I got to Level 20, but I did spend some Donuts to get there. I didn't buy the Cogwheels directly, that's a waste, I used my Donuts to rush the Elf Cave and get more Elves, who then dropped Cogwheels as I Bottled them. The Elves drop the Cogwheels about 1 out of every 3 times (I did some tracking and it averages out to at least 1 in 4 to as high as 1 in 3) and they drop 4 Cogwheels when they do. So for 4 Donuts you get 4 Elves AND at least 4 Cogwheels (on average), a far better deal than 2 Donuts per Cogwheel, not to mention you now have plenty of Elves to fire out of your Elf Cannon for more Elf Bells.

I'm at the top of my Leaderboard by a wide margin, in part because I've been buying Elves by rushing my Elf Cave and have never had to wait to fire my Elf Cannon again.
