Yeah, that one took me a while. Even after I figured it out, I had to try again several times, as there’s rather little room for error. Hint: You need something to make the ship wider. Answer: Slice horizontally underneath the pivot point of the ice, so you get a nice wide ice block over the ship. If you cut it straight, the remaining ice shouldn’t have moved. Then quickly make cuts on both sides of the pivot, so your vikings stay on the blocks as the land on the block already on your ship. Then just chip away until they’re all home. ---

I’m stuck on the one with the 3 ladies holding up the block of wood. I get to the end where I release my Viking, but he ends up falling the wrong way on the rocks and getting stuck instead of falling into the ship. Help? ---

Help? Slow him down a bit. Cut the rope on the other side of the platform. ---

Stuck again. 3 suspended Vikings and a rotating paddle. Is it all momentum and timing? The 3rd guy (circle) never makes it. I’ve even tried slicing all excess weight off the shapes. Got it n/m ---

Slight zombie-resurrection here… Currently stuck on the one with the Viking in the wooden horseshoe thing (level 33 or so), with the Valkyrie plugging the hole in the bottom. I have sliced off bits of the bottom two “jet rocks” to let it rise, then a bit of the left-hand jet rock to make it go to the right, but then it gets stuck on the spike at the upper right. Then I have to cut off one of the bird ropes to make it descend - but that’s not enough. If I cut off a second one, then it falls too fast and doesn’t make it to the boat even if I cut off more of the left-hand jet rock. Any suggestions? ---

Maybe the contraption is getting too close to the spike before beginning its descent. ---

> [@USCDiver](#): > > Maybe the contraption is getting too close to the spike before beginning its descent. Thanks - that’s what got me past that level. It’s HARD to cut a rope - just one - while everything is moving! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fun-new-flash-game-viking-ice-breaker/485925.md?page=1)
