
Get a Split hint
Measure from the left endpoint. The target is more than halfway along the original line.
Reveal the Split position and calculation
75% from the left75% of the original line · target x ≈ 550
- The original line runs from x=100 to x=700, so its length is 600.
- 75% corresponds to 0.75 × the original line, or 450 logical units from the left endpoint.
- 100 + (75/100 × 600) = 550.
The answer is 75% measured from the named endpoint along the original line. Its position on the whole 800-unit field is 68.75% from the left. Those are different measurements.
