Tips & Tricks[]
- Experiment with different arrangements: Try arranging the straws and candies in different ways to see what works best. You might find that placing the straws closer together or further apart, or stacking the candies on top of each other, helps to improve stability.
- Use a steady hand: When placing the candies on the straws, try to be as steady as possible. A slight jolt or tremble could cause the candies to fall off.
- Practice: Finally, the more you practice, the better you'll get at balancing the candies on the straws. So don't be afraid to spend some time practicing before you start the game.
