When using a computer, we often do drag'n'drop like throwing an object at a target, all we think about is the target, not our hand, arm or the ball - tracking device in this case.

This puzzle is much like drag'n'drop where we need to work out the target - I'll call the target image the hmmm...Target.

EDIT: sorifiend mentions dragging from border to centre instead - I've been finding that works better than what I put below.

Imagine the puzzle as a clock. We need to draw the hour hand for a particular time. Using the following, you need to work out a drag speed that suits you - not too quickly or too slowly.

• Drag from the centre of the puzzle to 12 o'clock, while comparing change to the Target then press Reset.
  
• Repeat this step for 3, 6, and 9.
  
• By now you should know whether to try either 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 or 10:30.
  
• You should now have it down to within 5 minutes which is close to the tolerance of the puzzle.
  
• Once it's close to the Target, drag slightly up, down, left or right to Tweak it - I'll call this Final Drag/Tweak.

• If it doesn't Tweak within around 10 seconds press Reset.
  
• If it doesn't solve within 3 Final Drag/Tweak walk away - I'll call that an Attempt.
  
• If it is part of a Bonus, do some other puzzles and come back - you want that Mirabili.

Using this technique, I mostly get it in 1-3 Attempts, often within 1 Final Drag/Tweak.



EDIT as sorifiend[url] pointed out, this technique works with dragging from rim to centre. Using this I'm getting much better control and solve rate so will revise this guide

There are, however, around 3-5% of these puzzles that Elude this Technique. They have numerous variations that closely match the Target. I'll decide this within 10-15 seconds and walk away for good.

In the Cloud of Pearls Alcove, there are more than enough Morphic Fractal puzzles to get the Bonus 10 in reasonable time.
