2048 Strategy

2048 strategy - Well, I could not beat it initially until I read someone else's 2048 strategy. But their strategy was really confusing. Worse, everyone copied and pasted the same "confusing" guide.<br /><br />But, once I saw this picture, it was all crystal clear.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6knE-h73eK2_d9LBM3tvKQasK_jEIzARVX2zQjzQp52hNLTPAn_FXVGwUb-oxg6-_BYL59Z119JMUA9pFkVJS8Q1L6hNil_bXXOn73dup-g_Ii7fnYSeQt2SL9bWRpdoKciR1oBUuuTW/s0/2048-strategy.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6knE-h73eK2_d9LBM3tvKQasK_jEIzARVX2zQjzQp52hNLTPAn_FXVGwUb-oxg6-_BYL59Z119JMUA9pFkVJS8Q1L6hNil_bXXOn73dup-g_Ii7fnYSeQt2SL9bWRpdoKciR1oBUuuTW/s640/2048-strategy.png" style="border: none;" /></a><br /><br />I beat it a couple of times on my first night until I wanted to go higher than 2048, which I did 4096. Then the nausea feeling started to set in due to insufficient sleep. Moreover, it was repetitive. I stopped altogether after that.<br /><br />3 simple rules:<br /><ol><li>Focus on bottom left corner</li><li>Always fill up the bottom row, left to right</li><li>Merge the bottom row numbers without moving the corner stone. In the above case, it's sliding left.</li></ol><a name="more"></a><br /><br />Use the video as a guide. I saw the video and the corner stone was moved many times, perhaps inevitable. He was lucky that another new tile did not appear in it's place. Since I bought the SCR Pro, I will record my video as proof. My blog always walk-the-talk. But it may take a while for me to reproduce and record it and that nausea feeling... When you played too many times, it got a little bit "sick" especially after you had beaten it many times.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/muE8g6libkc" width="500"></iframe><br /><br />A screenshot as proof that I walk-the-talk.

Well, I found one.<br /><br /><b>Credits to Nick Statt from CNET:</b><br /><br />For instance, if you're dealing with the unfortunate circumstance of a rectangular block and you can't move left or right or even up, there are ways to get out that involve breaking the above mentioned rule of never moving opposite the location of your largest tile.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWREV85GCk8TiGd7Tn-GL7xReumE56-JMz0PMLs6-inywVsi7NOYqzFfVvMyk9sGIFEp21lgG-I3avwcLtiNsRjDa7w0PHIrVs1jk-lmNeclQADQzQoyhcxdxkNx14rEvQKmlZ6ewG_ga/s0/2048-new-tile-in-the-corner.jpg"><img alt="2048 new tile in the corner" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWREV85GCk8TiGd7Tn-GL7xReumE56-JMz0PMLs6-inywVsi7NOYqzFfVvMyk9sGIFEp21lgG-I3avwcLtiNsRjDa7w0PHIrVs1jk-lmNeclQADQzQoyhcxdxkNx14rEvQKmlZ6ewG_ga/s640/2048-new-tile-in-the-corner.jpg" style="border: none;" width="500px" /></a><br /><br />In this scenario, a three-row block can be solved by making the otherwise ill-advised decision to pull downward, but quickly creating an opportunity to put the two highest tiles back in the corner.<br /><br />*Another way to prevent the corner stone from moving is to fill up the left column as well. If you slide up, at least the corner stone will not move.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2  <span style="color: red;">32</span> 16 8        </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">   <span style="color: red;">32</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">              <span style="color: red;">32</span>       4</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">16 <span style="color: red;">8</span>  4           2  <span style="color: red;">8</span>               </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2  <span style="color: red;">8</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">8  <span style="color: red;">4</span>              16 <span style="color: red;">4</span>  16 2         </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">16 <span style="color: red;">4</span>  16 2</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">   <span style="color: red;">2</span>              8  <span style="color: red;">2</span>  4  8         </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">8  <span style="color: red;">2</span>  4  8</span><br /><br />*This could be a lucky result from going left after a 2 appeared in the wrong place when going right in the previous example. Now, going down will result in the top row holding only the 32 and possibly a random spawn, so you can move the 32 back to either the top right or top left corner. - credits to scenia<br /><br />

