   Oh man, will someone please post a solution to this? It is killing me.

   Most I can get is 99.97%. I can’t figure out the trick, either.

   Here’s one of the solutions:

   Even using that, though, I can still only get 99.98%. I don’t know if there’s an actual trick to it, or if you just need really good spatial abilities.

   It’d be easier if we could move them again after we’d set them down.
   Boo.
   I’m at 99.89. XP

   As hard as this is I’m pretty sure carnivals cheat at it. I think they use magnetized disks and a magnet under the table so even if you’ve mastered it you can’t win. When the carny shows you how “easy” it is he turns the magnet off of course.

    Thanks much for the solutions. I can still only get 98.3%, but it’s good to know that it can be done.

    Best was 99.99% with 2 left at 8 secs. Played for an hour

    So. Hard. I made it to 99.99% and was ready to scream. At least it’s actually do-able.

    Finished it %100 in about 10 minutes.

    I overlaid the red dot in ps so you could see where the gray dots were in relation to the red dot (something I think was lacking in the previous %100 picture).

    *Hint: the white edge of the gray dots counts as cover and is needed for a %100 total.

    My Strategy:
    1.)place the dot at the top in the middle so that as much of the width of the circle covers the edge
    2 & 3.) place these two on either side of the first dot, overlapping them slightly, trying to cover more dot edge length but still try to cover enough of the middle that it would work.
    4.) I tried to cover the middle and one side leaving just enough room for the last dot
    5.) Covered the last length of edge and remaining middle.
