    It all comes down to luck and speed really. You just really want to hope you get enough questions you know the answers to.

    UPDATE: One minute on the timer should be about halfway on the circle/timer at the top. (So about 2 minutes on the timer when you start). Completing a question adds more time to the clock and that's the key here. Be quick to answer the questions to add time. You can skip, use hints and Oust and it still adds time once the question is completed or skipped.

    Also, even though I don't mind the negative feedback as long as it's helping someone, please if you vote negative comment why so you can help me out here. I won't be mad lol

    When I got this, I had bought the Pepper on the Kudos Wall for about 900 KP. It let's me have 2 extra hints and 1 skip. It may not seem like much but it's what got me through. I'm sure there are others better than the Pepper, but I have not unlocked them yet. The Pepper is in the 2nd row down and it's the 3rd one over.

    Make sure to only answer the questions you know. Don't risk losing lives. If you can get to 7 or 8 without losing a life or hint, then you're doing pretty good. You get about 4 or 5 skips with the Pepper, plus 5 hints giving you another answer, then the oust which is another answer, then make sure you have about 200KP left over so if you don't make it to 20, you can revive and give it another shot.

    VRETENAR 906Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The game can be frustrating with how random some of the questions can be so I understand. You can't make everyone happy.

    RolodiumAnother one that didn't pop until I went in to the statistics page...

    VRETENAR 906Yeah that seems to be pretty common with the game. It's actually so common that I eventually just checked in on the stats/achievements page each time before turning the game off. I actually got a random one to pop once that I wasn't trying to go for.

    Equip the bow and arrow - 4th row 2nd column.


    You only have 2 minutes to begin with, and have to make it to question 21 with more than 1 minute remaining, so this will keep it above 50% if you do the following:

    Answer the first 3-4 questions since they are easy
    Skip as many questions as you can
    Use your oust to answer 1 more question
    hopefully guess 2 more right boxes and use your hints to finish another question
    then the best part, just use kudos to continue. The potato will make it so you get back the time it takes to fail as you randomly click answers. I just did this and it worked flawlessly.


    make sure you check stats when done.


    Kudos per continue:

    Continue 1 =(1 * 1) * 10 = 10 KP
    Continue 2 =(2 * 2) * 10 = 40 KP
    Continue 3 =(3 * 3) * 10 = 90 KP
    Continue 4 = (4 * 4) * 10 = 160 KP
    Continue 5 = (5 * 5) * 10 = 250 KP
    Continue 6 = (6 * 6) * 10 = 360 KP
    Continue 7 = (7 * 7) * 10 = 490 KP
    Continue 8 = (8 * 8) * 10 = 640 KP
    Continue 9 = (9 * 9) * 10 = 810 KP
    Continue 10 = (10 * 10) * 10 = 1000 KP
    Continue 11 = (11 * 11) * 10 = 1210 KP
    Continue 12 = (12 * 12) * 10 = 1440 KP (about here, 6.5k, is what you need but I suggest saving up at least 12k to be safe)
    Continue 13 = (13 * 13) * 10 = 1690 KP
    Continue 14 = (14 * 14) * 10 = 1960 KP
    Continue 15 = (15 * 15) * 10 = 2250 KP
    Continue 16 = (16 * 16) * 10 = 2560 KP
    Continue 17 = (17 * 17) * 10 = 2890 KP
    Continue 18 = (18 * 18) * 10 = 3240 KP
    Continue 19 = (19 * 19) * 10 = 3610 KP
    Continue 20 = (20 * 20) * 10 = 4000 KP


    There is no way you should need to use more than 16.
