DAY 747 hard to get 3 stars
I've got 3 stars for every stage so far but I don't think I can get it for todays stage. To get 3 stars, it need to be less than 21.000. I tried it over and over and over but the best I could do was around 21.5. I checked in the leader boards and found that only top 60 guys cleared the 3-star time today. Isn't it too hard?

Nope. I thought it would be a challenge when I saw the score to get 3 gold stars, but I got it in 5 tries or somewhere around there.

Re: DAY 747 hard to get 3 stars
I think I agree with you, sbtsbt: I believe the gold/three-star ranking is intended to be achievable with skill, but not overly difficult. I know several people who play the game only for completion's sake (i.e., they play to get all the gold-star rankings), not for a position on the ten-day or overall leaderboards, and this level's qualification times seem slightly mis-judged.
A possible indication that there's something odd about today's level is how stupidly fast the 1000 point time is: I'm at 19.7 and have only 820 points. To get the daily 1000 would likely require a time of around 19 seconds (I usually estimate each half second of time off the 1000-point standard to be worth close to 100 points). Now, 19.7 is definitely beatable, but a 19.1 would be very surprising, and surely far too difficult just to get the daily 1000. (If I remember correctly, the 1000 point standard is just a dev's guess for a very solid run on the daily level. We've had "low" days like this before, point-wise, but I'd be interested to know if we've ever had so few gold stars...)
Maybe we're missing something about today's track?

Re: DAY 747 hard to get 3 stars
It is bloomin tough! I gave up after 20 mins or so of my first go, been going at it on and off for the last few hours and I was starting to also think I'd never get it. Just have though so chuffed with that!
Does seem to be a ridiculous time for three stars, not even up to 100 people to have got there and only 2.5 hours left to go.
Would anyone at redlynx be able to let us know what the lowest gold count track is? (Not including the missed days tracks of course!)

Re: DAY 747 hard to get 3 stars
Thank you all. I kept trying and finally got 3 stars after spending whole day for this stage. It was really tough and it was mostly due to luck but anyway I made it. Then I tried DAY 748 and it's 3-star time was 23.500... It seems ridiculously easy after DAY 747's 21.000
