Think you're smart, Sup Forums?

Solve this puzzle before the thread dies and I'll believe you.

READ THE RULES CAREFULLY!!!

OBJECTIVE: Get the letter O to STOP on the green square. It must STOP and not simply pass over.

RULES:
1. You can only move one letter at a time
2. You can only move letters horizontally or vertically
3. Letters will continue moving in the direction they are moved unless blocked by another letter. If unblocked, they will slide off the edge and cannot be reused. For example, if your first move is to move the X on a2 to the right, it will slide off the board.
4. Finally, because it's Sup Forums, I must stipulate: The grey squares and their algebraic contents are for reference only and cannot be used as part of the game ;)

Give me your solutions using the algebraic labels. If you solve it I will tell you how many people out of the 350 I've quizzed at my university you've beaten.

GOOD LUCK!!!

P.S. There IS an honest, no-trickery solution. Don't cheat unless you're lazy or stupid or need the self-esteem boost.

Everyday im bumpinnn

I was just gonna bump till I saw another post
Go ahead, find another excuse to hide your dullness :)
This post was a sage btw

4e right

bumping

I don't know what algebraic notation is, but here:
a3->a4
a4->d4
d4->d2
d2->b2
a2->a4
e4->b4
b4->b3
b3->c3

Wait... that would slide over the green and continue. nvm

bump

Not hard broskies thanks for the challange

...

anytime bro did you get it?

Can you initiate a move, and while that piece is sliding, start another move? Or does the moving piece have to finish it's complete move first? If it's the first option, 5 moves.

...

>You can only move one letter at a time

Thats the first image to make me laugh in a long time

Easy:

A3 - a4
A4 - d4
A2 - a4
A4 - c4
5a - 1a
1d - 1b
4e - 1e
1e - 1c
1c - 3c

Win

5A would slide off not stop at 1a

>5a - 1a
That results in the piece flying off the board, making the next move invalid.

5a-1a is an impossible move. Read the rules more carefully.

glad to help out

this reminds me of some shitty slide puzzles from zelda, but I'm not seeing an immediate solution... are you sure there's a legit way? not some trick of wording within the rules?

Yeah, pretty sure this isn't solvable, as presented. Possible time-wasting troll.

/thread

a3 > a4
a4 > d4
d1 > d3
a5 > a3
a3 > c3

closest I can get legit :^(

the edge interaction mechanic (bottomless pits instead of walls) makes this hard, if any of the edges or corners were solid it would be doable

first you move the x on d1 to d2 (lets call it x1) then move the x on a5 to a4 (lets call that x2) now move the o on e4 to d4. So far x1 would be positioned on d3 because the turn you move the o, x1 would bump into it stopping it in its tracks. So now x1 is on d3 x2 is on a4 and all you do is move the o to b4. From here its simple you move the o from b4 to b3 then move the x on a2 to b2 making the o bump it and stay on b3.
So now your o should be on b3, x1 on d3, x2 on a4 and the last x you moved should be on b2. now simply move the o to c3 and boom bingo bango presto you won, now tits or gtfo.

a3 a4
a4 d4
d4 d2
d2 b2
a2 a4
d1 d3

is the closest i can get
still need a piece on a4 tho

that gets a single X onto the green square, not an O

\thread

this ignores the "momentum" rule

Closest i can get is a green in the centre

Your very first move is invalid, n00b

Cross*
what am i fucking autistic

no it applies the momentum rule as if the x's and o are sliding

Fuck, OP. I'm stumped.

D1>d2 would result in the X flying past and falling off the board

This is a Zelda block sliding puzzle for fucking Albert Einstein.

a3->a4->d4->d2->b2 seems like a good first move idk where i would go from there

ok, interesting idea

must movement resulting from initial "launch" of a letter conclude before taking the next "turn" to move, or does movement happen incrementally like interpreted by

yeah basically you can only construct from the 4 x's and the o

so this is an immediate push not a per turn turning order?
OP didnt specify.

