Subject:      T.I.M. **SPOILER**

If you want to solve the puzzles "Free Pokey the Cat" ,   "Pop
both balloons" and "Put the balls in the baskets" BY YOURSELF,

STOP READING NOW!!














Free Pokey the Cat:
The big trick is the teeter-totter they already have out.  You don't
need it.  Set up a ramp under the bowling ball (conveyor belt, two
up ramps) and then the teeter-totter you have in your selection box.
The conveyor belt goes under the bowling ball and is driven by the mouse
in the cage on the FAR left.  Use a ramp to make the balloon over there
hit the far left mouse, then have the mouse drive the bowling ball up
the ramp you made to the teeter-totter.  Tie one end of the T.T. to the
cage over Pokey.  Use a piece of ramp to make the second balloon hit
the lowest mouse cage; it will bump into it and fly upwards.  Use a
second piece of ramp (facing the opposite direction) to have it bounce
over and hit the remaining mouse cage.

Pop both balloons:
Put a piece of ramp under the bowling ball so it slides down and fright-
ens Pokey into walking onto the T.T.  Get the T.T. they give you out and
put it low in the screen.  Get the monkey out and put it so its chain
will be able to drive the cogs (through the opening in the brick).  Tie
the low end of the T.T. that Pokey walks on to the low end of the T.T.
you brought out, and tie the other end of the T.T. that you brought out
to the monkey's blind.  This will cause the monkey to start pedaling.
Stretch a belt between the monkey's bike and the cog on the far right.
This will pop the balloon in the cogs.  The second balloon is the trick.
Put a piece of ramp over the second balloon so that it will bump into
the underside of that rectangular area where the bowling ball is.  Put
a conveyor belt under the pipe of that rectangluar area, and put
another conveyor right after that one.  (The idea is to user the balloon
into the set of cogs via the conveyor belts.)  Use the cogs to drive
the conveyor belts.  (You may have to play around a while to find which
cogs get the belts going in the right direction.)  Finally, put a piece
of ramp at the end of the last conveyor belt (leaving enough room for
the balloon) so that the balloon will hit the ramp and get knocked into
the cogs.  When running the machine, you have to WAIT for the balloon
to get popped.  It takes 3 TIMES (maybe four) for the balloon to hit
the conveyor belt just right so it gets knocked low enough to get
popped.


Put the Balls in the Baskets
The key to this one is using the balloon practically trapped in the
little cubicle of brick.  Get a T.T. from the bag of tricks and put it
next to the large basket (practically off the screen; only the end of
it shows).  Tie the T.T. to the enclosed balloon.  This will pull the
balloon when it rises (if you place the T.T. correctly; it should be
about the same level as the balloon itself--about mid-way down the
basket).  Put the other provided T.T. at the end of the line of brick
at the top.  Use the cogs to drive the bowling ball forward (although
I think you *could* do it the other way, but I'm going with what I
remember) instead of backward.  The bowling ball rolls off the line of
brick onto the T.T. which drops it into the large basket.  The balloon
gets pulled over as it rises and hits the other mouse cage which you
use to drive the conveyor belt under the basket ball which hopps right
into the smaller basket.  Oh, use a piece of ramp to hit the mouse
cage way at the top to drive the conveyor belt under the bowling ball
of course.

I've tried to be as complete as possible, but if you have problems,
write me back.
