Fun! I love this sort of thing! But I'm confused about the goal. I just got a score above 2048, but my highest single tile was only 256. Am I right in thinking the main aim is the high tile itself, and the score is kind of irrelevant (though it presumably corresponds to things you do to get a high tile)?

Yep...single tile...first play I thought it was a silly waste of time....while that may be true...I made the mistake of leaving the window open on my laptop and now I'm hooked.

 

256 is good....I was stuck there for awhile...still only got one 512 here

This will be fun amusement in the hospital. I'm sure it was totally an accident, as I got almost stuck twice, but I got a 3048. I also have no idea how it happened.

I can't get past a 512 single square. But I do keep getting high total scores. Why, oh why, does this have to be so addictive?

My best so far was 512 in a single square, while also having 256 in another square on the same board at the same time. Things went downhill very quickly after that...

 

I never would have though it possible, but this game is even more addictive than Tetris. I'm going to be seeing numbers when I try to sleep tonight! Good thing I'm on vacation.

Curse you, Lisa! I just wasted two hours of my weekend on that game.... Evil! :ph34r:

 

I can only get up to a 512 tile. I had a 256 and a few other high tiles at the same time once, but then it all fell apart.

Gah!

 

Eeeeeevilllll!

I've passed this along to my oldest daughter who is the super math nerd. I want her to share my pain. I've managed some high scores, but can't get past a 1024 tile. It taunts me, and I can't help myself... I keep playing. Curse you!

I got it! I got it! I did it late late late last night, I was doing a happy dance in my chair. It won't taunt me anymore and I can safely play my new Diablo expansion in peace. But, having it mobile will give me something to do and curse in the hospital Thursday afternoon. :)

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @BelleDeJour, Have you thought about keeping a food mood poo'd journal?  Recording what and when you eat can help pinpoint possible culprits for your outbreaks.  A red dye additive used in some foods and drinks contains iodine.   Have you considered getting a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  Having Celiac genes and a positive response to a gluten free diet can be used as part of a diagnosis of Celiac Disease without undergoing a gluten challenge.   Do get checked for Diabetes.  Activated Neutrophils are involved in making dermatitis herpetiformis blisters and they are also found in Diabetes.  Apparently, high glucose levels contribute to activating Neutrophils.  People with dermatitis herpetiformis have a 22% increased risk of developing Diabetes.  One study found a majority of people with dermatitis herpetiformis have four or more autoimmune diseases (Addison's, dermatitis herpetiformis, Diabetes, and thyroiditis being the most common). I have dermatitis herpetiformis and I developed Type Two Diabetes.  Ninety-eight percent of diabetics are deficient in Thiamine.  I changed my diet to the AutoImmune Protocol Diet and took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, that has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity.  I no longer have any symptoms of diabetes. Because half of Celiacs carry the MTHFR mutation, I supplement with methylated B vitamins.  Many of the B vitamins, including thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, improve the neuropathy that goes along with dermatitis herpetiformis (that itchiness without a blemish).   I take additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  Benfotiamine promotes intestinal health.  Thiamine TTFD improves Gluten Ataxia, brain fog, and fatigue.   I use J. Crow's  Lugol's iodine because I have had hypothyroidism.  It's rapidly absorbed through the skin, so it doesn't trigger the immune system in the digestive system.  Thiamine deficiency is also found in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.   And... Thiamine has been shown to calm down Neutrophils.  Calmed down Neutrophils don't make dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  My skin has improved so much!   Hope this helps!

According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:
