This made me cry and the devs should feel bad about it
The "hint" is basically pointless and the same nonsense for every single one of these puzzles, even though they have different stickers and different placements.
The only way I was able to figure this out was to go online and from suggestions on Reddit to try from anywhere 8 to 5 spaces consecutively for each stupid sticker to see what would work. Because some of the spaces are so far from each other it basically wants me to do stupid division to figure out the spacing and from there figure out from the two same stickers that are farthest to each other, ignoring how far apart everything else is.. and divide that by the number of stickers left.. the puzzle hint makes no sense and is pointless. I guessed 6 spaces for all, after doing 8 to 7 each for all, at the last point and it worked, but this entire puzzle hint structure is horrible and almost messed up my 30 consecutive day run and made me cry. The one in the game made sense and had a reasonable hint structure. F you, whoever created this mess! I came here to do puzzles!Uhg. I'm so done with this crap when I finish the trophies. I'm seriously mad AF hell at this. This was NOT FUN at all and nobody could figure this out easily and were scrambling online for answers.
ps- tldr- answer:
you want to do division to figure this out. find the 2 same stickers in the calendar pattern that are farthest apart. count those spaces between. take that number of spaces and divide by the number of the same stickers left in your sticker book to move. So in this case... the lady bugs are 18 spaces apart and I have 3 lady bug stickers left to place. you want to ÷ the spaces and the stickers left and get your placements. In this scenario, I had gotten 6. I had enough stickers and the placement between being 18 spaces and 3 stickers=6 spaces.
This was confusing at first, because I thought I had to do this for each sticker, no just find the one that has a repeating sticker, and there's two usually, and one is farther than the other, use that for your division if you want to figure it out faster. or just try like 5-8 spaces for every sticker, do not do like 5 and 7 spaces, always consecutive and see what works. :')
pss- yes, you will have to place some stickers in the same box, that's ok! my yellow flies and lady bugs were in the same box!
Also read some have had spacing anywhere from 2 spaces to 10! Keep that in mind and you'll find yourself on the right track when they are evenly spaced from the solid sticker already placed when counting to place them from the previous ones and after.
