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.

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
Carter Kelly
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
Henry Thomas
Wait... that would slide over the green and continue. nvm
Carter Turner
bump
David Russell
Not hard broskies thanks for the challange
Jonathan Martinez

Nathan Ortiz
anytime bro did you get it?
Elijah Richardson
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.

Thats the first image to make me laugh in a long time
Logan Scott
Easy:
A3 - a4 A4 - d4 A2 - a4 A4 - c4 5a - 1a 1d - 1b 4e - 1e 1e - 1c 1c - 3c

Josiah Morgan
5A would slide off not stop at 1a
Levi Cruz
>5a - 1a That results in the piece flying off the board, making the next move invalid.
John Foster
5a-1a is an impossible move. Read the rules more carefully.
Luke Perez
glad to help out
Nathaniel Brown
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?
Aiden Stewart
Yeah, pretty sure this isn't solvable, as presented. Possible time-wasting troll.

a3 > a4 a4 > d4 d1 > d3 a5 > a3 a3 > c3
Noah Lopez
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
Lucas Bailey
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.
Brandon Roberts
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
Owen Hughes
that gets a single X onto the green square, not an O
Jace Reed
\thread
Parker Long
this ignores the "momentum" rule
Ryan Lopez
Closest i can get is a green in the centre
Kayden Powell
Your very first move is invalid, n00b
Aiden Nguyen
Cross* what am i fucking autistic
Kayden Collins
no it applies the momentum rule as if the x's and o are sliding
Owen Rogers
Fuck, OP. I'm stumped.
Robert Walker
D1>d2 would result in the X flying past and falling off the board
Isaiah Moore
This is a Zelda block sliding puzzle for fucking Albert Einstein.
Xavier Rodriguez
a3->a4->d4->d2->b2 seems like a good first move idk where i would go from there
Ryder Ward
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
Tyler Barnes
yeah basically you can only construct from the 4 x's and the o
Bentley Rodriguez
so this is an immediate push not a per turn turning order? OP didnt specify.
Charles Jones
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?
Leo Rogers
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
Anthony Sullivan
is my answer plausible
Aaron Brooks
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.
Jonathan Cook
The example on rule 3 says the movement is completed all at once.
Carter Taylor
the letter must hit another letter to stop. it cannot stop at all otherwise. if it does not stop, it falls off.
Andrew Reed
but you didn't give us a direct answer as if its per turn or straight threw
Michael Bell
I've figured out a solution without the "blocks fall off the edge" rule, but other than that i can't do anything more
Nicholas Johnson
No. Your very first move is impossible. The X would keep sliding. Read rules more carefully.
Joseph Cox
ok, so still no solution, was misinterpreting
Aaron Watson
Solution: e4->a4
Ethan Kelly
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
Robert Gutierrez
That's not a possible move.
Aiden Gonzalez
>d1>e1 this doesnt work
Josiah Anderson
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
Lincoln Reyes
Doesn't work. First move falls off the edge.
Jack Reed
Your very first move is impossible.
Hudson Jenkins
>not getting the joke
Jackson Jackson
I'm just using mspaint and transparent selection to slide shit around, then ctrl+z when I fuck up
Owen Sanchez
A3 down A4 right A2 down A4 right A5 up D1 left E4 up E1 left C1 down
Charles Wright
yeah, only noticed later that rule
Henry Ortiz
>not giving a fuck about your joke
Aiden Rodriguez
You can actually do this without the d1 piece.
Brayden White
How'd you get that x to B2?
Mason Howard
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
John White
you fucking idiots didnt read there are no walls
Jonathan Green
>A5 up Invalid move, piece would fall off the edge.
Wyatt Morales
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?
Nathaniel Nguyen
Seriously this took me 5 minutes gone a new one
Camden Fisher
>A5 up off the board, so does next
Angel Bennett

Chase Bailey
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
Henry Sanders
It is not doable OP is a faggot Prove me wrong >protip: you can't
Tyler Rodriguez
OH the grey arent walls? Shit
Parker Wilson
>ok >have a nice day
Landon Martin
sorry mate, that's not correct, that's all i can say try again, good luck -OP
Luke Gutierrez
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
Ethan Bell
>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
Josiah Morales
>o e4->e1 failed
Daniel Reyes
Wait no I'm a retard, grey squares aren't walls
Owen Wood
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
Nathaniel Collins
a3->a4 a4->d4 ... I doesn't look like there's an easy solution if there is one
Jose Flores
>you too
Luis Hernandez
GREY AREN'T FUCKING WALLS READ THE RULES FAGGOT

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