Marlena the Mermaid - Crystal Ball Puzzle

Callie, colors move clockwise. Click on top color, it moves to bottom of next pair. Click on bottom color, it moves to top of next pair. Start with pair in 12 o'clock position. Note bottom color. Find matching color elsewhere and move it to top. Light will shoot up through both. Now, look at bottom color of pair in 11 o'clock position. Find matching color elsewhere and move it to create matching pair. Remember, colors move clockwise. 3rd match will be in 10 o'clock position. If you get a matching pair elsewhere, ignore it, move colors over it so you keep matching pairs in counter-clockwise order.
Good Luck.

This is the same thing that is happening to me on every crystal ball.

HELP -- I have tried 3 different times now to do the Crystal Ball Puzzle and still keep coming up with the "BLACK" screen. It will not let me go forward - even when I used the "dreaded" telephone. Please help

Why don't I get any question marks over the sites in the Mermaid section of the puzzle. Also I am still at zero in the tunnel of love. Been playing this section for over a week. HELP please! Mindee 187

There were only 2 Mystery items for Marlena: 1 at the Mermaid Dunk and 1 at the pix of Marlena in the water w/hooks, music notes and M's. If you found them, that's it. There is none in the Tunnel of Love. Check the list of mystery items at this forum or when you Google Madame Fate Walkthroughs Sally for more help on where they are.

Good luck!

Thank you very much Mindee187

Please, please, please. I've tried all your tips but I can't and don't get it.
Can you just skip one crystal ball puzzle? I guess not. I do not want to do this same puzzle again. Help, Help.......

First, CALM DOWN!

The puzzle is simple if you are calm. The puzzle consists of 2 rings of color. Each inside ring color has an outer corresponding ring color. The object is, of course, to move all the colors so they align, inside and outside ring.

It looks immense and impossible. But it isn't.

Pick a color in the inside ring (A). Click on it. It moves one slot right or clockwise to the the outer ring.

Click on the same tile (A) now in the outer ring; and it shifts down into the inner ring. Click on it again. It moves another slot right or clockwise to the the outer ring. YOU JUST MOVED IT 2 SLOTS CLOCKWISE AND INNER TO OUTER TO INNER TO OUTER RING.

Find the matching color tile (B) and keep moving your selected color tile (A) till they are aligned inside and out. You may have to move tile B to get it into the inner ring.

Select the next color to the right of your matching color (A and B). Do the same thing.

Continue till you complete the puzzle.

THEN CELEBRATE!

You are my new best friend...I did it the way you said. I'm not sure I really understand how it works but it did.

How about going for some champagne, I'm gonna celebrate.

Love some champagne. I knew you could do it.

It doesn't help that I went in with very little time, but I'm totally perplexed -- is there some sort of pattern, or is it just random luck to get them all done? Any help would be appreciated!

You are right but here is a help.If you click on one in the outer ring it will move up to the iner ring.But if you click on one frome the inner ring it will go to the outer ring and one to the left.My username is S2A4.
