Title: Five in a row Post by: LauraBKass on October 18, 2009, 10:45:59 pm It is not possible to get five pieces in a row if the other robot always starts the game :( :( :(
I've played that silly boardgame in the shitty cafe for thousands of times now and just can't win! Is there some strategy or code to win it?

And yes, there's already a how-to video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m6NhwjFuXU Title: Re: Five in a row Post by: cairnlae on October 19, 2009, 01:44:41 am I found that if I placed a few at random and kind of far apart it threw the computer off and I could start strategically placing them without it noticing so much....

Japanese and Chinese people play five in a row a lot. You can win the game in 30 seconds by using their strategy. Title: Re: Five in a row Post by: TANTRICTRICK on October 19, 2009, 01:16:12 pm izzit rite u have 2 had to beat 5 in a row twice ?...........

though i have some problems on other riddles. Title: Re: Five in a row Post by: DaylightDisc on October 31, 2009, 03:37:26 am I too am stuck on this game and, after over a hundred tries, I have given up. Too bad as I was enjoying the game up to this point.
Yes, I have looked at the game help which is no help for this. And yes, I have seen the YouTube solutions to this game. I have charted them out carefully and tried them multiple times. My game does not follow the same patterns as the YouTube solutions, so they do not work for me. I've tried every approach I can think of and have failed every time. :-( Title: Re: Five in a row Post by: ABoretz on October 31, 2009, 07:24:48 am I've tried every approach I can think of and have failed every time. :-( Look through the rest of the Q&A section of the forum and you'll find other comments regarding the "5 in a row" problem that may help you. ;) (specifically read Lamkin's gambit: 5 in a row after 9 moves (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,701.0.html)) Title: Re: Five in a row Post by: Claudio on October 31, 2009, 06:03:18 pm may be you are simply forgetting the arcade game book (in the inventory, on the far right)
every time you can't solve a riddle, you can play Space Invaders, and if you gain at least 1000 points, you receive the solution I used this trick in the tower room (at the end of the game), were I was unable to solve the top section of the game with strings of balls I want to say that I hate arcades, and I am very poor in this kind of game, but I was able to win Space Invaders using a hidden trick ... ;-D Claudio |
