Oh. My. God. This level was Very Hard for me! 19 tries, 1 star(115,080 points), 7 moves remaining, NBU. One more try and I was about to break out the boosters. So I JUST realized after 18 tries part of why I was having so much trouble (apparently I'm a little slow today)...for some reason I misunderstood the orders & didn't realize that you only have to OPEN the popcorn for it to count. I thought that yoh had to open it and then also hit the cb's. So I would've definitely passed much earlier because I had boards where I'd opened them but needed an extra piece of licorice or stripe, etc yet instead of focusing on them, I was over there trying to explode the cb's lol! I feel so silly. I even had one board where I only needed 1 more striped & had it on the board but ran out of moves. Anyway, all that aside, in all my tries I only had one where I wasn't able to destroy the ES. And in almost all, I was able to fulfill the licorice & stripe orders easily. I think once I was one licorice short(of course that was one where I'd opened the popcorn and destroyed the cb's). And there were a few where I also didn't have enough stripes but again that's probably because I was focused on the wrong task! Sigh. In general though, I did find it difficult to open the popcorn. I had numerous CB/striped combos and not ONCE in all my tries did one hit a popcorn. Anyway, maybe when I'm done with the episode I'll revisit this one, and see how long it takes since I now understand the objective. I thought I was really unlucky. Now I wish it had been that & not that my brain is scrambled eggs today!