OP HERE
Not a troll or trick of wording, I promise
I can post the solution now if you guys want? Should I wait or post now?

wait

>OP didn't specify
>Letters will continue moving in the direction they are moved unless blocked by another letter. If unblocked, they will slide off the edge and cannot be reused

is my answer plausible

Of course the movement must conclude. It wasn't vague at all when I said you can only move one letter at a time. That solution falls under the "stupid/lazy/low self esteem" category.

The example on rule 3 says the movement is completed all at once.

the letter must hit another letter to stop. it cannot stop at all otherwise. if it does not stop, it falls off.

but you didn't give us a direct answer as if its per turn or straight
threw

I've figured out a solution without the "blocks fall off the edge" rule, but other than that i can't do anything more

No. Your very first move is impossible. The X would keep sliding. Read rules more carefully.

ok, so still no solution, was misinterpreting

Solution:
e4->a4

d1>e1
a2>e2
e4>e3
e1>a1
e2>a2
a3>a4
a2>a3
a3>d3
a1>a3
d3>b3
e3>c3
Might be a long solution

That's not a possible move.

>d1>e1
this doesnt work

OP HERE
Alright, I'll wait to post the answer. The thread is now on the front page btw. Hopefully someone will solve it.

To everyone else, Yes there IS a legit answer. No stupid shit like starting to slide letters before others have stopped sliding. Read the original post.

PS it will save you time to use Post It notes or use a table in microsoft word to move the letters around. It's a bitch to do in your head.

GOOD LUCK -op

Doesn't work. First move falls off the edge.

Your very first move is impossible.

>not getting the joke

I'm just using mspaint and transparent selection to slide shit around, then ctrl+z when I fuck up

A3 down
A4 right
A2 down
A4 right
A5 up
D1 left
E4 up
E1 left
C1 down

yeah, only noticed later that rule

>not giving a fuck about your joke

You can actually do this without the d1 piece.

How'd you get that x to B2?

a3->a4
has to be the first move
because a5->a4 leads nowhere
and other moves just slide off
first step done someone do next

you fucking idiots didnt read there are no walls

>A5 up
Invalid move, piece would fall off the edge.

without the blocks falling off the edge the solution is:
a3>a4>d4>d2>b2
a2>a4>d4>d2>c2
d1>d5(where the solution now contradicts the original rules set out)>b5
b2>b4
e4>c4>c3

Could OP say if i'm any close to a legitimate solution?

Seriously this took me 5 minutes gone a new one

>A5 up
off the board, so does next

>still needing to inform me

>still not giving a fuck about your joke.

a3 to a4
a2 to a3
a4 to d4
d1 to d3
d3 to b3 (it was b3, not b2)
a3 to a4
d4 to b4
e4 to c4
not a solution, just how I arrived at that pic

It is not doable
OP is a faggot
Prove me wrong
>protip: you can't

OH the grey arent walls? Shit

>ok
>have a nice day

sorry mate, that's not correct, that's all i can say
try again, good luck
-OP

x a3->a4
x a4->d4
x d1->d3
o e4->e1
x a2->a4
o e1->a1
o a1->a3
o a3->c3

Is this right? Might have lost track of one in the middle

>Move X in A3 to A4
>Move X in A4 to D4
>Move X in D4 to D2
>Move X in D2 to B2
>Move X in A2 to A4
>Move O in E4 to B4
>Move O in B4 to the right
>It doesn't stay in the green square but I wasted enough time on this. Keep thinking fellow faggots

>o e4->e1
failed

Wait no I'm a retard, grey squares aren't walls

OP here, I do have a solution, but the thread is on the first page and I want to give people a little while to try and solve it. How about this, guys: If 4 consecutive replies to this (or any of my) posts tell me to post the solution, I will.

Call me a fag all you want but don't be lazy, there is an answer

a3->a4
a4->d4
...
I doesn't look like there's an easy solution if there is one

>you too

GREY AREN'T FUCKING WALLS READ THE RULES FAGGOT

>not understanding the question this much

Did no one read 3 & 4? It's half the damn rules!
