Not the movie, which I just love, btw, but the wooden game/toy with marbles and numbered holes to 60. I pulled mine out of the garage today (yes, I am _still_ unpacking) and played for a bit. I can’t get past the damn 13th hole! I try and try and 13 gets me every time. Has anyone actually ever finished? How far can you get? How long will I sit and move those damn knobs around before I go postal? ---

I played one of those before, but it didn’t go up to 60. Could you show us a picture of it? Strike that, I did a search and found [this picture](http://www.toylectibles.com/marblemaze.html). I assume this is the game to which you are referring? If so, it seems pretty easy, just follow the dotted line. 😃 ---

At one time I could go all the way to the end and back in one turn. Took hours to do though, but it’s possible. ---

Yes, that is it Arnie. And thanks for the advise, now I know why you mods make the big bucks. 😉 ---

That’s not hours in one try, I hope you see, but maybe 300 tries averaging 20 seconds each. ---

Just an update, Psy is _still_ trying to beat that damn game. I think I’m going to have to hide it if I intend on talking to her during the next week or so. 😉 ---

Not speaking of Labyrinth, the movie… You know that goofy thing that David Bowie does with the crystal balls? The thing where they like levitate around his hands? I learned how to do that. It looks SO cool, wasn’t too hard to learn, and impresses the hell out of anyone you show it to.
