Coconut shy in neopets

1. The Game

   • Coconut Shy is played by throwing tennis balls at coconuts sitting on poles. You aim the ball with your mouse and click to throw. Hitting a coconut gets 50 NP, almost knocking a coconut down gets you 300 NP and actually knocking one down earns 10,000 NP and a special prize. Each day you get 20 throws, and you can't buy more until the next day.

   Basic Strategies

   • The coconuts come in several different sizes, so one key strategy is to aim for the larger ones. The coconuts change places with each throw, so it's actually best to just aim for one spot to ensure accuracy. One way to keep on target is to aim at the center of the "a" when "play again" appears.

   Other Tips

   • Many of the coconuts are "glued" or "nailed" to the posts, and many Neopets players consider the game rigged. It is possible to win by aiming repeatedly at the same coconut because that increases the odds of knocking it over. There is also an unconfirmed rumor that you have better odds on your birthday. If you manage to knock over a coconut, in addition to the 10,000 NP you get a special gift: a coconut added to your stamp, coin and coconut collection.
