Can it be done? Abandon all hope, ye who enter here?

Dreamworld level 289 is one of my least favorite levels of all time. Not only is it ridiculously hard, but it's also glitchy, boring, poorly designed, and worst of all, the three-star score is ridiculously high! I've beaten this level twice before (out of some 300 attempts), and both times I got around 60-61,000, barely more than half of what I need to get three stars! For a while, this was the only level in the entire game that I couldn't get three stars on (Fanciful Fort and World Nine of Reality put an end to that.) I've decided that I'm going to continue trying to get three stars on this level, and finally vanquish this level permanently, if I ever can.

I'm going to be keeping track not only of how many attempts it takes, but also how often I can complete at least one of the three orders, and how often one of the required candies shows up on the left side of the moon scale (which means that I can't collect any candies of that color during moon struck). I'm hoping to prove that even though purple or orange should only show up on the left side 40% of the time, that they actually show up more often, meaning that the moon scale is indeed programmed to be biased.

I'll post updates of my progress, but here's what I'm at so far:

 15 attempts

 Successful: 0

 Collected a color bomb: 8

 Collected all of both colors: 0

 Collected all of one color: 1

 Purple or orange removed during moon struck: 7
