[QUOTE="crazyflipperfingers, post: 262506, member: 312"] I've learned a little more. In my first post I said the "ROCK" lights don't appear to stop flashing once you hit a letter. This is not entirely true. I was playing the song "Let There Be Rock" and during THAT song, the "ROCK" letters are always flashing. If you play a different song, the lights for each letter go out once you hit them as expected. So definitely don't play "Let There Be Rock" if you are exclusively going for this goal like I am. Next, from a trap on the left flipper, if you shoot at "ROCK" the easiest letter to hit is "C". You can also get "O" and I believe I got "K" once or twice, but I'm not sure on that one. "R" seems to be an impossible shot from a trap on the left flipper (I really hope this can be fixed at some point). There are several way you can try to flail to get "R" (and "K"). One is to aim for "AC/DC" and hope for a good rebound that goes over to "ROCK" or goes from "TNT" to "ROCK". I haven't found a reliable letter in "AC/DC" to aim for to get this to work consistently. It probably depends partly on which drop targets are up or down. Shots from the cannon can also give you a decent shot of bouncing from "AC/DC" over to "ROCK".
