Understanding: Beauty and the Electric Tentaclekeybounce11/11/2009 - 14:36

I'm trying to understand the OCD on this level. I saw on wogfan's youtube channel a video where it looks like the following is done:

1. Pop all the spare balloons.
2. Flip beauty over the gap.
3. Move all the heavy black balls to the far side.
4. Do something with the block to get it to the pipe.

I don't understand:

1. Why pop the spare balloons?
2. How do you flip beauty without dropping her?
4. What are you doing with the block?

Help please?

Hi there.

1. You don't need them and they are annoying, because they tend to get in your way when you have to grab a black ball very quickly.
2. With a combination of mouse control and timing. In general, you can throw balls at moving objects to kick them in the desired direction. That's what you do with Beauty here.
4. The same thing as with Beauty. You slam a ball into it to move it where you want it.

Edit:
Btw, OCD is possible without these things. ;)
