Ground Hog Day Level 1-27 is solved in one step. Build an “L” shaped cart, and place the umbrellas above and the soda bottles on each side. Navigate your contraption over the cliff, umbrellas closed for speed. Then smooth your landing by opening the umbrellas just before reaching the ramp below. Your contraption should then navigate towards the finish line within the time limit.

I’m doing just like the video and i’m still a second behind
Yeah, this one requires even more split second timing than most. @AMSlimfordy — How many tries did it take you to get this one? Please don’t say anything less than 10.
I may choose to not answer the question. It could upset you. I just watched my original video file and counted…
@marquis , try taking out the middle umbrella and see if that helps you. :)
Thank YOU!! Finally!! I was losing it with this one. Middle umbrella out and boom, first try.
Can you turn the soda bottles? How?
Yes, just tap the bottle you wish to rotate while in Build Mode. It rotates….clockwise, I think?
Clockwise. :)
After an hours worth of trying, I finally made it with about 30 seconds to spare. But it on’y happened after the apparatus lost some of it’s tail end that was slowing it down on the lower and bottom straight portions.
Done with this one, I won’t revisit unless I am in serious need of a case of deep frustration and angst.
The only way I could complete the time icon was to take out the middle umbrella. Everything else is just like the video.
Perfect. Tried for hours. After I took out middle umberella…success. Thank you!
You are welcome @masmith52 ! Glad it worked for you. :D
Thanks @brave1966. Just like masmith52 I was stuck on this one for a long time. Eliminated the middle umbrella and got it within 5 minutes.
You are welcome @pourpete ! Seems like a lot of us got stuck on this one. LOL :)
Took out the middle umbrella and got it on the second try. I lost the top rear of the contraption upon landing, but I think it helped me make it across with a bit of time to spare.
Good deal @hoosierbear ! I also nailed it the second time after axing the middle umbrella. The first try, I lost the rear and came up just short.
thanks got me the time one in the 1st try
Thanks for the tip you guys I did try over an hour : but I finished with 43 seconds to spare. I am sincere I never expected to finish that time trial like that. Again thank you very much for your comments . I will not visit this level again…!!!
You are welcome @abhijit and @nacho18!
The only time I’m revisiting this level is to complete it on my iPod touch. :)
@brave1966 @liam — Thanks for the tips. Had to go even further — Ended up just barely making it with 3 in a row wood boxes and 2 umbrellas (middle one missing), plus soda bottles and pig as shown in video).
@AMSlimfordy — Notice that there is no alternate strat marking for BPs
True. That’s only part of the AB hierarchy.
You are welcome @mvnla2 ! You’re right about the split-second timing required to get that time icon. :)
Finally! like many i took out the middle umbrella but for some reason still missed the mark. so i moved the bottle on the front to the underside between the 2 wheels and nudged the whole thing to the left and got it first time.
I made a car of three, but instead a box in the middle, use a bottle of soda, too umbrellas, too more sodas and the piggie in the front. that makes it more easy.
Here’s a simpler three-star contraption. http://angrybir.de/V3Hsg2
It still isn’t trivial to get it to the finish line within the time limit, but I had fully half a second left on the clock, so there’s some wiggle room.
I am going nuts with number 27!!! Took out the middle umbrella and improved time, but there has to be something I am missing. Help!
There’s quite a few other comments on this page offering advice.
Finally!!! took out the middle box and replaced it with a bottle and moved the pig to the front. TaDa! Yeah, Thanks everyone.
Build a one-box cart and add soda bottles to the top,left and right (mouth facing downwards).Activating the bottles will carry you to the finish line in time limit (you can avoid krak-snap by your cart also).
Here’s one I did, but I only made it to the finish with only 0.06 seconds left. But it can win in one run.
