Regular reader djJohnnyD put together a guide on how to beat Logic Line every time, but it only applies to Genius difficulty. The key here is to pick up on the natural patterns that exist within the logic puzzles. He (and I both) hope this helps you with your adventures in L.O.B.E. Thanks djJohnnyD, you’re “Extraordinary!”
First, learn to identify the main characters:
As you can see, there is a lot of verbiage in there. Here is what you will want to learn to key in on: focus on the characters that are listed as not being next to two other characters.
In this example, Zack is not next to Will or Fern, and Jill is not next to Fern or Ian. Believe it or not, this just gave you all the information you need to solve the puzzle. How? Follow with me.
Did you notice anything in common between those first two characters? Neither of them is next to Fern. On top of that, Big Fish follows a nice pattern, where the person named before the common character goes before them, and the person named after the common character goes after them. Follow with me:
1. Zack is not next to Will or Fern
2. Jill is not next to Fern or Ian
3. Thus, Will – Fern – Ian go together in that order.
We established that both Zack and Jill both come before these three, since neither of them can be next these characters. The puzzle tells us that Zack cannot be next to Will, which means that:
1. Zack goes into character spot #1
2. Jill goes into character spot #2
The final step is moving the last character to the last spot. Who it is does not really matter, since they will be determined for you by this point:
Then it is just a matter of moving everyone into his or her spaces. I guarantee this will work every time on Genius. That is, until/unless Big Fish makes any changes. Once you learn to identify the pattern, you will easily be able to beat it in less than 30 seconds.

Big Fish Games has released the August riddles for Riddle O’Day and — although it took us longer than usual to get them to you — we’ve posted the new ones on our riddles and answers page. Also, we’ve archived last month’s riddles along with the others (links are at the bottom of the page). Enjoy!
The famous Riddle O’Day glitch is back today. People are reporting being able to get more than one riddle/chest today by re-entering the room after they’ve already answered their riddle and received their chest. As a result, people are getting a lot more tokens than usual.
Mind you, we’re pretty sure this violates the Terms of Service, so we warn you not to take advantage of this problem. In fact, you may not even want to play Riddle O’Day at all today, because the shared room bonuses are coming quite often with all of those people taking advantage of the glitch and getting numerous chests.
A rumor we just heard: “you know they can see how many times you enter the room. last time this happened they deducted 50,000 tokens from some people’s accounts”. See, this is serious business people!
Update: Charlie (ION_Charlie) wrote in to let me know that taking advantage of the glitch is a clear violation of their terms of service and that the glitch was due to server upgrades (which were meant to fix the problems so they don’t happen again). –Lure
