Tips & Tricks[]

  • Place the cups carefully: When placing the cups on the pyramid, take your time and be careful not to knock over any cups that are already in place. A steady hand and a good sense of balance will be key to success.
    • Take your time: Don't rush the process of building the pyramid. It's better to take your time and place the cups carefully than to rush and risk knocking over cups that are already in place.
    • Pay attention to balance: When placing the cups, pay attention to the balance of the pyramid. If the pyramid is leaning too far to one side, it may be more prone to collapsing. Try to distribute the weight of the cups evenly to create a stable structure.
    • Avoid knocking over cups: Be careful not to knock over any cups that are already in place. Even a slight jolt or tremble could cause the cups to fall over.
    • Use a steady hand: Try to keep your hand as steady as possible when placing the cups. A shaky hand could make it more difficult to place the cups accurately.
    • Experiment with different techniques: If you're having trouble placing the cups accurately, try experimenting with different techniques. For example, you might find that using your fingertips to place the cups is more precise than using your whole hand.
