Please help, i have tried the other tips and nothing. I have been trying for a week!!

can help you. Diner Dash 3, level 42. When the game starts go to the podium and wait there. You get a father and son, 6 girls, 2 lovebirds, 4 bookworms, and 4 joggers. You want to seat and serve the slower people first on each round, it makes chaining easier, just seat and serve in the order I list them. So when the 4 joggers arrive, seat the 2 lovebirds, 6 girls, 4 joggers, and a father and son. Right about now, or very shortly, 2 phone yappers will arrive and you can seat them as well to make it 5 tables for the first round. Once you have everyone seated give drinks to one table and when they are ready take all the orders. While you wait for food to cook you can again give drinks to one table, then pass out all the food and go to the podium while they eat to make people happy. After you make people happy mop any spills there may be and then go around and give out just the checks, then go around again and collect the dirty dishes. Continued

Continued: Go back to the podium and again make people happy before you seat the next round of customers. For the second round just seat 3 tables, a family, 2 girls, and 6 women. Do the same routine as before and then for the third round you seat 4 tables, 4 bookworms, 2 lovebirds, 2 old men, and 6 girls. Same routine as before and for the fourth round you seat 5 tables, 2 girls, a family, 3 women, 5 girls, and 2 women. Some of these customers you won't see untill you seat other customers as they are outside the door. Do the same routine as before and for the fifth round you seat 3 tables, 6 bookworms, 2 women with babies, and 2 yappers. Do the same routine and for round six you can seat 3 tables, 2 groups of 4 bookworms and 3 old men. Continued..

Continued: Then your last round will be 3 tables as well, 3 bookworms and 2 groups of 4 old men. Don't forget to make good use of color bonuses when you seat people and if you keep the yappers at that outside table for 2 they shouldn't be a problem. There are other ways to do this level but I thought this was one of the easier ways that would get you expert score. If you need more help just let me know. Good luck!

Here's the seating arrangement I used and the color matches I made. I will list the customers colors going from left to right as you would see them standing in line. You have one table for 6 up front, in the middle there are 2 tables for 2, the table for 2 on the left we'll call 2A, the one on the right we'll call 2B. At the back we have 2 tables for 4, the one on the left we'll call table 4A and the one on the right we'll call 4B.

Continued:
Round 1:
2 lovebirds (green, yellow), seat at table 2B.
6 girls (blue, 2 purple, blue, yellow, purple), seat at table 6.
4 joggers (2 yellow, 2 brown), seat at table 4A.
Father and son (both green), seat at table 4B, seat them beside each other, not across.
2 yappers (brown, green), seat at table 2A.

Round 2:
A family (yellow, brown, yellow), seat in 4A and color match the old man and father to a brown and yellow seat.
2 girls (both green), seat in 4B and color match in 2 green seats
6 women (purple, yellow, blue, 2 purple, blue), seat in the table for 6 and color match in the 2 purple and 2 blue seats.

Continued:
Round 3:
4 bookworms (blue, purple, 2 green), seat in 4B and color match in the 2 green seats.
2 lovebirds (yellow, green), seat in table 2B and color match in a yellow and green seat.
2 old men (green, purple), seat in table 2A and color match in a green seat.
6 girls (2 yellow, brown, 2 purple, brown), seat at the table for 6 and color match in 2 purple seats.

Round 4:
2 girls (brown, green), seat in table 2A and color match in a green seat.
Family (green, yellow, blue), seat in table 4B and color match the green old man to a green seat, but put him in the one that will allow you to leave the other green seat empty for the baby.
3 women (green, 2 yellow), seat in table 4A and color match in 2 yellow seats.
5 girls (3 green, 2 purple), seat in the table for 6 and color match in the 2 purple seats.
2 women (blue, green), seat in table 2B and color match in a green seat

Continued:
Round 5:
6 bookworms (2 purple, 2 green, 2 yellow), seat in the table for 6 and color match in the 2 purple seats.
2 women with babies (brown, green), seat in table 2A and color match in a green and brown seat. You can't give them high chairs here and the babies will cry but don't worry, theres no one around them to care and they won't loose any hearts over it.
2 yappers (yellow, green), seat at table 4B and color match one yapper in a green seat, make sure you seat the yappers across from each other, not beside.

Round 6:
4 bookworms (yellow, 2 purple, blue), seat at the table for 6 and color match in the 2 purple seats.
4 bookworms (blue, purple, green, blue), seat in table 4A and color match in a green seat.
3 old men (2 green, purple), seat in table 4B and color match in the 2 green seats

continued:
Round 7:
3 bookworms (green, 2 purple), seat at the table for 6 and color match the 2 purple seats.
4 old men (brown, purple, 2 blue), seat at table 4A and color match in 2 blue seats.
4 old men (blue, purple, 2 green), seat in 4B and color match in the 2 green seats.

There are other ways to do this, this way seemed to have the most obvious color matches which is why I did it like this. It will get you to expert score and you should get there right after you seat the last round, if not you should be very close to the 20,000. Families and groups of 3 can cause differences in the seating plan depending on which seats you put them in at the table. I've tried to explain and arrange things so its not a problem but I could have missed something so just let me know if somethings not working out. Good luck!

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
I used your method..step by step...and got 21,065.
I appreciate the time it took you to provide these detailed instructions.

Thanks Jenny!!! I will try!!!!

Jeny,
Hi. I am finally up to this level and I am going to try your method. I am a home mum of 2 and have only a little time on my hands so I appreciate any help as I do enjoy this game!
Thanx again

Thank you! I will try this and let you know.

Pitypat, Singergirl,Donna, Dokowitz,
Your welcome! Good luck!!

Jen

YAY! I done it! Thank you! :)
I didnt get expert - but at least it passed!

been on this a few days and not getting it. Closest I got was just over 14200...driving me a bit mad now!

just after posting I tried again and got it!!! :) phew!! What I did different this time was to make sure to just give the cheques first before taking the plates...seemed to get more points that way.

Irish,
In the first few paragraphs where I describe the routine, I say to "Go around and give just the checks, then go around again and collect dirty dishes." Thats what i meant and thats why, it's more points to do it that way. Although it's quicker to click the table twice, you'll loose many points and have a very hard time getting expert scores, as I'm sure you found out. Good luck with the rest!

Jen

i tried again why cant I do it? I tried what u said but I cant do it HELP!!

I got 19900!!! GRR! *tries again*

bubblegum,
Look for color matches if you need some extra points. As I said before I used the most obvious color matches and if I remember correctly, there were many places where I could have used a different match for more points. If you can't find any just let me know and I'll help you. Good luck!
