<radiant> I checked the original solution and it was the same as what I found. Whether there are any other solutions or not, I stand by a 10-6-9 rating because to me "rigidity 10" means only one successful possibility at every move, and at the least it's possible to run backwards here before processing the cipher. Even if you didn't use the neat broken block mechanism, you could have run back and forth in place to delay the solution to 1142, and been nearly as effective at disguising the bit count. Probably even more effective at getting people to try a bunch of guesses before they gave up. <pieguy> i'm mostly curious if the key you found was the same as the one in the original solution (someone gave it a rigidity of 9). was it your ideas from your april comment that ultimately led to the solution? <radiant> If you really wanted to be funny, you could have added another row or two of remotes along the top and had a bot there to flip some bits of the text after step 1008, so as not to be constrained by designing to a single predetermined plaintext. Just enter in your key of choice, run the cipher to see how it turns out, then put in the requisite bit flips after the fact. How about I take a poll on whether I disclose the key to finally put this level to rest, or keep it as a challenge for anyone who dares to follow...then just ignore the results and replace it with a roll of a 30-sided die. Sure I could just use a coin, but bigger numbers and more complexity are good, right? <pieguy> holy cow! you actually solved it?!?! i'm impressed. how about a breakdown of cpu time/memory usage? tom, would it be appropriate to move this level into "very funny" or something similar? i should have asked for this sooner. |

<Tom 7> Wow, very nice technology! <John Lewis> This is simply brilliant. <gary> The timer ticks when a block is pushed. Nice. <radiant> 'Pushing Eighteen' uploaded by radiant: The next generation of step counting! |

<radiant> 'Quintuple File' uploaded by radiant: If anyone thinks mod2 was "ruined" because the speedrun is a speedrun for mod1 as well, then...here, you can have this level in its place. |

|
<radiant> Well, that takes care of that. |
 |
<mm> True. I think great levels should not be ruined. But radiant might not have been aware of this! So I'd forgive him anyway! (Sei nicht so frech, WW!) |

<Bekah> This was fun. Once I realized what the problem was (how to take a knight through every square of a chessboard, only visiting each square once, and ending where you started), I just pulled out my graph paper and pencil. When I had my solution, putting it into the game was easy. Thanks for the challenge. |

<gary> I got it, but radiant uploaded a solution from the first modification... |

<N7DOT> Good job radiant. <N7DOT> 'ASC 39pcs.' uploaded by N7DOT: Fourth of Several of a Series. I will start to slow down on how fast I'm making the levels for this series. Player 2227 Out. ------------------------------------------- |

<radiant> 'Assorted Candy Sorting (77pcs.)' uploaded by radiant: This level is really bad. No one would blame you if you just let it drift on by. Mainly I made it because have you seen how slowly N7DOT's series was progressing? Do we really need levels for 20, 22, 24 and who knows how many more? Time to cut to the chase. |

<N7DOT> 'Assorted candy sorting 18pcs.' uploaded by N7DOT: Third of several in a Series. More Gumdrop sorting... This time you have a place to put the bad ones. There will be a while before the Fourth is done. N7DOT |
