Booger Gets An A Trophy



Booger Gets An A Trophy - working calculator



Many people have asked how a trophy for "Booger Gets An A" is awarded, we've compiled a few tips which we hope will help you understand this game better - feel free to let me know other info. that can be included in this list.

The aim of the game is to add up the sums (by the numbers given) that Booger is thinking of.
You will get a tick mark on your report card by collecting all 3 stickers on each level.
There are 3 different stickers:
Timeout Sticker (aka Stopwatch/Clock) - Pauses the game for few seconds
* Handy to use if you are almost reaching the top, it slows the game down a little so you can think

Goal Sticker (aka Apple) - Remove 2 sums you need to do
* Use this sticker last if you can because it will end your level faster if you haven't collected the other two stickers. It appears as -2 on your screen. In actual fact it will take 3 sums off (the sum you are working on plus the 2 deducted from the sticker)

Eraser Sticker (aka Duster or Rubber) - Clears a bottom row of blocks
* Handy to use if you have almost no more moves and it will clear your blocks by one row (but be careful if your stickers you saved which you haven't used aren't sitting on the bottom row!)




* No duplicate stickers appear on the screen at any one time. If you use on sticker, chances are it will reappear again soon. If you are waiting on a particular sticker, keep the others for as long as you can to maximise the chance of the one you need to appear.

* Complete all 6 ticks on your Report Card, not necessarily on Level 6, sometimes the much needed sticker does not come on each level, so you re do the report card at the next level

* Minimum/earliest for the trophy to be awarded is on Level 6
Please remember this is a Randomly Awarded Trophy

* When you use all three stickers in one sum, you get more points, compared to using them individually, or 2 together

* Once you complete one report card and you did not get a trophy that you know of, just "X" out and start a new game (unless you are very fast at adding up). I would not recommend to go beyond Level 20 (please correct me if I'm wrong) because I, and others have not been awarded KC for high scores.

For more information on earning more KC with this game, and increasing your chances to get all three stickers on every level, please visit Williamson_39's thread here:

Update December 5, 2008:
zoeyzoeyzoey noticed that after completing one report card on Level 6, the sums do not go up to two-digits (10, 11, 12 .... ). This means you will be working with lower numbers so the math will be easier. However the score and the KC does reflect this. And it will be more difficult to get to the higher levels. Please see the photo below for a comparison of before and after blocks/sums/score/KC. I do not believe it affects trophy winning chances.
You get more KC though (with less score).
1 KC for every 16 points

* The colours correspond to the Number.
Memorising the colour sequence may help you to clear the Sums faster (this is how I play).



* The random trophy is awarded as soon as the Report Card is completed - we can confidently say that in our game, we did not need to complete the entire level
* The message that flashes very quickly is "YOU GOT A PRIZE!", similar to when you win a prize on Goober's Lab
* The trophy will be waiting in your dock

* Update: 30 January 2008: There have been reports that trophies are awarded without the message "YOU GOT A PRIZE!" appearing ~ so if you clear your 6 tick marks on the report card - check your dock!



* We compare this game to Go Go Googles, but we don't believe the higher the levels, the better the chance to win (I stopped my game on Level 32 after completing 5 Report Cards in one game and received nothing; no KC and no Trophy)

Level 32 (Score 56188 and 1173KC) where I exited the game on 21 December 2007 when this game was re-introduced back into Webkinz World. With the little information at the time we were unsure whether this trophy was random or awarded when you beat the game, so after one report card, I proceeded to Level 10, Level 20, Level 30 ... and then gave up at 3am in the morning (NZDT)!



No KinzCash Awarded

The score is greater than the maximum reasonable score.
If you exceed the maximum reasonable score, you don't get KC.



NaN Glitch
An unexplainable glitch that happens from time to time.
Just exit your game and start a new game.

Oh Raven, so did I the first time I played when this game came back 36 hours ago. Previously I'd never played this as I only joined WW mid way through the year and with no other instructions other than that posted on the game (fill in the report card and get a bonus). I completed the first report card and expected a trophy, and when that didn't appear kept playing and playing thinking perhaps I need to beat the game.

Congratulations! I also got to a very high level (several times) with no trophy... but, I'll keep playing; you know me! We have a booger trophy from when it was here the first time, so we know it's possible!

Thanks Mom2-3, I am so curious to know if the game is the same as it was then? All the info. I could find was filling in ticks on a report card to get a trophy, but didn't see "randomly awarded"!

[sassysophie94]

[mom-2-3]

This is what I keep getting

Hi Mom2-3, I got that yesterday. Perhaps Ganz has not really tested this game to it's limits.

This is my photo of my high scoring game, though I got that same message on lower scoring games.
