It's been a long time, but here's what I remember.
Be sure to make a map of the game. It is beautiful in its symmetry. It 
also shows that good planning of the game, as some puzzles are solved in 
EXACTLY the same time as the theoretical limit. It only adds to the 
beauty of this game.
In other words, if you make the right move you will be at the meteor with 
the icicle just one move before it melts.

I hope that helps.

P.S. when you finish the game, you wouldn't by any chance be willing to 
sell the original package ? I don't own it now, and I'd love to have one 
for my own again.
Thanks.