Planes cannot just hide behind now. Same hit-rate.</li><li><b>Psychic</b> - Stuns all types of units (driver inside synthetic/pilot inside plane). Same hit-rate.</li><li><b>Raptor</b> - 100% successful hit-rate in stealing energy when charged up.</li></ol><br />With these units re-balanced, hopefully these units will be more utilized but not over-powered.<br /><br /><br />Of course, the number one issue of Avalon Wars is the super long cool down duration. iFree really seriously need to consider bringing down the construction cool down duration. It is too ridiculously long.

MicroSIM Cutter

Well, if you are worried that you may miscut your SIM to a MicroSIM and it does not work, I saw this MicroSIM Cutter product. Personally, I have NOT used them yet so I cannot give you an evaluation.

MiFi for iPad WiFi

Did you say your iPad has no 3G? Fret not. Use MiFi, battery operated Mobile Broadband device.<br /><center><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1GOd5iZVuTA3aLCrr9p1ENDprLlbgt3uI3VvcQLydaia9XHhztuvyMOglDWMxVQjCdZo3vpGRqCjs2PAj6IUUEsGgpZ0YCiP6gMVshWRKiNKTqBfbTfBZ379JNGKJFxyvn3db42nQEna/s1600/mifi_2532.jpg"><img border="0" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1GOd5iZVuTA3aLCrr9p1ENDprLlbgt3uI3VvcQLydaia9XHhztuvyMOglDWMxVQjCdZo3vpGRqCjs2PAj6IUUEsGgpZ0YCiP6gMVshWRKiNKTqBfbTfBZ379JNGKJFxyvn3db42nQEna/s640/mifi_2532.jpg" style="border:none;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaGInJHsCjpiTlRXbx8ZoMDIaxfdSTirljZNG8vJ11sXEQQaVEZFEK1EMl4nc1uDyFkiwILi62VmsE-jcCVQy8u4p9eOzKksRsKaG_ZxsENWjKGNrEYGF5xYZ6obiS9UWR8WhA93Iq3vV/s1600/e5832.jpg"><img border="0" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihaGInJHsCjpiTlRXbx8ZoMDIaxfdSTirljZNG8vJ11sXEQQaVEZFEK1EMl4nc1uDyFkiwILi62VmsE-jcCVQy8u4p9eOzKksRsKaG_ZxsENWjKGNrEYGF5xYZ6obiS9UWR8WhA93Iq3vV/s400/e5832.jpg" style="border:none;" /></a><br /></center><br /><a name="more"></a><br />Since I am selling my iPad WiFi only, this is the workaround that makes your iPad WiFi acts like 3G. Connects up to 5 WiFi devices like your iPad WiFi on the go. Just carry this small device with you and you have a iPad "3G" on the Go, Go, Go.<br /><br />I inquired that the Singtel Huawei 5832 uses a propietary "camera type" battery that charges with USB from Notebook/PC or iPhone type 3-point plug interface. Active time of 4 hours, standby time of 100 hours. E5832 has dualband 3G (900/1800 MHz).<br /><br />How much: SingTel BroadBand on Mobile customers can sign up for its BroadBand on Mobile 7.2Mbps plan at a special promotional price of $34.50 (24-month contract).<br /><br /><b>The plan offers</b>: Free Huawei E5832 USB modem<br /><br />Download and upload speeds of 7.2Mbps and 1.5Mbps respectivel<br />50GB of mobile data<br />100 SMS and 20 MMS monthly<br /><br />Yet to check out M1 and Starhub.<br /><br />PS: Btw, a quick explanation of terms here. Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity (IEEE 802.11b wireless networking). Then what is MiFi? I believe it stands for Mobile (Broadband) Fidelity.
