Any trick puzzles where you disagree with the bolt rating?
I definitely like challenging tricks and teasers, but was wondering whether any one else has ever found themselves disagreeing with the difficulty rating for a trick puzzle.
Anyway, for me English Garden (3 bolt) is a good example. I think it is extremely tough, and enormously more difficult than say Butterfly Chase (3 bolt).
Empress Pearl (4 bolt) is difficult. But for me at least, not anywhere near as tough as Bonnie and Clyde (4 bolt).

Of course - I don't read carefully - I'm babbling on about teaser puzzles when the topic is trick puzzles. Honestly, I sometimes wonder how I can solve any of them....

Oh man. I feel like a real dummy!!! I have been working on the Empress Pearl for the last 5 years but I have no idea what the solution looks like. I assume - and I know what assumptions are - that it looks like a traditional dragon. Anybody have any tips?

Hi David,
You are correct in your assumption that you can make a Chinese dragon. Five years - that's a long time! In case you haven't heard I take M&M bribes in exchange for hints. Peanutbutter is my favorite :-) Let me know if you want to take me up on my offer.
