I still don't quite understand how this one works. I tried combinations that seemed like they should work but they were always wrong. ^^;

A visual tutorial might help.

First, if you are not on level 2, the following is important. Did the pieces make a snapping sound when you attached them, and were both the start and end pieces part of your combination? If they didn't snap, they are not connected. If you're on level 1 for instance, the "The crosswalk light is red" piece and the "Cross the road" piece are the start and end pieces. You must have both of those to complete a combination. If you aren't on level 1 and you are on level 2, this level is a bit difficult because I made the mistake of having all the pieces be the same, but loss result's text might lead you to another result if you do the chain of 3, Start piece, "Get Step Ladder" piece, end piece. Another useful piece of information is that the events typically happen right after one another, so there would be no point in "lifting weights" after you "do chores". Also, to tell if a combination makes sense after reading a few results, you can use stuff you learned from the text like Adam wouldn't help you do your chores since he's a jerk. If you are on a level higher than 2, then I guess it's just trial and error, sorry for it being so difficult and the long paragraph response.

interesting idea

That was quite fun and original. I liked the idea. I think you could try to simplify the instructions text a bit and some levels were a little bit frustrating.

Simple and fun! I had a lot of fun trying to come up with ways to connect the thoughts together. It was a little annoying that some of the combinations wouldn't work that seemed logical but overall I had fun.
