I played with the darn thing for an hour and I couldn’t get it. Oh, and, by the way, after you tell me how to make the screenshot I am going to hate you forever for beating my score 😉 ---

> [@shamrock227](#): > > Now I _really_ need to know how to make that screenshot. Because you guys are never gonna believe this… 2,478 Okay, let’s see it. If you’re on a Windows box, press Printscreen, then open up Paint and paste. It’ll drop it right in. If you’re on a Mac, go to System Preferences\>Keyboard and Mouse\>Keyboard Shortcuts and look up the one you have for taking screenshots. Mine is hash-F7, but I forget if that’s standard or not. ---
