The Polarity of "Polarium" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Black and white

Pink and auburn brown couldn't be "Polarium"'s uniform colours, because the game focuses mostly around polarity, as you may have guessed from the title and your experience with the game itself. For those of you who don't know what polarity means, it means to do with the two poles (opposites) of something, or if that's too technical for you, let's just say that it's mostly a funny way of saying opposites.

Answer: The number one

The figure is made up by having a bunch of tiles all the one colour, and all the other tiles the other colour, making us perceive something besides just a jumble of black and white tiles. Which colour is the "figure" and which colour is the "background" is random.

Answer: The board clears and you get a Level Bonus

The Level Bonuses are a healthy ten thousand points. Another helpful factor of getting the pink tiles to hit the bottom, is that all tiles above them disappear before you get the Level Bonus. This is extremely helpful if you have that horrible beeping noise going at you and telling you that the tiles are more than halfway up the top screen.

Answer: Every hundred deleted lines

This chime indicates that you've gone up a "level", and is usually heard after you get the Level Bonus, but depending on how you delete your lines, that may be different. Also when you start a new "level" you'll notice a difference in how tiles drop. For example, at the beginning of "level two" tiles will start dropping just one line at a time but the speed they drop at will increase.

Answer: One hundred

Out of these one hundred puzzles, two are greyed out before you clear them and the other forty are unlocked bit by bit by completing all the greyed out puzzles you currently have. There's also this 58 percent thing on the puzzles menu that goes up one percent every time you give some colour to a greyed out selection. Complete all the current greyed out puzzles and you unlock more puzzles until you have a grand total of one hundred.

Answer: Nineteen

One hundred and fifty puzzles in all; that's one hundred Stock Puzzles and fifty Custom Puzzles. All fifty Custom Puzzles and two of the Stock Puzzles are greyed out at first (the other forty puzzles aren't even there at the beginning remember), making the answer to this question forty-two.

Answer: Demonstrating the solution to the puzzle on the top screen before you play it

These are toggled by touching the two little icons that resemble either a "squiggly" (squiggly for "Polarium" anyway) line or two diamonds with a forward slash between them. You should be able to guess what icon does what. :)

Answer: Thirty

It'll take a while of guessing to find a password that works with having to input thirty digits. Unfortunately, entering my favourite number (fifty-two) over and over and over again in the password input to get the password 5252525252-5252525252-5252525252 doesn't work for anything.

Answer: The training option for Challenge Mode

In the case you don't know, if you go to the Lounge menu and then select Wireless Link, you'll find an option to send the "Polarium" demo version and one to send or receive Custom Puzzles. The demo contains the tutorial, ten Stock Puzzles and the Versus mode. That said, you realize that Challenge Mode isn't even in the demo.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my quiz! Mitchell Corporation also created a version of "Polarium" for GBA, and some other, mostly arcade games such as "Puzz Loop", "Charlie Ninja" and "Super Buster Bros". Thanks to Kyle for that info.
