meredith_eldridge Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This is my first time posting, so I hope I'm doing it right. I just wanted to say that the Coconut Shy Theory definitely works in my opinion. I had never played the game before last night and I got it on about my 5th throw tonight!

dawnshine Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I guess I'm unfamiliar with the theory, but I have barely ever played. What is it, exactly? And what did you get from it working? Welcome to the forums, btw, since you said this is your first time posting. Also I creeped on your pets and they are awesome! I've never actually seen a mutant yurble, so cool!

meredith_eldridge Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you! The theory is basically to keep your cursor on top of the first 'a' to knock off the coconut. http://www.thedailyneopets.com/articles/coconut-shy-theory/ I received the avatar, 10,000 neopoints, and a Vicious Evil Coconut which is worth over 100k I believe!! And thank you so much about my pets! I actually found my mutant yurble in the pound! This post has been edited by a member of staff (N. Prime) because of a violation of the forum rules.

hanalways Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Tried the theory, and while I did hit the coconut way more than I ever had before (which was, like, never) I haven't gotten past 50np and I tried about fifteen times. D: Maybe I just have some bad luck. And I do have to say mutant yurble is awesome. :D And welcome to TDN btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meredith_eldridge Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you! Try again tomorrow and keep the mouse REALLY still... I got 300np a few times as well doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_lady_j Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've been playing Coconut Shy this way for years, and while I have won some coconuts, I wouldn't say it's a sure thing. You will hit the coconut more often, but not necessarily every time - no matter how still you keep the cursor. It's still random, but you do increase your odds if you've been having trouble otherwise. I was curious though - like I said, I've won an evil coconut on more than one occasion, but every time I did, the screen froze and I never actually got to see a 'winning' screen. I received the prizes, but never the notification. Did you get to see this, or is the glitch for everyone? Just curious - and congratulations!

chelperk Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I got that same glitch when I won. I just sat there like, "what happened?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaziecat Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 All I got was 50 neopoints. But, when i put on the second 'a', I got three hundred...so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Brianna. Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I got the glitch as well! I was nervous I wasn't going to get my prizes... As far as the theory goes, this is what I did, but it still took me a few weeks to get the avatar...I think it's all random... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meredith_eldridge Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you everyone! I received the glitch as well. It may indeed be random to win and take longer for some people, but I think it is worth a try to play with the theory rather than not, since I got such good results this way! :) Good luck to everyone.

rntracy1 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I received a yurble transmogrification potion. I think they are cool too. When my son first started playing neopets he received a techo transmog. potion. Not knowing what it was, he gave it to one of his pets. He said to me, "Mommy, this drink turned my Mynci into a lizard. I don't like it." We both had just started playing and had no idea how it happened or how to change it back. (I didn't know what DRINK he gave it-LOL). He ended up pounding the pet to get another Mynci. He later told me it was a potion. I am wondering if that might be how your yurble ended up in the pound. Maybe not. Just a "theory." meredith_eldridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Tried the theory, and while I did hit the coconut way more than I ever had before (which was, like, never) I haven't gotten past 50np and I tried about fifteen times. D: Maybe I just have some bad luck. Same thing is happening to me... Is there a technique to actually knock the coconut down instead of just hitting it (like maybe press the mouse button down for longer?)

sophiasmommy2710 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I just tried it and it worked for me. Thats crazy. I had never even heard of that before today. although, it did the same thing to me as a previous poster had mentioned. I won the prizes but didn't actually make it to the prize screen, game froze, and i refreshed and it gave me my reward. oh well. pretty awesome, thanks for sharing!

Master of Puppets Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think this theory had read elsewhere, but had never tried, just try and win 300Np, proves to have such daily, hopefully i win one grand prize.

pixyperson Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hmmm I've actually had better luck trying to aim with my left mouse button. Still if it works for you keep doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 i always aim at the middle coconut without looking at the cursor and honestly i hit the coconut more without worrying about my cursor if it's on the letter "a" or not .. because the cursor WILL move in most cases and i have to fix it ...

leverhelven Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I knew this one, but I use a way that I think is easier! Once you're ready to shoot, right-click anywhere outside of the game screen. Then you'll be able to move your cursor over the coconuts without having it disappear. Put your cursor right on top of a coconut (any one) and click to shoot! You'll hit 99% of the time :) marmota1512 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officialsarahjay Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Eh, I'm giving it a go and so far I'm only winning 50 and 300 NP, but no big win so far. We'll see if I do hit the jackpot! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelperk Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I was lucky to get the avie with my first coco knocked down last week [or so?] I knocked down my 2nd coco just a few mins ago, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
