   As a matter of fact, I do understand. 

   I was under the impression, however, that all presents could be caught.
   I just haven't spent the time to figure out if there's a way to catch
   the presents that explode on impact, a.k.a 'bombs'.

   come before the left-to-right 'zinger', but I haven't gotten past that.

   i.e., I've yet to figure out the third 'type' of challege round.
   Anyoune out there who has ?

   It's been a while so I don't remember offhand.

   Final level, (17), significantly more than 370000.
