Nine: The Last Resort Hints
I can't win the slot car race!
1 of 15: First, you need to get the race to start.
2 of 15: You must beat this puzzle to complete the game.
3 of 15: There is an easy way to do it.
4 of 15: There are four different cars that you can choose for the race. (The track is the same for every race.)
5 of 15: Each car has its own strengths and weaknesses.
6 of 15: Read each car's description carefully about acceleration and cornering ability.
7 of 15: Once you have chosen a car, clicking the left mouse button will cause your car to accelerate; releasing the mouse button causes deceleration. (You do not steer or brake in this race.)
8 of 15: You can play this puzzle as many times as you want, racing the same or a different car type each time.
9 of 15: Try them all.
10 of 15: And think about the story "The Tortoise and the Hare."
11 of 15: Sometimes slow and steady wins the race.
12 of 15: Choose the slowest car (on far right).
13 of 15: Yes REALLY. Pick the Quarkmobile. And ignore Charlie's comments about your ridiculous selection.
14 of 15: When the race starts, hold down the left mouse button without letting go for the entire race.
15 of 15: It seems unlikely, but you will always win this way!
