What a Coin arrangement

hi BIGZIPZ,
Your coin puzzle is a doozy. I've reached them easily enough, but I've tried so many combinations to no avail. I've drawn the coin arrangement on paper and tried to solve the puzzle at a more leisurely pace but the best I can do is to leave one coin behind. It drives me up a wall when I can't get past a certain area in a level, and without meaning to boast, it doesn't happen too often, but it sure has this time. A subtlel hint in which direction to initially start out would be tremendous, and I will understand if you are loathe to do this. I liked the start of the level and I have to believe it will be interesting right to the end. Good job.
Armando

Im assuming you mean in the "get your skates on" level? yep your right that is a difficult coin puzzle, and all I will say is that ur first move on the puzzle itself (not the level) determines wether it is possible to collect all coins or not. Maybe someone else will drop a hint for you

I actually like this puzzle so much I included it in another level, but since I figured alot would know the solution by then, I added a few nasties

This is a tricky one indeed. How did i do it?

Perhaps it might be easier to start with one coin less.

I dont understand that hint lol, but your proof it is possible to get EVERY coin on this level.

Small hint: there is a level in RTW that has these sorts of coin puzzles (not the exact same ones of course). If you've solved that level, apply what you learn there to BIGZIPZ's level. If you haven't, well, someone else here was once stumped on that RTW level and asked for help on the Discussion Board here (he/she eventually figured out the trick on his/her own though and mentioned the trick on that thread).

*****POSSIBLE SPOILER*****

I did a walk on/walk off with one of the first coins. It was then easy to get the rest.

Hi Bearsland,
Your little tip was a big help in helping me get a good night's sleep tonight. It never ceases to amaze me how easily it is to get stuck in a rut from which there seems to be no solution. Thanks again. I now have one more "trick" to use in my puzzle solving. Armando
