Marble Drop: Solutions to the five toughest puzzles
The difficulty of the puzzles in Maxis' Marble Drop range from the relatively simple to the extraordinarily difficult. To help cure recent outbreaks of marble madness, we have provided you with solutions to Marble Drop's five toughest puzzle machines. These are by no means the only ways to solve the puzzles. These are one of the best solutions found by our game testers for each puzzle.
The solution follows the puzzle name. In each case, drop the colored marble in order into the funnel indicated. Let each marble go as far as it can before adding the next.
