I'm hoping somewhere in the Jenga rule book that it negates the use of anything "but" the complete use of fingers to move the blocks. Otherwise, everyone is going to show up at the World Jenga Championships with these guns, and the entire competitive industry surrounding Jenga, will collapse.

great hack in my opinion...

Did I do something wrong here? Relatively new to HN. Is this how opinions are treated?

It just doesn't add anything of value to the conversation. We all know it's a great hack, so it's just white noise to post it.

Not a hugely big deal. Just try to avoid the echo chamber and instead provide unique insight on the subject.

I thought it was a great hack, too. I suppose we should stop passing out opinions here since they get down-modded. Folks, you can just not mod posts that offer no inheriant value to you.

Do you want someone down-modding your posts simply because you are expressing how you feel in the moment and had nothing else valuable to say? I looked specifically at the comments in this post because I wanted to up-mod someone who said "great hack" because I felt the same.

Yes, that's exactly what I want. Based on the vote count, I conclude that I'm not the only one.
