I have noticed that when you let the game make all the Zoombinis - it always
makes twins.

And I think that if they all have something in common, it would make many of
the puzzles more difficult.

Either way, good for her <g>.

Really? If they were all the very same, wouldn't all the puzzles be... not
even puzzles?

I'm thinking of Master Mind if the row is all one color.

Depends how many guesses you can have, but if there are only four options on
any one bit, similarity seems it would be helpful.

Holly makes pairs and sets and she's the best at pattern games in our family.


I'll ask her and Marty if they ever thought of doing all same, or half and
half.

The way you solve them is by trying different combinations - the more
different zoombinis you have, the more you can select just the
combination you want to try next to get the info you need to solve the
puzzle.

Casey said that she makes twins so that when she gets one through,
she always gets the second through as a bonus. She keeps one
characteristic (say noses) the same on all so that she can easily get
though the puzzle on the raft. Like Sandra said, no puzzle at all on
that one.

Life is good.
