I don't buy potato chips because I will eat them. I don't come in here because I will post. Same reason I usually don't Banter Obsequiously. Especially after the "what economists don't realize is that raising minimum wage would raise prices at fast food restaurants" galaxy brain shitshow. No thank you.

I believe one day Jojo will succumb to the temptation and carnival stories and experiences will somehow bloom into stories and we somehow get an autobiography of Jojo.
Oh, right. Next you're gonna tell me the earth is round, too.

I just pop into this thread every now and then to see what the trick is to successfully make it across the rope ladder-bridge and ring the bell.

Googled "APT Jobs" because I don't know what that is. Second result.

The trick is to move your arm and your leg exactly in sequence, like a Spider-man crawl.
- Grab the next rung with your right hand while simultaneously moving your left leg to the next rung
- Then same idea, left hand & right leg on next rung in sequence.
Go get yourself that giant bear.

Or don't play at all.
This game isn't rigged, it's just impossible because of physics. The rope being anchored at one point on each end means you have to maintain your center gravity over a perfectly straight line (from the 2 anchor points) while crawling across. The second you deviate from that perfect line, you rotate and go down. Crawling across a tightrope on all fours? Goooood luck

Forget carnival games, I just wanna know how to hit the 100 point holes in Skee Ball.
Everyone knows you just climb up the ramp and place them in the 100 pointers. duh.
For real though, I was the king of the claw games. My application of physics at such a young age needs to be studied.

Allegedly. She also died in the early 2000's and was replaced by a body double so it gets a little murky.
A good bowler can figure it out. I can hit it one or two times in 5 games.

I've been told that your best chance to win the "ring toss onto a giant field of bottles" game is to bounce the ring off the ground onto a bottle.
No idea how accurate it is, just relaying the info.

The inner diameter of the ring almost matches the outer diameter of the bottle. Only a perfect shot gets it done. Again, basically rigged @JojoTheWhale
