How hard are the SpaceChem one? Are they do-able in 10 hours?

[Mini]

Definately. Just pick easy ones, and if you have trouble with it pick a different one. You shouldn't run out of easy challenges before you get the achievement.

Easily. You'll have to "hack into" the research net - it's usually off-limits until you're most of the way through the story, but that's because most of the puzzles are freakishly hard. That said, there's a few easy ones right near the beginning - all the way back at Volume 1, Issues 1-2, there's something like 3 easy ones (which is all the achievement requires). Seriously, the first 'quantum tunnel' is pathetic ("Use a quantum tunnel on a single molecule."), the second quantum tunnel one isn't exactly any harder, and there's one other really easy one back there too (not the third quantum tunnel one, mind you!).

In general, the difficulty level of a puzzle is that little three-piece circle icon. One piece means it'll take you 5 minutes if you have even a rough grasp of the game. Two pieces means it's a serious challenge that'll take you a while. Three pieces means you'll be adding another few hours to your gameplay total.

If you really want to do it the easy way, youtube.

The third quantum tunnel was easy if you got the right mindset about it. Swap the middle of the circle into the blue output right from the start, and get that out of the way, then move the circle so that the blue input pops into the center, and when it's added, have the blue waldo bond+ it, then just turn the circle around as you add bonds.

I think it's a moot point at this point (33 minutes left) but the achievement for Hoard is only 12 princesses, not 20; the Steam page had a typo that's since been corrected.  I did it on Tough as Scales by hiding in the bottom of the map near the town.  Just keep burning it and flying across the river to avoid knights.  Relatively easy to sneak out and burn carriages or snag the power ups, compared to the other maps, as the town is easy to burn into oblivion, trivial to deal with knights (as they have to travel pretty far to get around the river), and only two Wizards towers that can shoot at that spot.  Took me quite a few tries (I still haven't made silver on that map).

drawing is to be held by 12 July. As far as anyone knows, no winners have been drawn as of yet.

[Darvi]

Ayup. Although it didn't stop trolls claiming to have won already yet.

my favorite troll post was the blind guy wanting to sue for not having audible countdown. lmao
