Q: Do I win a trophy every time I go over 600?

A: You win a trophy every time you go over 600, BUT, you can only win 1 trophy in each game. So, if you win the trophy on your first or second try, close the game and start a new one.

See this important update on timing from FIA:

UPDATE: We can now report that the Zingoz are flying on an Eleven Minute Schedule. What this means is that every eleven minutes you will have a chance at having a Zingoz fly across your screen. This same timing was observed during the Webkinz ExtravaGANZa with the Flying Pigs.

Here is the first prize reported so far from Cozmic and Roselake:

Here it is as it happens:

Congratulations to DixieCup for getting the first trophy!!

For all of the following pictures, I did the best job I could of accurately measuring in Paint... I know that nothing is going to be anywhere near exact.

First off, I think my previous post on this subject shows that different positions change whether the distance is measured from the edge of Wacky's head or from a bit to the left. My next hypothesis is that even the same positions measure differently in each hit.

I decided to see how far to the left that flag is actually placed compared to the "Superman" position (the one Wacky will be in if he goes past 600):



I lined up the image of Wacky's hit at his very last point (while laying in the final moments of "superman") and the position of the flag. It is clear that the flag is farther to the left than where Wacky lands, but it isn't a huge distance.

For this second shot, I took the picture at the farthest position of Wacky possible - this is when he is getting up from his shot, which I think should count as the distance he lands...



As you can see, this is much closer to the flag's position. In fact, it is almost directly lined up with the flag.

Now, I decided to test out that annoying shot with the sign reading "599.7" while it was clearly past the 600 marker. I took the approximate distance between where the sign landed, and where I think it SHOULD have landed - I drew the line to just a bit to the right of 600, which I think depicts the distance "599.7" well. I compared this distance to the length shown in the top image of this post - the farthest possible distance between where Wacky lands in "Superman" and where the flag is placed.

This is the comparison of the two:



The distance where I assumed the flag should have been at 599.7 units is about double the farthest distance between where Wacky lands and where the flag is placed.

Therefore, I think I really was cheated out of some distance on that "599.7" shot. Also, it seems to show that not all hits of the same position measure from the same point (wherever that may be).

Just more things to ponder. I am thinking of lighting again the fire under the idea of sending Ganz those tapemeasures..... "

Have fun!

I got mine about 10 minutes after the clock rolled over. I didn't get the most, though. I think that auspicious honor went to BERT_X
