Well, I think I didn't shop around enough on this one. Usually I shop around. If I see something like "defeat 100 CFO's or 10,000 cogs" I won't take them. When I chose this task, I thought it's reasonable - only 6 dollar mints with a 4 laff boost. After knowing this is not a very easy task, I picked my other tasks that can be finished inside the cash HQ so as to consolidate them.

To added to the insult, my son "offers" to do the jump parts for me in the mint. He is arrogant now after finishing the mint in front of me.

Update: I had a coin mint run with 3 new friends from ATTA last night. I successfully jumped through those bolts. What I did was to walked to the edge and waited till it almost come nearest to me. Then hit jump key, released it and pressed up arrow immediately. For each subsequent jumps, I waited at least one cycle to find the sweet spot, positioned my toon and did the same as above.

I haven't tried changing the screen to top view yet but I will next time and see if this works better for me.

Thanks. - AC
