<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 104 moves (old: 107). Missed a shortcut on the first finish

<mm> (SPOILER) Me. It was such a long walk, but a really easy task. <John Lewis> Just curious, who gave this level a difficulty rating of 3?!

<Citron> Where am I, where do I go, I don't even known who I am when I go out of this machine...

<Doom> Isn't this one of the original Sokoban levels? 23, according to my sources. I don't think these clones are really 'that' cool. Especially when the levels contain nothing but block pushing.

<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 1123 moves (old: 1248). This one will most likely get a lot lower. I just played through it without thinking too much about the order of things.

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) That might be your problem - Euler won't help you here. Hamilton might, although he never actually solved this type of problem - just stuck his name on it. I guess that isn't much help either. Thanks for playing!

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 2718 moves (old: 3352). Another CC level that makes a great Escape challenge. :) I like playing it in Escape better, since you can hold down the keys when going down the long passages...;) Anyways, here's my solution - I tried using the same one I used in CC. I'm wondering if more is possible... <bpotetz> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 3352 moves (old: 3368). Nice Sokoban, Erik. Tedious in some spots, but two nice semi-interacting puzzles.

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 80 moves (old: 84). Thanks Eric!

<Eric119> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 72 moves (old: 74). Simple improvement on mm's run.
Number Series: 1	Thu 23 Mar 2006 19:19
<mm> I'm looking forward to 234... and even 89 or 2006 (-;

<mm> (SPOILER) I must confess, I cheated, too... "but you should be able to solve it without looking up the solution or writing a program" ??? Never ever, no way, even if I do know a little maths and even if I know who is Euler.

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 122 moves (old: 126). Definitely very cool. Also fun to speed-run (should be optimal?) <mm> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 126 moves (old: 132). What a wonderful and clear design (:
The Possible Riddle Revised	Wed 22 Mar 2006 16:46
<mm> I think this level is opticully more confusing than the first one - once it's zoomed out and everything gets very small, it's really hard to clearly see what's going on, especially because teleports, arrows and normal "streets" are all grey. Whereas without zooming out, it's to hard to keep orientation.
The Possible Riddle Simplified	Wed 22 Mar 2006 16:39
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) *hits self on head* This is so much better! :) Thanks, Henri. I guess I forgot that you can put a "teleport portal" in a separate area instead of including tons of ports within the grid, which can get messy (as evidenced in my variation ;)).
The Possible Riddle Revised	Wed 22 Mar 2006 16:17
<Doom> As a matter of fact, I find this version even more confusing than the first one. How am I supposed to see anything in this sea of teleports? It's anyway interesting to see in how little space this can be squeezed. It was more tricky to implement without becoming enormous than I thought.
The Possible Riddle	Wed 22 Mar 2006 13:07
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) For those who don't know what this level is, it's based on the impossible riddle: try to draw a continuous line through a 3x3 grid that passes through all nine squares twice and moves only horizontally and vertically. According to David, it can be proved impossible by using a partiy argument. The only reason why this adaptation of the puzzle is possible is because of the double trap. :) I think much of the confusing nature of this level arises from its lack of rigidity. David took into account every possible order that the squares could be traveled in, so every combination needs to be accounted for. At first when I designed the Escape version, I didn't include the wires. But then I found this to be somewhat annoying, so I added them in to help the player out (it is beneficial to zoom out when playing this level). I suppose that this could be made less complicated...if anyone wants to make a mod, feel free :) I just thought this design was pretty cool... <Doom> (SPOILER) Actually, I'll take back the statement about doing this level in a less confusing way in CC. I forgot that the teleports aren't really usable in this, and had one misconception about something in this level. But in Escape this could be definitely remade more clearly. <Doom> (SPOILER) The hardest thing about this is realising what this level represents. It could be less messy, after all. Once you get that far, it's not very difficult. Oh yeah, this could be done a lot more simply in both Chip's Challenge and Escape.

<Tom 7> Welcome Eric! =) <Eric119> Yes, you caught me. :) I'm Eric Schmidt.

<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Actually, that's the only way it can be solved... <Blue Devil> (SPOILER) Cook: Solved it in one move. Didn't have to move.
