Welcome to Mah Jong Quest III: Balance of Life forum

I have a question about the puzzle called "Twelve Butterflies". Has anyone solved it and if so, how did you do it???

Just curious...is anyone playing this game? I have seen no other posts about this game.

I too am stumped at the 12 butterflies. You at least know where the ying and yang are. What I want to know is how you get through all the red bricks. When you use the magnifying glass you can see tiles under the red bricks. I don't get that one at all.

To solve the Twelve Butterflies, don't bother making matches. Just lift the two tiles above each yin/yang tile, and the four tiles in a column next to each yin/yang tile. That requires a total of 12 butterflies and the gold tiles slide out to the side in the space created by lifting the column next to them.

I'm stuck on Empty Lot. I clear up everything but the Ying and Yang squares but they in the middle of 4 brick blocks. However, there are only 2 sticks of dynamite. So whatever way I try to do it, I can't get to the Ying and Yang. The butterflies won't lift them up either. Has anyone solved this?

Ok. I figured out Empty Lot and I'll put it here in case someone else gets stuck. You can blow up the 2 inside blocks. I played that game more than 4 times before desperation led me to try it.

Twelve Butterflies is driving me bananas! I have found one tile (yin or yang) purely by accident and search as I have with the magnifying glass can see neither using that method! Can some kind person give me step by step instructions as how to solve this stage please before I throw my computer out of the blessed window!!!!

thank you, slm for posting the empty lot solution! i was about to lose my mind. I too am stuck on twelve butterflies - please help!

edited to say: jillOS, didn't see your post. Where are the two yin yang tiles? I've found only one.

hello? anybody?

* cue crickets....*

The solution for Twelve Butterflies worked fine for the top row because you can see the bottom edges of all the tiles. I can't see edges under the topmost tiles to use the butterflies to lift the tiles underneath. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

I am sooooo stuck on 12 Butterflies. I can't find the yin/yang tiles to clear to get the rest. Please help.

Please Please can somone post exactly how to do the 12 butterflies.. I am so lost.. I can't even find the dang yin/yang things whatso ever.. ty ty ty in advance

the yin yang tiles are under the "N" tile at the bottom 2end row and 4th row . U have to remove a stone from the stack right next to it. and then each time elevate the one under it with a butterfly, when u have tiles next to each other (even not visible) you cant reach them, elevate one of them (even not visible) and you can click on them to select (click not on top of them but under. U only have to work on those 2 (4) stacks to solve the problem. Hope this give you a better hint towards the solution.

I am really stuck on Time Tunnel.........can anyone help me??? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question about the tournement play. I notice sometimes in the last minute of the game the person I am playing against is makin non-matches, or at least they show up in the top right hand corner. Is there any place that shows all the tournament rules or how to play?

Did you ever find out how to win? I am really stuck on this one. Time Tunnel

I also was wondering about the tournament play and making non-matches. I thought that maybe it was just glitches but I noticed it only happens when someone starts their second board. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. It has been driving me crazy trying to figure this out.

I am about to go postal with the twelve butterflies. Can anybody help a couple of sisters from going batty with butterflies?

The Tournament is apparently a joke... a person came on and within 5 seconds every tile was removed from the first page - they just all lifted up and removed. It's also the one I've noticed having the high score lots of days.

Seems they must have a program or some kind of macro that makes auto moves.
