Congratulations, gfoot, you're the first to solve that puzzle!
I'm really happy that you did, because Adum keeps telling me that my puzzles are too obscure for people to solve. You just proved him wr ...

This is a known problem with the map viewer: if you're not logged in, you won't see any of the points on the map. Make sure you're logged in, and then go back to the challenge map, and you should see ...

All boards have at least one solution. Very often they have more than one. Any valid solution will be accepted.

At the moment, the server is not able to generate puzzle boards beyond level 513... so if your solver gets there, you're get a server error (500 Internal Server Error) when you try to post your soluti ...

I figured that to get people started, I would post a trivial brute-force puzzle solver, to give others a soup starter. This is really the simplest implementation, with no 'smarts', but it might help a ...

If you've tried the This is normal, the idea is that clever hackers will use all the resources at their disposition to solve the puzzle. For example, programming a puzzle solver on a computer, or netw ...
